so from reading this is it to be assumed that some of my toons will be on X server and other toons will be on Y server???

I don't normally post but I have to on this. I have been a founder and done pvp really since the beginning. I can say if we take a step back the arguement should be that those founders should be upset with how pvp is now. I remember how great it was after months of grinding to get BM gear. people complained and BAM now you can get BM in a week, just from that my sage was nerfed but I still was one of the top healers because I knew what I was doing. Because of the change my slinger is now better geared in pvp than my healer with half the work. I still beat guys both on my healer and my slinger that are in full augmented WH gear. And I lose to some people in full BM gear. And my toons have some WH and some BM. Wife, kids, job means I can't do the grind constantly but if you know what you are doing it helps. When I see guys in full WH gear that know what they are doing, it is something amazing to watch in my opinion, and for me I hope that doesn't change. What I can say is though, remove the different stuns that count differently on the resolve bar. a stun is a stun is a stun. eh just me. I don't mind people in different gear but when I get stunned over and over and I can't do anything about it, that makes for frustration.

I completely agree, I have a ton of Tionese comms and crystals but have no real need of them. A barter system to Colum gear, or Black Hole would be great. We have it in PVP so its not unheard of in our universe.

Just to bump this because on the server transfer my quickslots all reverted back to one, and was trying to remember how the heck I extended it again, lol.

To the OP, I found on all my toons and my sage that the most challenging time was from 30-45 because it really does force you to play your toon as it is intended. I do miss the rejuv - deliv 1 second reduction buff but I am learning in the first hour of playing how to get around it. All I have to say is you just adapt and sometimes you just step away from the quest go do another one and come back. But gear, companion choice, etc all do play a part too.
