Give people more incentive to play Republic. Like double XP or some awesome looking gear. Give a bigger boost of Valor to those that play on the side with barely any population.

I mean do something for those that play the losing side. Hell, put Heroes on the battlefield so it makes this like Star Wars: Battlefront.
Crud like this failed hard with WoW since Wintergrasp. It won't work here, either. None of that "balances" the fact that what people want to be is winning. Giving a faction awards for being slapped silly in PvP is a politer form of humiliation, but it's still humiliation and the minority faction will still be very much the minority while the majority have a lovely time with their Ilum Turkey (Turret) Shoot.

Here's your long-term solution:

In the short term? Rollback, pure and simple. This is a frenzy on some servers, and it's utterly obliterating your already fragile PvP system in the process. Ilum is Bioware's Chernobyl, and the irradiated derpy PvP zergs are growing by the second to Godzilla-like proportions. Put things back to pre-patch and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. Then start over with Ilum.

Servers will be brought down to close of Ilum and we are LOOKING into a rollback
They did not roll back valor when people first started queuing for warzones and having it get closed down due to the lack of players, they will not roll back now either.

Today marks the day that every respectable pvp'er from each side unsubs from this disaster of a game.

This is a sad, but true statement.


How if I yelled at a you for doing something wrong all the time. You'd hate it, but if you got constructive feedback you'd be more accepting and probably change for the better. Seriously, I think half the people are here are rage-filled 14 year olds that use mom's credit card.

That's getting close to the amount of players during peak time...wasn't it supposedly like 350,000? It will soon be "350,000 lost subs due to Ilum PVP incompetence."
