Slippery Slope

It was an exploit. You knew it was wrong. They knew it was wrong. Quit crying, you spoiled children.

How was it an exploit? How could you having a number advantage in an open pvp situation ever be an exploit? The area was open pvp, if players were in the area, they were fair game. If there wasn't a system in place to stop these players from taking over the enemy base, then why is that the players fault? (how do you not think "we should put up turrets in the base so that one faction can't come into the base so at least the flightpath is safe"?)

Sounds more like idiot developers not thinking about what the hell they are doing.

You can say "you aren't half as good at game design" and you'd be right, but game design isn't my job. I am not a professional in the industry. They are. I purchased the product, they screwed around and didn't hold up their end of the bargain, being that it's a game and we expect it to be entertaining. So far on here all I am seeing is numerous frustrated players.

I play republic, I was one of the people who got destroyed in Ilum, but I don't blame the empire, I blame the developers for letting it happen.

What worries me about these problems is that numerous PLAYERS have creative and well thought out solutions to them, but you as DEVELOPERS OF THE VIDEO GAME haven't thought this stuff through? How can we, who are just playing the game, have better solutions than the professionals that make the games?

As a two day old 50 Sent with 12.4k health, I went to Ilum, mapped out the area just beyond the landing zone, found all the quests I could, and started working on them. Then a group of 5 Imps found me and set upon me like a pack of starving rabid piranhas. Seriously, *** is your issue Imps? 5v1? Are you afraid? I damn near took one of you with me, so maybe you are, but I'm not going back to Ilum now, after dying a minimum of 15 times trying to collect armaments. You've made it clear, my measly 100 valor is more important than a little simple common courtesy.

Seriously, if you outnumber somebody by such overwhelming odds, you aren't good. I really hope you know the difference.

Read carefully. Being dumb and getting facerolled is something different than being outnumbered. You cannot stand there and kill every single player for the whole day till they quit in TF or BF.

If both sides had equal numbers in Ilum, the game could move on but they hadn't. Something cause sith to be more attractive for most players and that fact broke the mechanics. Some sith abused the broken mechanics and got huge advantage over pub. Easy.

Solution: Change the current mechanics so both sides can enjoy the game.

Geez. This thread extend the meaning of denial.

Your final line is true, but denial of the simple fact of what pvp is. Imbalance is a fact in every faction based game. Even if you put a cap on illium at least 1 instance would be unbalanced.

Anyone who was there KNOWS that it was the wrong thing to be doing.

If you don't know why it was wrong, then you really have much bigger issues to learn about in life.
Read a children's book and learn a morality lesson or two and stop being a looter.
