Isn't that what half the people have been asking for all along? They should've done it sooner.

I applaud the changes...make Ilum a place for organized RvR events instead of the massive, imbalanced valor farm that it is, which only benefits the overpopulated faction on most servers.

Getting 200 valor/kill on a kill you tagged in Ilum was a lot more ridiculous than giving valor in Warzones, where you actually fought to kill the person.

Now it's just easy valor for all...I'm picturing Gabe Amatangelo heading a Joker-style parade of floats filled with valor gas, dancing as he makes us all OD on valor.

Those 40 comms go on top of whatever amount of comms you get for finishing a WZ.

It current equivalent is getting 8 medals.

In the current system, it would take you 10 medals to get 500 valor....

LOL, exactly this. I mean, I'm okay with it, it works for both sides.

I don't like the Ilum credit either. They are basically giving people zero reason to have large scale battles now, which sucks because I'm pretty tired of the three (err I mean one - huttball) warzones and the last thing I feel like doing is more undynamic battles in them.

Now we await the arrival of the Deathstar to finish the abomination of Ilum. God speed.
Damn you've been sliced in two.

I agree. I'm not in support of straight up medal farming at the expense of objectives, but I did like trying to get as many as I could while still playing the map as I was supposed to.

Would have been neat if the first 4 counted as they said, then any additional ones had a drastically reduced bonus (but still a little something).

Even if it was just 10-20 valor and 1 commendation or something.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to encourage you to actually play the game now.
