I tried to play Ilum some today and fun fact: there were more imps in the pvp zone than the Republic had on Ilum and the Republic Fleet combined. I'm actually in the same guild as the OP, and even as a casual PVE guild we're normally the ones trying to rally every 50 we can find to pvp on Ilum.
PVP isn't the center of my experience on SWTOR so it doesn't crush me for it to be so broken, but it was a fun thing to do between raids. After all these Imps got their super gear the warzones are pretty much a joke now. It began as a small problem on some night version of hoth, but it has dripped down to ruin just about every area of pvp in the game.
