PVP Farming and what to do with it

Hi,

since my last visit in TOR nothing change so I'm throwing topic and hope people will talk about it. I'm planning to resume playing in march to check new features like new UI, Legacy and stuff like that if they will come. I have lvl 50 character. After some time I stopped playing having no hope for proper endgame.

Topic for today is:

 

PVP FARMING

 

PVP GEAR - as you know, once you hit 50 you need to get bags and gather equipment for yourself to do proper PVP gear. Until then you are just canon folder. Bioware decide that each 3 wins in a day give you a bag. And each 9 wins in a week give you second bag if I remember.

 

HOW THEY FARM - that created pathology where people join warzone and if they are loosing - they leave and terminating match because of that. And it's VERY common on lvl 50 on low pop server like mine. It was hard to do anything because of that. Most warzones was terminated. And day after day less people were playing WZ and while I was waiting around 15 min after I hit 50 lvl for WZ to pop up. After a week it took hour or sometimes more to join WZ. And after I joined most of the time match was terminated.

 

HOW TO FIX IT ? - Put the idea on the table. Mine is to give bags not base on Wins but base on time in WZ or amount of points scored in WZ. You can't do it by kills because there are support classess like agents that score low on kills but kill fast and help team a loot. And healers would have problem since they would heal less and fight more.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ILUM - I did know that WZ are crap right now so I tried to have fun on Ilum. There was nothing else to do. Problems with WZ I described above. It was hard to gather people for my lvl flashpoints etc. So I decided to go for Ilum to find out that this planet is one hell of an exploit.

 

HOW THEY FARM - Some Ilum folks will kill me for that but I think that BW and other people know this already. First - Ilum is a gold farm. It's common to see lvl 13-14 near some chests. Even higher lvl do that. One told me that his lvl 50 character just gather gold for his alts...

But there is something worst than that. I encountered something funny. 6 people on Ilum. One of them was me so there should be 5 other people. I didn't saw anyone for quite some time and then I found them.

Around 8 people. 5 Imps. 3 Rep. Naked on ice planet. Standing next to each other and... killing themselves in turns for valor. They asked me to join and they told me that they are doing this for few days already.

 

HOW TO FIX - No idea. Gold farming is not a big problem for lvl 50. But valor farming ? It's a pathology. Problem is - you can't take away PVP rewards but it's kinda sad to see folks killing each others in turns :| So... any idea ?

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It's strange because when I stop playing game was in state where lvl 50 had nothing to find on Ilum (i know i know - low pop server but it's not only server like that) and had nothing to do in Warzones. And since lvl 50 were busy exploiting it was hard to do group lvl 50 PVE stuff.

This is why I rerolled for last 3-4 days to check out Imperial agent before I stop playing and moved.

WZ prob's you posted are the down side of a lowPop...

 

Ilum kill tradeing /goldfarming ...do you make a ticket?? Because there only one way to let BW know is by telling them its happening.

 

( oh yes BW team reads these so i guess its like makeing a ticket ...but you get my idea right)
