I am sure this has been suggested, but the search function in this forum is horrendous, so here goes.
What if there were an option to disable all UVs in Lockdown? This could be implemented at sign-up, or as a majority vote in the Lobby. I state option, because it is fun to work your way up to powerful gear and use it in PvP (that's what LD advertised when it opened as well), but it is also fun to play on a completely even footing. SK is better than most MMORPG PvP modes where 'competitiveness' is 80% equipment and 20% skill, but it'd be nice to see a mode that reduced the equipment component even further. This would also benefit new PvP players and casual PvP players by providing a slightly more level playing field.
