Ilum XP Farm

All those 8-12k characters with 0 expertise? This is perfect definition of target rich environment.

Does it really matter how quickly other people get to 50?

I honestly don't care and I find it quite odd other people do.

I'm in the same camp as you. I could care less how other people choose to waste their time leveling a toon.

Have to say though, it sure was fun wiping huge groups of these farmers, but I guess that's just on PvP servers.

It all started on a pvp server and the incidents of 50's rolling grind groups was rare since everyone was to busy leveling

Frankly the only thing I can read into the people that are against this so called "exploit" (even going to the extent of saying BW should crack down or ban them) is that they feel the need to try and force everybody to play the way they think the game should be played...

Dont we have enough of this already?? I mean everytime people come up with a way to play the game that Bioware does not approve of they introduce a "fix" to put a stop to it.

Everyone has a different idea of what is and isnt fun - Just let people play the game however they want to

As Im a person who likes to take it nice and slow I still only have 2 characters at 50 even though Ive been in this game non stop since EGA and Launch. But thanks OP, at least now I know i can go to Ilum and get some extra XP so that I can go through the class quests (which is what I really want to do) while skipping the planet quests and sidequests which can be tedious and get boring after your 3rd time of doing it.

You just gave me a way to speed up my class questing - THANKS!

I like how people are ignoring the good points people bring up against it .

It's just "HURRR it doesn't effect anyone !". Well, the problem is it does effect the game. When you zip from 1-50 on Illum there's something you're NOT doing. You're not grouping up for 1-49 flashpoints, warzones, planetery heroics. You know that stuff you probably did the first time around? Yeah, people still look to do that, especially new players and this game somewhat depends someone on people making alts to keep the lowgame healthy. The people high-fiving each other over comments for leveling to 50 in a day are also the people that whine about the leveling process and don't understand why it's there in the first place, ie....people without common sense. Keep that in mind.

Pretty sure that the power levelers belong to a different demographics than those who are taking their time with FP'es and side missions. I havent even finished story on my latest chars, that stuff gets old after a while and I'd pay good money to be able to click a blue frog on the live servers.
