Massive amounts of trading on illum

You missed the entire point of my comment, I think.

If you don't like it--then don't do it. You do not NEED to complete the pvp dailies. You do not NEED to complete the pvp weeklies.

You may WANT to, but you do not NEED to. Wants != Needs.

Trading is wrong. The system might be broken, but that does not change the fact that you are still taking the "spirit" of the system and abusing it.

As for kill trading - just make your death take a kill off your daily total. There you go, fixed.

The current Illum system as it stands is wrong... If Bioware had spent more than 10 minutes designing it, maybe people would not feel the need to trade.

There is a bigger point here. For all the republic guys on servers with 2 or 3 to 1 population densities favoring the imps all you are doing is helping them get to battlemaster faster and get geared out quicker so that when you go to Wz's you face even tougher odds of getting a win there.

This was happening on Kaas City. All the sudden after KT started all these new imp battlemasters popped up.....Didn't work that way on the republic side. So your laziness and complicity are making the imbalance even worse.

The system "being wrong" is not a justification for trading. When you have groups of 40-50 people on both sides just standing in a corner killing each other--you're doing it wrong.

Insisting that trading somehow is "totally not exploiting" because "BioWare's system sucks" is ridiculous. If these people would actually go and PLAY THE GAME--all of a sudden, things become radically different.

There's a reason these groups have to do it on the downlow though. They know that they're doing something wrong, and they don't want to be caught doing it. They don't want their precious titles removed.

Personally, I'd change all the Battlemaster titles from these individuals to "Coward" and brand them for life.

People are trying to make the most out of a bad situation... One daily shouldn't take 5-6 hours to complete because of a poorly designed system.

On my server, we're outnumbered 3 to 1, and don't trade(With the exception of 2-3 people in the very early AM)... And playing the game nets the repub 2 kills an hour as they get face stomped... And the Imps sitting at center farming slow spawning Arms forever cause no republic players want to get farmed. I say bravo to those trading, maybe Bioware will take more notice of how bad their PVP designs are, if everyone avoids them.

Then DON'T DO IT.

I say that those trading need Valor titles, and rewards, removed.

Simply because "the PvP design is bad" does not excuse it. It's trying to justify actions you KNOW ARE WRONG.

You want solutions? I've presented a few here. NPCs dropping arms, removal of Valor gains from kills near bases, etc. Others have presented ideas probably more thought out than mine.

But quite frankly, my real solution is just to punish those engaging in this behavior. The justification of "We're making the best of a bad situation" is utter bullcrap, and those behaving this way know it is.
