Haha, so Mythic has successfully destroyed open world PvP in two straight games. That's serious clusterf*** talent right there.

To be fair to Bioware, they are doing great changes for the game overall. They admit to their mistakes too. But it is a little maddening that they even thought Ilum would work. Oh and that they didn't act quicker to turn off the valor in it when it was giving too much for those 6-8 hours a few patches ago.

I think they are learning though. I hope so anyway. They SEEM to be listening.

Unless I'm reading the changes wrong, there's literally no real reason to Open World PvP...

There is a reason why WOW doesn't have much open world pvp either. There simply isn't a good enough system in either game to make it work. Trying to script open world pvp is what makes it fail imo. But that's the case in most games. I am talking about warzones and the way they are handling medals/gear/valor etc. that is evolving in a good direction.

I guess it depends on what you enjoy. Fans of open world pvp just got told to GTFO in SWTOR. It'll be a ghost town. If you're a fan of small team based PvP, it's probably a benefit but it comes at the cost of most any significant OPvP.

Are you calling Ilum open world PVP? And are you actually sad it's going away? MY GOD COLLECTING THOSE ARMAMENTS WAS EPIC! Base camping the repubs was almost as stimulating.
