If you are Imp, You must like to play virtual NASCAR in the middle of Ilum for hours on end, trying to pick up your 30 armaments against 13 other people. If you are Repub, you never go there because you will only get the middle once every hour or so, then hold it for 5 minutes, until Imp zerg and crush you.
Or you just don't do Ilum. Which I think is the more realistic option.
EDIT: While I do agree Ilum is a joke right now, I don't think other content should be put on the back-burner until Ilum is changed. And yes. Changed. I don't want Ilum to be fixed... change how it works all together. I would not mind a Wintergrasp type situation where every hour or so, two factions fight for a one hour control buff. Maybe the buff gives us extra daily rewards instead of a 'buff'. Or maybe the buff would be applicable across WZs also. Ie... if your side controls Ilum, then any WZ win gives extra Valor/Comms.
