For those who just hit 50, world pvp now consists of running around in a circle in the central area competing with the same faction to get 30 armaments while waiting for BG to pop. I've been at it for three hours, and have 17. Awesome.
But, you say, kill the Republic for your armaments. That would be awesome, except there simply aren't any. Ever. On the rare chance (once a day) you see any, assuming you don't get ganked 8 on 1, you never see them again.
There is no point controlling the objectives. None whatsoever. Who cares about bonus valor/whatever when there simply isn't any valor being gained?
Not to mention, all the people wearing loads of gear from the previous ilum exploits and valor gains curbjaw you anyway should you run into them one on one (which never happens, really, anyway. Has any one in MMO history ever has an actual 1v1 fight in the open that wasn't a duel?).
Bioware- why are there objectives? What do they add to the game? Why is the armament requirement so high when there are so few spawn points? Was flying in a circle your intended goal? If so, mission accomplished.
It's just awful. You could change it, and quite easily. Why do you want people wasting so much time for so little reward, running around gathering armaments, which have no storyline at all. You don't turn them in anywhere to help a war effort or to achieve anything. You just gather thirty, then they magically disappear from your inventory. Poof!
Where did they go? Why? What is the point? Did it help your faction?
Just a boatload of fail in every aspect.
