5 star.

If you have people exploit like this, and not only don't punish them but let them keep the rewards- that says to everyone else in the game 'please, exploit, you will not be punished for it so do it while it's still possible to before we catch it and fix it!'.

That would be an awful example to set.


If instead, you hand out temp bans and roll back valour/gear gained for exploiters- that sends a very strong message about what you get if you exploit.

There are 3 ways out of your base; 2 entrances on opposite sides and a taxi out into the battle area. It's entirely possible that there were enough Imperials camping both entrances that you would not be able to back door out of the base like the Republic raids could do on my server, but there's no way the imperials can stop you from taking a taxi out into the battlefield. From there you can run around taking objectives behind the imperial lines. Ultimately, the imperial horde will assuredly hunt you down and defeat you with overwhelming numbers, but the kicker? You will have taken AT LEAST 1 objective from them meaning they would lose the 300% bonus from controlling Ilum along with another 75% for missing an objective. On top of that, they would lose, AND YOU WOULD GAIN the 200% defender bonus when they come to attack you and take the objective back. If you take 2 objectives and fight at one of them as a defender, you actually gain MORE VALOR per kill than the attacking side that has 3 objectives!

The system is fine, and even has nuances like that I described above to deal with the (sometimes extremely) severe faction imbalances. If you sat in the base and let them 5 cap the whole day, it's your own fault (even if you're taxi was getting camped, you could have gone there manually on your speeder to avoid it).
We couldn't leave base well because we'd get zerged down quite quickly being outnumbered badly. Sith couldn't enter base because w/ turrets it probably would go Republics ways. So the entire time, it was 40 (or however many they had) people sit outside the base, 25 sit inside base, every now and then someone gets pulled and zerged down.

You are right that we could have done different things. We did backdoor cap, can't hold it for any period of time. As you noted, they took it back quickly.We did move out, but got zerged down by bigger imperial balls. We did get some bonuses, but minimal. Comparatively, our gains were smaller than the gains gotten by Sith. Talking with their top PvPers, they were easily hitting warhero+, none of our battlemasters got close. The reason I want rollbacks is I'd like to see some balance restored to the relative pvp ranks of people.

No, I vote for no rollback. Ban, suspend, or rollback any individuals that received excessive gains like what was already mentioned by BW initially.

Roll back needed! I'm not playing anymore but this is necessary for most people, especially the ones who only/mostly pvp in SW:TOR.
Beta player since 20th December 2011.

I don't really care. PVP is a giant cluster**** of issues anyways. Another one won't hurt much.

By limiting the rollback to everyone's valor rank as of 10am EST yesterday, yes.

Sadly, this is not false.
War Hero with a bounty on him by his own faction. Aren't I popular.

Yes, but it matters very little to me because my sub ends tomorrow and I'm not re subbing.
