I really do not understand folks who are calling unsubscribing an overreaction.
Is it really that unheard of to not pay for a service that has severely disappointed me? Suing, now that would be an overreaction, but not giving them any more money?
If you were in a restaurant, ordered some food and a group of people would keep stealing the meals from the waiter, thus keeping you hungry and the restaurant's management would do nothin about it.
Would you
a, say it is not the restaurant's fault, pay your bill and leave hungry
b, simply leave?
Those who do not realise why this is such a problem need to consider the ramifications of this valor farming:
1, Unbalanced PvP content, every new 50 will go through hell and those having the gear will not even have the skill to back the gear up, so the warzone will be filled with battlemaster who don't even know how to complete objectives.
2, Unbalanced PvE content, this equip is more than enough to allow people to farm places that were previously too hard, thus hastening the process of acquiring the best PvE gear as well. A new 50 will never get into any PvE group, since they will be severely undergeared.
3, The "achievement" of gaining 60 valor has been destroyed.
There are more to be found, but this wall of text is too much as it is.
Btw, Imperial Sorc lvl 50 here, I did my daily on Illum yesterday, valor rose from lvl 43 to 45+ during the 20-30 minutes I spent there and we were not even farming the Republic spawn, simply killing Republicans while having all the points captured. Each kill equaled to 20 + 180 valor.
I left after that.
