Yes, each participant has the same likelihood of winning (if they are trying to win). How else can you interpret that example?

Rock-Paper-Scissors is balanced, but only in a 2 person game.
With 3 players, 2 can conspire and make give the 3rd person no option of wining.
Now, before you freak out, im going somwhere with this.
Balance in any game needs to be constantly updated, across all playable styles. Balancing one, then leaving it alone for any period of time while others are being changed, unbalances the entire game...
If one of the rock-paper-scisors players its not allowed to use paper as a choice anymore, as soon as the other 2 players know this, he is doomed. Scisors befcomes a usless choice for the 2 other players, and rock is now the FOTM choice. This results in eveyone usingrock as their choice over and over as one player is known to not be able to beat it, and the other 2 have to count on only 1 real aponent.
Actualy this is a good analogy for bh-jedi relations in the game... But thats another issue...
Its all up to the devs, and so far they have done a poor job timing their fixes.. well see what happens with the cu...

I have asked myself that same question. What is right, what is wrong? Who finally decided which things are good, and which things are evil, and what business do they have telling me this? Society in its struggle to survivesetup up this symbolism so that it can rage war against those that may get into its way of survival. Emperor Palpitine is using the jedi as a symbol of evil so that he can survive as ruler of the universe, he is not evil, he is surviving. Kinda like Mace Windu when he was face to face with the senator, he decided palpatine was a threat to the jedi race and had to be killed. So with this I leave you, jedi, or imperial are only evil to a certain point of view, it depends on that point of views need of survival.

Not sure if this has come up before but i was think if jedi are suppose to be 1.5 stronger than an elite professions did they also take into account that most people will have 2 elite profession on there toon meaning that they will be .5 stronger then jedi. So for eg: 2 bh were teamed a mbh mpistols and mbh mcarbine that would be 4 vs 1.5. I would like some in sight into this because jedi in theory are weaker by far!!!!

The 1.5 stronger arguments need to stop...they are just not reality...

But you have two Jedi professions which equal 3!!!! So actually, you out-do them by 1!!!! WHOA!!!!I've said it before and I'll say it agian, If your Jedi is loosing in PvP, it's the player's fault, and not the DEVs.
