Will these posts ever cease to exist? Not meant as a total and compete flame, but this game is so much better off now than pre-CU (other than the constant nerfs to Jedi, but Jedi have no one to blame but themselves and BH's). We're actually playing together now. When you're looking at those battles, I'm guessing you're looking at battlesWAY before theCU. The six months before the CU, everyone was solo this, solo that. If we had a decent GCW with incentives to do so, those battles would be back. It has nothing to do with the moronic times of go get a doc buff and boom, I win.

Problem is there was a LOT of exploits around back then too.

Whilst I dont doubt a few people grinded the hard way up to Guardian there were plenty that I can think of that macro'd crafted crystals to oblivion (back when it gave you XP), Force Throw'd lairs for mad XP, etc, etc. And that's not even getting into the whole Fight Clubbing that was the original FRS.

Well let's see what exploits affect us in pvp post cu. Fr2 / fr3 / cloak exploit, overloading saber (it was there pre-cu too though), bypassing cooldown timer (no one will realize if you don't check your combat log), not sure if they fixed but not long ago you could drop a profession and still keep the skills (i.e grind medic 0200 drop and keep bacta toss and shot).

Now pre-cu I didn't pvp much because I was grinding most of the time but the ones I knew were, the meditation exploit (which they did fix after awhile), and that one where you could steal npc's weapons (i.e 1k dark trooper stun baton and such, but I don't think this exploit lasted more than 1 week I believe)

The whole idea with CU got lost somewhere on the way trying to balance(read nerf) the Jedi and BH. For a long time i really liked the CU and thoght i was a good idea.

But lately i have started to remebering how much more fun / balanced / fast paced / subscribers this game was. The CU is obselete, the Devs failed to balance the game and fix all the bugs.

I have lost every bit of confidence i had in the Devs to make things right.

In my opinion there is only 3 things to be done here...

1. Fix all the major buggs in the upcoming expansion.
2. Roleback to pre CU, because it was more balanced back then.
3. Drag and drop this game to Recycle Bin !

i would recommend removing the cooldown timers and giving us the old combat queue and then just letting people spam their best attack again

sure people would die like instantly but hell it'd be pretty awesome to actually be able to do that again

I will tell you how I feel about the CURB, I do not PvP much these days if at all since I PvP solo often due to not being able to find a group to travel with and before the CURB I was a very heavy PvPer and there was always an active group of Knights or overts and a certain cantina gathering spot for us to get one going if there was none. the old days were better, I do not like the slow paced crap we put up with now.

give me my game back. pre cu all the way!

pre cu is the rage, but will never see again....makes to much sense to please your customers.
