I personally have mixed feelings about it. I love the fact that is now available, being able to to go back to do the story missions on Voss and Corellia that I skipped due to x12 XP and went strait to makeb to hit 55, and do them at 58 and still gain enough XP to level to lvl 60 is amazing. Great job on that part BW. However being forced to have this especially once I am already 65 kind of sucks. I for one would like to still have the ability if I am lvl 65 to go to Tatooine and solo Trapjaw should I ever feel so.
^this. As an Assassin when I mindtrap you and you cc break it and DON'T call inc to your team dont be mad when I hit you with an insta whirlwind and make you helplessly watch as I cap your pylon
Win-trading would be actively going into group ranked mainly and letting each other win to boost you ratings. but if you are just going into solo and actively trying to win against each other (even if you are all in the same guild) then no that wouldn't be win trading, because you are actively competing against one another as you are meant to
another upside to the gear price changes is the PvEers who do WZ dailies soley for conquest now have an easier time to at least get a set of basic pvp gear so they will be a little more viable and not be total liabilities to their team
I say keep doing what you are doing I'm on JC and my guild <DEATH> used to super que lowbies all the time to farm comms till BW made the titles BoP. Plus it is nice to hear the pubs are doing well in WZs. I for one would like to see pubs que more on JC and get to a point where both factions are on an even level instead of Imps steamrolling the pubs 90% of the time
I do know that on my server (Jedi Covenant) the advanced purple war hero crystals are fairly common and decently priced on the gtn I use them on a few of my toons
I personally would LOVE to see a character specific x12 XP legacy perk. A legacy wide unlock is too much. This way if I wanted to use it on an operative to lvl faster I can, but I can also lvl a sniper the normal way if I choose. Also it should only be available to subs to stay in line with the spirit of subbing and also make non-subs even more willing to sub. The other way would be to go the blizzard route and let us use CC/cash to auto level a toon to 55
Plus: as said before Close quarters should be a passive for all Disciplines. And Expunging Camo should be changed to apply to Force Leap instead of Force Camo. IMO
