So many battlemaster imps without even full tier 1 or 2 pvp gear?

Train wreck has been mostly cleaned up let’s keep moving folks. On a good note I had some fun in Illum (2) yesterday. While Illum (1) was over populated and very one sided there was only 70ish ppl in Illum (2) 1/4 of them being the republic enemy. We would ride around until the groups met up and go at it for a bit. Good times.

I think it took about an hour to do my daily due to the crazy lag, and that's 30 kills. At 200 per kill (Empire always have all 5 objectives controlled during the height of Ilum madness) in its original state, that's 6000 valor in 1 hour. Of course, I'm a melee, so it's much harder for me to tag anything without dying. I'm sure the ranged classes can do much better than I did, and people are also there for much longer than an hour. I'm guessing most people probably did get tired of a 1 FPS crawlfest, but on the other hand there are definitely people who went from say, 53-59 in one day too, which would take you about a week in WZs.

I wouldn't label it as poor judgement as much as a massive oversight. Ilum prevoiusly was a strictly no pvp zone for most people. They tried TOO hard to change that. That doesn't exactly justify a rollback when the vast majority of participants came nowhere near the exaggerated claims a few are making. I'd say I got roughly that amount of valor and I was there for significantly longer than 2 hours. Then again it was a lot rougher on melee to get the gains. I see no problem with capping the valor either. They'd probably have a lot more action from both sides than there is post second patch. As it is I gave up my Ilum daily yesterday.

Did it ever occur to any of you qqing ****babies that world pvp is intended to net you valor faster than WZ? Isn't that what every single one of you people complain about, how there is no reason to world pvp because warzones get you better rewards and faster honor/renown/valor (whatever game your playing). Yes the population is imbalanced making it seem bad, but the republic players are benefiting just as much as the imperial at least on my server. Imp have more players but rep sit in their base and the turrets help out, as people defintley overstep into its range.

Some things need to be tweaked in ilum, there is no reason for valor roll backs or disabling world pvp. Expertise is soft capped once you get to around 10percent, full champion gear players can still beat battlemaster geared ones. **** stop crying or just quit the game.

Maintained being the keyword. People crying about this issue don't seem to understand that. The videos I've seen show people gaining in the ballpark of 1.6k valor in two minute stretches of time.

If I were trying to make an issue appear dramatically worse than it was or trolling the people complaining about it I would post only the stretches of time where I obtained the most valor.

I've been saying for a while, cap the Valor gain to 50K from patch 1.1 to whenever they figure they actually got Ilum fixed. That's roughly equal to a whole day of continous WZ, and consider that WZs are nearly nonexistent during the initial rush of Ilum madness (because everyone was in Ilum instead) it's pretty much impossible to get 50K from WZs even if you did nothing but WZs because they weren't popping at all. Most people who went to Ilum probably didn't get more than 50K, so they're not affected either. Only the guys who stayed there forever loses their Valor and I think that's perfectly reasonable to cap Valor gain equal to basically a day of continous WZ (and winning all of them, a very unrealistic assumption).

I'm not going to say it didn't happen at all, but I'll guarantee you that number is exceedingly small.

Oh... your post just became invalid, people gained so many valor ranks camping the republic base.

It's probably small yes but this has a very serious effect in WZ gameplay. Basically I see Republics just quitting WZ because they figure whenever they lose, they went up against one of those guys who went from 53-60 in one day. Before, seeing a BM either inspires respect or 'this guy has no life' depending on your perspective. Either way, you had some excuse to tell yourself why you were killed in 3 hits. Now people just think any BM that 3 shot them got it undeservedly, which really hurts the PvP game.

Proof or your just BS'ing
