I am valor 59 (don't abuse Ilum) and have yet to get a chest, earring, offhand, or implant token despite being level 50 for weeks. I do, however, have 7 or 8 relics, 6 boots, 5 pants, and a host of other doubles and triples. I know other people who made battlemaster without full sets as well. Random bags are random.

they just need to shut down the pvp zone in Ilum and rework it. It will not only destory pvp on these servers but once the inevitable cross-server Qs happen, it will kill pvp period. Ilum is a terribly, horribly, very badly designed pvp zone.

This is quickly becoming the single-biggest-blunder in MMO history; EA's officers are clearly asleep at the wheel for allowing this to happen. Its gonna hit them right where it hurts the most: NYSE.

This is the thing Bioware really need to concentrate on now. A real fix to make Ilum fun and something people like to enjoy PvPing at. Not the sick puppy they released at 1.1 that the Imperials exploited by zerg and gank squads. It needs to be a large war zone in feel maybe with 24 players and have PvP goals and objectives that are a bit more than the hunt the armament game we now have in the Ilum PvP zone. The other stuff can wait a month or two, fix the broken stuff first Bioware!
May the farce be with you

Ban them all, dissolve their guilds. send a strong statement: exploiting in any form with be routed out and clearly dealt with. Do that once or twice and future issues not be so critical to fix with programming.

I would also encourage the devs to then focus on improving the grind to reduce temptation.

I have seen similar behavior as well and I do not understand why Illum was reopened when it is still very obviously a half-finished idea. Sounds like EA may be more involved in this game than we would like them to be. At least that's a better alternative than having Bio push this half-finished craptastic world pvp on us of their own volition.

This.

Bioware already stated that they have metrics to determine what people exploited valor and will punish them, we however yet to see any real action taken.

Fulfill your promised BW! Its wonder what banning few dozens of exploiters can do for overall amount of people thinking its ok for them to do also.

You sir, sound like a baddie on a tempertantrum.
Same exact time-frame for both of these methods, as it currently stands.

Version 1: Take 2 weeks leveling up to 50, lots of PvP, hit 50 at 40 valor, start working on champion gear. 2 weeks later, hit 60 and start working on BM gear.

Opened: something like 50-75 champion bags.

Verion 2: Spam PvE for 3 days, level to 50, 0 valor. Spend 2 days farming Ilum hard to get valor 60. Spend 3 weeks farming warzones.

Opened: 50-100 champion bags, 48 BM bags.


You either a) fail logic or b) do not understand the definition of "fundamentally", "same", and/or both.
