Excuse me?

My Sorc just hit 50, like two weeks ago, and before that.. you did the valor grind through warzones, but once you hit 50, you head to ilum and make up to 200valor a kill, and the kills are easy as pie, you end up going up a valor level in no time because the valor is so huge. There is no skill in valor farming as we know it on illum, just who has the numbers, and who gets grappled into the hungry pack. Some skill for you.

Lets not forget, that there are huge population differences between the factions on servers, so one side would own illum, and be getting 200valor, the other would be getting 70, you probably don't know this, because you likely come from one of those lame servers who trade skills on illum.

4 for 2000 seems a bit high, but it does fix the problem of favoritism.

can anyone check if the kills count towards Battle of Ilum in Warzone if you're facing the same faction? As in, what if the warzone is imp vs imp, or pub vs pub?

You can't think of it just as 4 for 2000.. you have to think of it as 15minutes for 2000, or however long the wz is going to take, because rest assured, you can already make much more than that with illum.

Whoever your opponents are on your server who let you kill them while owning all five objectives are amazingly stupid.

On my server you're lucky to get the pubs to engage if you hold three points, much less five.

I've never traded kills, I never will, and Ilum is dead 90% of the time on my server, Lord Adraas.

So what if we fight our own faction in Huttball,
does that count for ilum daily also?

Umm i used to play the game, win the game, AND get 8-10 medals a game. but i guess now everyone gets what i get even though im 1000000% better then them. Nothing like getting no reward for individual performance. This patch was designed for all the ******* that i've been carrying for the past 3 months. Not only do i now have to carry them to a win but they also get rewarded the same as me. There sure as hell better be some EXCLUSIVE stuff from rated Warzones. I'm talking stuff you can't get just by grinding but actually have to be good to get. like win % or rating system that is only obtainable by being good.

Skill in Swtor...hmm..anyho mini Jesus patch is good not sure if this was BW of dealing with the 99% that hated ilum or a way of getting people ready for whenever the next tier of gear comes out.

The pubs need to get their daily/weekly done, just like the imps do, they will camp in their base while we own it all, and get kills as they grapple imps in, or lure them close enough to turrets, and of course, they get let out to make it look like they have a chance. Anyway, it's not just about valor, if it was.. i'd never go there.

I'm on swiftshaw, possibly the highest pop pvp server, but there are still much more imps, but saying that.. republic do own illum at some times of the day, and they do have their victories from time to time.

I mean they're significantly lowering the grind by basically doubling what you get, but then it doesn't punish you much for losing. 4 medals = pft, 5 minutes of gameplay.
