The Problem with PvP Gear

[Libertine]

After reading the Notes for Test Server i started to wonder wether more commendations really are a solution to closing a gear.

 

I mean lets face it, right now the Problem isnt that Champion or BM are far superior to Centurion but rather the fact that nobody actually uses Centurion gear so imo the progression is somewhat broken there.

 

By the Time you open enough bags to have enough centurion commendations to buy an item chances are you allready have a couple of pieces of champion(yes RNG is bad and all that but random = random, some get lucky, some dont).

Centurion gear right now is only there to fill a hole where you didnt get the champion item from a bag.

 

Same with the champion tokens from BM bags, those are useless. considering how much valor it takes to go from 50 to 60 and the insane token cost of champion items the only those are good for is gearing your companion.

 

So why not take a different approach.

 

1) Get rid of all item-specific token and make Champion tokens like the current BM ones

2) Introduce cheaper Centurion Bags(say 120/120)

3) make champion bags actually drop only champion items(why is it named champion bag when it drops centurion stuff anyway?)

 

Centurion Bags should carry 5 Centurion Tokens

Champion Bags should have a HIGH Chance of dropping 3 Champion tokens but not 100% if it doesnt drop champion tokens make it so you get 7 Centurion Tokens

Battlemater bags should have a HIGH chance of dropping 1 Battlemaster token but again, not 100% and if it doesnt drop you get 7 Champion Commendations.
