As for faction imbalance, not much you could do except cap the zone.

Also, possibly take a page from the game that shall not be named and implement something like Tenacity. Now they borked it because they didn't get the numbers right but with tweaking it could help.

Honestly you have one basic axiom, people love to win but will accept a fair fight. If you leave it such that it's a giant snowball (i.e. bigger faction wins more and the rewards get boosted by winning therefore giving them a greater ability to win), then the losing side (mostly Republic) will simply stop trying and give up. Then the winning side will have no one left to fight.
THE TURRETS EXPLOIT IS FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY TIMES MUST PEOPLE SAY THHAT??

Every couple of pages I see a post from someone who has unsubbed because of patch 1.1 AND because of how the dev/community management team has handled the situation... and that's just a vocal few out of many who have unsubbed and simply chose not to let the world know on these forums.

I really really loved this game, and I'm so sad to see it hemorrhaging players like this... really wanted this game to succeed and having a thriving community of millions of players for years to come. Bioware has not shown any sense of urgency, their proxies to the playerbase are silent. In my head, I'm picturing the powers that be at Bioware, locked away in a small conference room, talking about how best to save face in this situation instead of taking action and rectifying this harbinger of a patch ASAP.

That "bounty" come directly at the expense of a sizable portion of the game community. This isn't a case where a few Imperials got some extra credits in a lottery and we congratulate them on their luck. This has immensely wide reaching ramifications on content, where the positive gain for one faction is inversely proportional to the negatives for the other.

I do hope that you do in fact roll back the sploiterz.

Because NOONE with valor ranks will get a bit of respect for it if you do not.

I'm fighting 200 imps in Ilum, been fighting there all day with some success.

But most of these players came streaming in once you all announced that the turret thing was an exploit.

Getting some pretty good FRAPS of it too, for your sake I hope you fix this.

Because you'll be the laughingstock of MMOs if you don't.
