Being that a new event that wont hurt you or hinder you causes enough frustration for you to unsub...

See this is the issue with this crowd, the western shelf in Ilum was always a contested pvp area for 50's. I do not understand why people are complaining about the revamp of something that is still there right now. Every person complaining about the western shelf flagging you for pvp need to go there right now in there server. That is what the area was always for. We lost ilum around febuary I think, and we have always stated we want it back. I do not see why people are calling this a pve themed update.

On the pve side, you are sent to ilum for the Battle of Ilum and False Emperor flashpoints. The pvp players used to be sent there at around 47 if I remember, to check out the pvp area. I know it has been a year since we had a reason to be there but it is still a pvp area and I still collect my Valor Boost from the contested area.
and the Force beat generic Swords and Magic any day. 8/26/14 That was my old signature but after RotHC, I went back to superheroes and swords and magic. Now waiting on Dragon Age and a SWTOR story expac for my Bioware fix 7/30/15 Returned for KotFE. Finally, a story expac.

PvE'ers are complaining because it seems to be PvE content in a PvP area a la the HK part in Outlaw's Den.

At this point, everyone is assuming everything about this patch before it has hit the PTS.
I'll probably die if you group with me, but I'll go out with both lightsabers drawn stabbing someone in the face. Probably you, but it's cool. Forever Shenanigans!!

My main concern with this, is will the lag issue caused by numerous players in the same area be fixed?

This was a pretty big issue with the original Ilum PVP, and turned many players off from it.

Will thing bring the missing Bind to Legacy Saber in the game, or is it a completely useless event?

So, the event is useless if you can't twink yourself with a smuggled hilt your fresh 50 didn't earn?

L2P.
That which does not kill you merely postpones the inevitable.

See you don't know either. If there's only pvp rewards, then who cares about this content, it would be optional. If there's pve rewards then it would be fine if they allow pve players access to this system without causing them to flag. However if there is forced pvp and the content offers pve rewards then the content is no longer truly optional - in fact it's pve content that's being deliberately withheld from pve players.

More information is required, let's hope they don't screw this one up

CAUTION: DO NOT LOAD SWTOR UNLESS YOU HAVE AFTER-MARKET COOLING INSTALLED!!

I can't speak for everyone but what alot of you rookie mmo players consider ganking, my crowd considers what we used to call "OPEN WORLD PVP"! Get your big girl panties on and get ready to fight, No hutt ball, no silly orbs, no nodes , it's just you and your group (better have one), against them and their group. Only the strong survive! I personally cant wait to get ganked, camped, griefed........I really miss SWG. If your on The Bastion and your Imperial you better gank me before we gank you
