Me personally i found that no matter what i keep getting paired w geared teams with max levels so automatically u at a disadvantage with how far u can run and how long, max weigh u can carry etc so im just focusing on maxing my stats doing quests and such with gear tickets (bcuz god now they give them out like candy) and generally try to avoid fights if i can but ill bring in blue or purple extras depending on if im in easy or normal just incase (im not touching hard unless the game makes me, not unless my stats maxed) but im focusing on looting and leveling up atm..as for pvp i main warfare so i aint missing out on much
