I was invited to do this. I will not. I do not care if it will take me multiple days to finish a weekly, because this is not actually playing the game. This is laziness personified and being rewarded no less!
They aren't tabbed out for hours at a time like the botters are.

But once again, they're not actually playing the game.

To say one bad thing is better than another bad thing is silly. They're both equally unacceptable.

To me the trading is no different that sitting at the entrance to the republic fort obliterating or pulling into the cannon the Rambo's who get to close. That's not exactly PvP either.

You're absolutely correct, it's not.

Hence why kills made at the bases should not provide Valor or credit for the weekly/daily.

Ohemgee, suddenly people have to venture out!

These people need to be banned, at the very least, their gear and valor removed.

There is no justifiable reason to do this and should not be allowed. In ANY game, it would be considered exploiting but I guess BW condones exploiting.


Hear that gold farmers, BW don't mind if you exploit.. they punish noone


Its just silly. I am on THE FATMAN server and guilds such as FIGHT, FOAD, AXIS, Etc.. all do this. It should not be allowed and the ppl that have done it should be punished.

Yes, I too would like to get this set up on Giradda the Hutt. The Imp Go Round is b.s.

The issue with this exploiting is using the /stuck glitch to get back to where they died instantly. This trading thing can be fixed easily by making is so if you /stuck in Ilum, it moves you back to your base. THen they have to spend minutes meeting back up at mid to do it again, and are easy to pick off in real PvP.
21 days left of play time. One more cancelled subscription due to Bioware encouraging kill trading on Ilum.

Win trading was never really welcomed in other games with PvP so i fail to see why it is allowed here. Let the queue jumpers get to rank 60 they will still get screwed over by the really really bad drop rate on BM tokens..

It is still a lame thing to do and i hope BioWare is looking into this.

You have to wait 3 minutes anyway and there are plenty of places to do it unseen.

And I'm sure they will, of course, they won't fix Ilum to actually make it fun. They'll just fix the glitch. Like Office Space.
