.... it IS cause of the lvl gap. A level 49 cannot take on a Vr9 or a VR10 in this game, unless that lvl 49 is a god at the game, and most people are not a god at this game. a veteran rank player has access to WAY better equipment, and has more developed abilities. Its honestly cause A lot of max rank vets stormed into the servers, if it was not 90% VR12s, it would not be anywhere near as bad. Something had to be done about it. The game is not going to die out because there are servers that only allow pre vets in it. Its not going to kill you to be forced to face someone more along the lines of your level.its not rly beeing negative. its based on experience from other games that committed the same knew jerk reaction to whine from casual crybabies that couldnt compete in pvp and (falsy) assumed its cos of the level gap. all these games are dead or f2p(basically dead) now. prime example SWTOR.
trust me its not gonna be any different this time.
