I'm not disagreeing with your post because there are plenty of very obvious advantages given to the Imps, however the "Imps' turrets tick faster on Alderaan" I don't get how people don't know this yet, but as soon as your team owns at least 1 turret, each kill your team gets counts as 5 points taken from the opposing team.

A stun is a hard CC, hard CC will prevent them from performing any action.

I have one screenshot that I took yesterday (I was there in the morning so I'm not sure how it was when the population picked up). When I first arrived the Imps were camping our base just out of the range of our turrets, so I went to a different speeder point and tried to get armaments and find solos, that didn't work as we were outnumbered. I eventually just went back to the Republic base and joined the other players, we would just try to lure them into the turret range and get all the valor we could. Eventually we realized we could heal the turrets and get valor for their kills. So we all grouped up on the turrets, healed them, and waited for the Imps to get impatient and charge in. I died somewhere between 5 and 10 times and went from rank 40 to 45 (I have no SS of my rank, but for spending somewhere between 3 and 5 hours there, I'd say that's not too much). I never once saw our population go over 35 on the republic side and I definitely feel we gained more valor than them. During one of their massive assaults on our spawn point they actually tried to take out one of the turrets, they got it down maybe a quarter before they wiped. This is what it looked like for most of the time until they got valor-hungry and charged in. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l552/Adventfayt/Screenshot_2012-01-18_15_25_18_018766.jpg

That screenshot shows you gaining 500 valor. Here's a screenshot of a warzone giving me 1133. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l552/Adventfayt/Screenshot_2011-12-20_01_13_53_700050.jpg

It takes you 5 days to get 4 ranks? lolwut

It costs 2,450 warzone comms to get a full set, so instead of 1 day it takes 2, man, that's rough.

Did any of you ever think to heal the turrets that "gave massive amounts of valor"? On my server (Mandalore the Indomitable) the Republic side just healed the turrets and waited for the Imperials to get impatient and charge in. We were outnumbered 3 to 1 yet we were gaining way more valor than them. I went from valor level 40-45 in 3 or 4 hours and died maybe 5 times. Also, we got up on the walls and AoE'd them when they were out of turret range. I'd happily give up my 5 levels for a rollback, it was a poor introduction, but at least BW is on their way to encouraging legitimate PvP on the PvP planet. You're all complaining that you got farmed or you farmed them, yet I doubt nearly as many of you were complaining when you could just walk up to the objectives and trade updates and finish a weekly in 10 minutes.

I got the level 20 set before I hit 20, and I got 2 sets of level 40 gear before I hit 40, it takes a little over 1k warzone comms for a full set, that is easily gained in a day. If you need comms, go for medals, and if you're good you'll get medals while still getting objectives, also, if your teammates are nice they'll actually give out MVP votes which are a nice bonus.
