The idea is very simple. If one side is outnumbered in population in the Ilum PVP area, allow that balance to be addressed by allowing a certain amount of companions to be deployed. How you choose which players get to deploy Companions is up to you, I would suggest by Valor rank *but I'm open to suggestions* This would not only give outnumbered sides a chance to make up numbers, but would also give us a reason to gear up companions once we reach 50. Thoughts?

Well I give up. I was mad last night, came back with a cool head today and actually enjoyed Ilum to a point 3v1 was far better than 20v1, but its clear that many of the republic players on my server have left already, those few that we still have left are suddenly vastly outgeared. I could spend another month of my life trying to get the gear that I was having so much fun working on before R1.1, but the funs gone. Watching eight Battlemastered out players on Empire stomp their way through out mix and match republic group was the last straw. it's clear Bioware has no shred of respect for its community, I guess I should have been warned by the experiences with Customer Service at the start and the sheer lack of any forum posts on the Dev Tracker.

Title says it all

Yuppers

Myself and my guild (50+) have all quit tonight. We play on a server where the population is 20-1 against us. We knew it would happen when it started and we made sure to roll on the weaker side. We all complained about the normal things but we were all resubbing. We're experienced with mmorpgs and it always takes some time to work the bugs out. R1.1 changed that. We're pissed about Ilum, but you know what it happens, bad patches happen. What normally happens though is the Community Dev's rally the troops, they provide the feedback and while we all *****, we do so out of frustration for the game we enjoy. Tonight Biowares Community Devs (in my opinion) have shown a total disregard for the basic rules of Customer Service and the community. They've pissed off a significant percentage of the player base. What would I have suggested. While unpleasant, a rollback to R1.D, a free day, an apology coupled with a request for more players to get involved in the Test Server to prevent further occurances and a valor boost for each player on the server to help lessen the blow to those players that geniunely did not abuse the situation.

I have no idea what to say. So effectivily you took all of this time to do... what exactly? I don't care that the patch was exploited, thats naturally going to happen. But the long awaiting reponse was, we're aware, he's a half hearted solution and we can't be bothered to fix the mistake.

I'm with you, everyone who's been farmed knows its a problem, but its the lack of a response thats really annoying people.

Cancelled my sub an hour ago. Love the game, but nothing short of a rollback on valor and shutting down ilum while they work it out is getting me back.

Someone explain to me how I can land at the Republic Landing point, be ganked by 50 imperials and get back out. Needless to say my sub got cancelled 5 minutes ago. I don't mind an unfair fight, but to allow spawn camping and reward Empire for it?
