I decided to go to ilum to see what is was all about. After doing some of the PvE quests there, I found out how to get to the pvp area.
When I got there, I was told the whole point of this area was to drive around in circles in the center and pick up crates when they spawned. I am playing Empire, and I guess the Republic are supposed to do the same thing... but there are no Republic in Ilum.
Can Bioware please add more spawn locations for the crates or decrease the spawn timer? I have been here for hours, and still need 2 more. It is very annoying having to compete with your own faction for these crates.
I can not imagine doing this everyday, but I finished the daily and weekly Warzone quests, so I needed something to do.
