It's not backwards at all. While your doing a "3 hour Operation" as you call it, Your also getting points for killing mobs and guess what: You can send your companions out on gathering missions and raise your renown rank and get extra bonus points along the way

The whole game was built around visiting different planets and doing the missions them. Everything else is on the side for a reason. You even killed your own argument again: 1 PVP / GSF match = 1 mission complete against 5 heroics + whatever bonus missions can't be equal because 5 and 1 don't equal each other

You can do the same things everyone else does but you choose not to and then ask why the results aren't the same

I love reading the stuff you write on here

Here's something truly amazing: Some people like to do both. I did random Vet and Master flashpoints and I did them with my guild too. Some people only like to do those with their guild. The points don't matter much. I'd rather be out doing stuff in the game than having to craft 100 pieces of something because that's the only option for hitting the conquest a certain week. I can now help my guild by doing dailies / heroics on every planet instead of doing the same things every day over a whole week. Doesn't that sound better than the way it was before?

Why are you so obsessed with what other people do in the game to earn their conquest points. If two people start the same mission at the same exact time and one person take 5 minutes to complete it and the other takes 10 minutes to complete it the real reward is simple: The person that finishes the mission faster gets to move on to do something else while the other person is still doing their mission

I could be totally wrong but I'm thinking the way the game reads it as 1 PVP or GSF match = 1 mission completed and 5 heroics is 5 missions completed. It doesn't count the time it takes to complete anything and just the result of each thing a person chooses to do and that's why it seems like the rewards are different

Rewards are different even if people are in the same group because of personal objectives too. If someone in a group of 4 gains a renown level while the other 3 don't the other 3 people don't get credit for that

There is no balancing it for you. Even if they changed everything to 100 points for everything you complete. 1 hour in the game is 1 hour in the game whether you spend it doing 2 PVP matches or doing heroics on a planet. In that 1 hour playing the game if one person gets through 2 PVP matches while another person completes 10 heroics plus the bonus missions the person doing the heroics will always come out on top because they completed more tasks in the game

I am with you 10,000%

Again as multiple people above me have said: While people are out on different planets doing heroics while in a group or by themselves they are completing multiple objectives at the same time. Points for killing x amount of enemies + points for completing a mission such as a heroic + sending companions out on crafting / gathering missions while also gathering items themselves on whichever planet they happen to be on as well as different bonus missions while completing the heroics and collecting the trash you complain about sending their companions off to sell the trash and having another companion helping them continue moving around from planet to planet if they haven't unlocked the legacy items that reduce the time it takes for a companion to return from selling trash. So again if someone is completing more objectives listed under the conquest tab in the time it takes you to complete one PVP or GSF match then yes they will have more points than you regardless of whether you choose to accept it or not.

It's pretty simple Bioware / EA put in a system where people can do whatever they feel comfortable doing. If someone wants to play solo they can play solo or group up to do heroics or FPs or Ops or PVP or GSF. As others have already stated people get more cq points because they can complete multiple actions at the same time while doing heroics on any single planet they choose. If you want to only play PVP or GSF then feel free to do it but let everyone else do what they want because what other people want is different from how you want to complete your objectives

As others have said I'm sure the numbers will be tweaked as with everything else in the game. It hasn't even been a full week of the new conquest system I say let people enjoy it for now and let BW collect some data on what people seem to prefer doing in the game

To me the conquest points you earn from doing either group content or solo content is a bonus to whatever you're doing in the game

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean people aren't grouping for FP's OP's and other groups for killing world bosses. In the last month or so I've been doing more group content then I have in almost the entire time I've played the game. PVP and GSF are not the only ways to play the game

At the very least give an option in the cut scene where you can choose if you want to ride in the walker or go on the ground

Congrats Swtorista!! Your videos are amazing and helped me get back into the game after some time away.
