Nightfox_ Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Why bother even having valor if you can just arrange massive valor trading wars in Ilum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 And you don't think something to that effect doesn't happen on other MMOs? In SWG when battlegrounds came around, people set up meetings where they swapped back and forth win/loss to grind for GCW tokens to buy stuff.

pursang Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) "Valor Trading Wars"? I feel that this should be the title of an autobiography of an American stockbroker who ends up fighting in Afghanistan. You should trademark that immediately.

Corpsevapor Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 For the same reason they have expertise as a "gating" mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfox_ Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's not a gating mechanic if you can farm rank 60 in an hour or so once you hit 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GundamDouble-O Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well if it's losing subs, which I know it is, then it's a bigger problem then they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepoverland Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 LOL in an hour? Obvious troll. Why do people take pride in "discovering a troll"....how about calling this game out for what it is.....Highway Robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfox_ Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) I'm not being a troll, when you are trading bases and get the valor buff for each side with a full ops on both of 20 people, its a problem.

Kromzor Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well if it's losing subs, which I know it is, then it's a bigger problem then they think. I have more than a few gripes with the game, but I guarantee this is not a reason for a single person canceling. And every game loses subs after the free 30 days are up, even WoW did.

That it has happened in some other game makes it less of a problem how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taren Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) I dub thee: ValorGate! I'm of the opinion that valor trading on Ilum is tantamount to cheating or exploiting. I'm not engaging in it on the server I am on and in fact I have not seen it happen on the server I am on. I'd like to see Bioware come down on the players engaging in this kind of activity, but sadly I've seen the Customer Service response that a player posted on the PvP forum that condones this activity. Unfortunate really. Edited February 4, 2012 by Taren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kromzor Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm not being a troll, when you are trading bases and get the valor buff for each side with a full ops on both of 20 people, its a problem. If its so easy what are you actually complaining about? What does it matter if its "pointless" if its so easily taken care of? MMOs make you do lots of stuff you could consider "pointless" all the time. Why do I have to level to 50 to get all my skills??? It only takes a week... Hence, this is a troll post.

Reenolols Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Same exact thing was possible in warhammer. People didn't do it, because they weren't completely worthless, and you got banned for it. No idea why kill trading is allowed, I guess because only pvers would do it, and they gotta keep them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razot Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well its blatantly obvious that Gabe knows nothing about PVP, so the question is how long will this last and how much damage he will do before the inevitable happens. So far its the weakest part of the game and keeps on back sliding further with every patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiff Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) My reply to an in game ticket about Ilum was "try pressing ctrl+u, ctrl+u". I guess nothing is going to get sorted soon. :/ Edited February 4, 2012 by Raiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfox_ Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm not canceling my subscription or anything else, my point was just that it makes the valor ranking system completely worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fungihoujo Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 My point is, why even bother having valor ranking then I like your suggestion for an alternative way to do pvp gear progression that you brought up in your OP that couldn't be taken advantage of in any way. Thank you for being constructive and not just making another thread to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fest Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's not a gating mechanic if you can farm rank 60 in an hour or so once you hit 50 lol? Even if you had 100v100 trading valor in Ilum, there is no way in hell people are going from valor 1 to valor 60 in 60 minutes. Sorry, but it isn't happening. Try again.

Saerol Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The trading really needs to be addressed, groups of Republic and Empire blatantly doing this nightly now. It's disgusting to see them so brazenly advertising it in general chat and still no action is being taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupra Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 why arrrange kill trades if not having valor?the only pvp going on is kill trades if you eliminate that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
