While I understand the frustration, it's like that in almost any mmo. For example, before WoW I had played SWG and before SWG (pre-nge, or whenever they introduced the set classes) I had my hands in UO. While the latter 2 did offer multiple builds for pvp there was always a meta to each. It's really just a function of mmo's. In SWG you could set builds up to either take out health, stamina, or mind and since most had low mind most pvp builds obviously went towards that (Swordsmen or TKM anyone? of which I was a tkm lol). Jedi's (and I knew several) in general just completely rekted anything in their path, unless there was a BH who knew how to play :). So love it or hate it, the concept has been around for a while (pvp meta that is) and probably is not disappearing.  In an environment where multiple abilities/professions are offered there's bound to be a build that just have a synergy about them and that forces a meta to come into play. I love pve and all types of pvp (pvx'er by heart) and you have to realize that the rating lock is needed for pure pvp'ers, otherwise what do they have to work towards?....basically their version of raiding, in a warped fashion.

Unlikely. S1 gear was unlocked because the devs actually understood that locking PvP gear progression behind rating gave a huge advantage to the early movers. They had to and PvP is better for it. Cosmetics are (well, can be) attractive but it doesn't hurt anybody's performance if they don't achieve the rating.

Yeah, I gotta wrap up today and come in for like ... crap ... two hours tomorrow to deal with a project I've let slide because of holiday ads. Meh. No worries, after that it's all punkin pie, turkey and dressing and DOUBLE XP WEEKEND! Now, to pick which class and character to level up. :lol:

That would be very awesome! Allowing for some places/creations to get put into the world would be very cool to see!
