Here are the things that I've observed about the Ilum changes:

1) Faction imbalance a significant factor.

2) Excessive lag during large confrontations.

3) Healers don't get valor for kills.

4) World announcement for player location is pointless, considering the size of the map and the fact that it doesn't account for every person who passes the same point. This is understandable, considering it would spam everyone's screen. But, it's misleading because you might see one or two people being announced, but an entire ops group just passed through that area.

5) The valor rewards are too high. It gives players an incentive to stay and gank beyond the requirements for daily/weekly quests.

6) The quest rewards are too good. Everyone is trying to get PVP gear because it's viable for hard modes, as well. This exacerbates the faction imbalances.

Please add any other observations that I might have missed. Please be constructive. Flaming and whining doesn't fix anything. If you care about the game, then help the developers instead of insulting them. If you don't care about the game, then go play something else and stop wasting your life trolling these forums.
