Well... some of you may not like what I am about to say but the die has been cast so to speak... I quit my Rebel faction earlier tonight and have decided to go Imperial. The reason being I am simply tired of getting the short end of the stick so to speak. I got to Staff Sergeant and almost -4k Imperial faction before I bought my first pet (supposedly the best our side has to offer) and guess what? He sucks. Really, he does.
I have been sitting idly by on the sidelines of the GCW hoping to hear the Devs concretely address the issue that ATST's are overpowering and provide a grossly unfair advantage in PvE for any player that has them. This has not happened at all (nor likely will). My reasons are actually for the benefit of the guild to be quite honest. U all know how I feel about PvP in general (it's stupid and nothing good comes from it) but as a dedicated CH who grinded (yes goddamnit I grinded ch xp without using any exploit or ever seeing a Tusken in the old Fort when that was "the" spot) only to see my skill points invested into futility because some fucker can pull 3 ATSTs. U know what's funny? Moon and I took on an NPC ATST and I set Bane on him and he got incapped in about 10 seconds... This is the best pet (Frenzied Graul) a CH can have ideally and of course the Devs recently stopped these very same babies from now spawning anymore because they "were too powerful"... Yet again, ANY FUCK CAN HAVE 3 ATSTS WITH ZERO SKILL PTS INVESTED... Beauty logic eh?
So, all that being said I have decided to fuck my ideals and throw my lot in with the rest of the powergamers. I have a long ways to go to earn the faction needed (x3 multiplier for non-humans) but I don't really care. It will give me something to do. And when I finally do have my own minifleet of mechanized armor, then we can all go hunting and kill the shit that none of us even in a group of 10+ could do on our best day. Why have I chosen this path? I haven't... the goddamn game has forced me to do this if I want to have any hope of being viable... I have a couple short months left at best in this game before I need to move on. I can't sit on my hands and wait for the Devs to get it right between now and then. Especially since the idea of being able to unlock and become a Rebel aligned Jedi in the next two months is about as close to implementation as me getting laid on a first date with Salma Hayek.
Anyways, there you have it. I don't know really how this affects my PA status but I figure it shouldn't be a big deal. You guys can still go all Rebel and even get your faction HQ if you want. I'm just going this route for the stoopid fucking metal chicken that has made my classes and skills obsolete so we can do Krayts/Jedi/etc. since most of us will never get the chance otherwise. Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
