i like it, lvl 33 and already have maxed out everything for pvp rewards that i can get pre 50. That being said there are alot of problems with the warzones atm:

you should get medals for the following things:
Capping a huttball/passing to the person who caps
defusing/planting a bomb on a gate (assuming the planted one exlpodes, first to explodes gets the medal. That being if two bombs were planted within 5 seconds of each other, the first would blow both doors)
Taking a point on Alderaan (the civil war)

Yes i know medals would go through the roof, but then we would just need to reduce the value they give, to like 30 valor/3 commendations per medal.

also allow for a during game scoreboard, to show were you're at (i.e. sucks when ur defending and dont remember what medals uve gotten and end the game at 74k damage dealt cause ur defending west point in Alderaan, and u couldave gone out and gotten the 75k dmg medal by a single attack on somebody)

Need to split up 50's from 1-49, not yet, but in like 2 months they should (if they did now, queue's would be to long)

would be super awesome if they had some sort of balancing for BG's, sucks when i queue up and i have 4 people between 10-15, and then i get in and we're up against 4 50's in pvp gear. (we actually won a game like that, was lol'able) Its more often then not, a garaunteed loss.

World PvP rewards. We have zones with world pvp, would be nice if we killed somebody on lets say Nar Shaddaa for example, you would get a world pvp commendation which could be spent on specific world pvp items different then the warzone items.

Finally, Better warzones. I personally HATE voidstar, and alderaan is only ok. I love me some Huttball (im a vanguard, doesnt matter if ur a full pvp gear beast with 19k hp. If ur in the wrong place, and im setup on a fire pit, Harpoon and ur dead. Get like 10 people every game this way, mostly ball carriers). I really want to see a siege style map (DaoC style, not voidstar style. Where u could attack it with base attacks/spells for little damage, but still damage. and we could get control of like imperial walkers or tanks etc to do high damage to a wall/gate/building. Think Strand of the ancients, but better)

id prefer the one where u capture the 3 points...

solo queue playing hutball is stupid cause always grouped with people that havent played it and doesnt know how to pass...

and the defending the doors isnt really a challenge cause u can sit back and just aoe the spot where everyones trying to click...

so Queueing for a single zone than random..

If anything medals need to give MORE valor.

It will take hundreds upon hundreds of games to even go from Valor 99 to 100, and thousands to even reach that point.

Commendation cap needs to be much higher.

I like the idea of making a 50's only bracket, once more people get to 50.
Absolutely needs a during game stat window.
I disagree with world pvp commendations though. I think it will cause excessive camping/griefing.
I like the warzones, but it depends more on the competency of my team whether I enjoy it or not.

All in all I really enjoy pvp though. It's fun healing on my sage. Being able to hold off a cap until help arrives and sprinting over to a fight to save someone and give them the edge to win their skirmish.
I enjoy playing my level 13 sniper a lot more if I didn't get huttball every time. It's fun seeing my name near the top when I'm only level 13.
