Players understand there's new gear and lvls. So, you don't have to remind people that mmo's change gear. NO SH*t we know that. What is making players angry is nerfing their current pvp gear. Its a mindless idiotic decision by Bioware. They can't fix their own bolster buff and all the noob players complain about getting owned in pvp. So, they nerf the pvp'ers. What do we expect. Bioware has been retarded about mmo pvp since this game came out. They could learn a few things about world pvp etc from SWG. I say just get rid of the expertise.
Bioware caters to the noob F2P instead of veteran players. Like most mmo's they won't realize their mistakes until the game fails.
