I'm a bit of an essentialist so I may be bias when I say, "Take personal responsibility" for exploiting a broken game mechanic.
The second I heard all guildies scream on vent how awesome Ilum was for valor they were advised to complete their dailies, indulge a little, and get the hell out of that **** show for the obvious reasons. If you exploited broken game mechanic then you rightfully deserve the "ban-hammer."
Because a part of the game is broken dosen't give you free reign to abuse the mechanic for personal gain (unfairly) over someone else. I personally didnt even touch Ilum with all that crap going on. What's the point of facerolling someone OVER AND OVER, killing any real chance of PvP?
IMO If you took part in this exploitation you arent a proponent for World PvP, just a sponsor of your own epeen.
