I agree with the original poster. Sadly every game with PVP ends up full of the same %$!%. It ends up all about chaining off skills that make it so your opponent cant do anything at all.
It is stupid. I'm for some PVP with no CC's, no pillars to hide behind, no places to sprint off too... Hell just dump me in a steel cage with my opponent. At least that way we both get to have fun regardless of the outcome. The current system for nearly every PVP game on the planet is one guy having fun, giggling with glee while he silences, roots, stuns, molests the other guy who just stands there looking dizzy.....
...stupid. But no one has the vision to change it.
OMG!!! Its not a FPS. Why dont you go back to MW2.
No seriously, Listen to yourself!
What? What's he saying that's wrong?
Roots and stuns are a horrible horrible thing about MMOs. They take away from the enjoyment and add pure sorrow. They're a result of poor design which no MMO has seemingly been able to get past.
MMO Devs even know roots and stuns suck. Did you know originally WoW was supposed to have very few if any of these? Now it's like half roots and stuns!
Roots and stuns are Dev EZ mode no offense to the Devs. I'm sick of them. They should be rare and not so dominant in MMOs. They take away from games. That's why low tier PvP >>>>>> high tier PvP since lower tiers have less stuns and you'll be stunned 50% of the tie in higher tier PvP.

Devs forgot to put in Diminishing Returns or something.
I was being perma KB'd all over the map the other night.
I'm already getting sick of being rooted and rooted and rooted and rooted ... oh hey! I'm rooted, I'm stunned!!!!!
Just let people fricking fight!
Most games have roots, stuns, holds, and so on. It's added to give more depth to the combat system, to add utility.
Otherwise you'd have people just stand there auto attacking each other and the one who does higher dps wins. Fights would be who can burn through their shields and healing first then outnumber whoever is left. Pretty boring stuff.
Utility gives more options for a fight and lets you actually stand a chance when you're outnumbered or to give yourself a tactical advantage.
Just deal with it, there are counters to everything. Don't play the game solo, it's multiplayer for a reason.

This is why people won't let me use items in Super Smash Bros
Getting that out of the way, all of that would be fixed with a good Science ship/officer covering your back. Maybe they have to be rebalanced a bit, but saying that we can't have stuns/roots at all is like telling someone in MMA to stop using clinches/takedowns.

(Even though I do play the hell out of some MW2 on my 360=P)
I disagree, it has consoles and its a shooter.

Not acceptable.
Same applies for all CC.

WoW's Rogues can stunlock you to death in seconds without you being able to lift a finger - does that game contain 'weak combat' also?
