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.
Well, you have a point. SWTOR didn't really implement anything that could be considered competent open world PvP, so calling Ilum opvp is a little misleading. I think what I'm most sad about it PvP in SWTOR is sitting in Fleet watching Sith talk about making strippers cry while you wait for the WZ to pop. The entire design of PvP in SWTOR is more or less T1-T3 Warhammer PvP...waiting for an instance to pop for your 10v10 battle. That makes me sad.
Then again, ME3 is out and GW2 or PS2 beta will be around soon, so I think my tour in SWTOR is about done anyway.

Two faction open world pvp never works well. One side will almost always outnumber the other, this is why DAOC did so well is because there were 3 sides. The patch is basically releasing more hutt based warzones so same factions can compete so people on the over populated side play something other than huttball. The faction imbalance is not a new thing and has been around since launch and there is no practical way to fix it.

Don't play MMOs, they will always stagnate and you will ask yourself why you're wasting your life grinding xp/items/whatever
Play real games you noob

To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

no. the amount of daoc love on vn is hilarious. they all forget what it actually was and think of it as some mystical fantastic game that was the best it will ever be. this is either because it was their first mmo (i feel this way about uo. but i understand why and know i would hate uo today.) or because vn was the official boards for daoc as they didn't bother running their own. either way, the population on here that played daoc is massive. if it was as good as everyone still thinks it is, they'd still be playing it. i mean everything else aside, the lag you get between input and the action happening will drive you off before you get to level 2.

Ilum sucks. Yay, collect armaments while I wait for WZ to pop.
I don't understand why companies have such a hard time with open world pvp. It's actually very easy to implement. Simply make servers like Darktide, and add in battleground/warzone type stuff for group pvp. In other words, you can attack your own faction and others at any time.
The other problem in SWTOR is that if you play both sides of the fence, they re-use a lot of areas for the Republic and the Imperials via phasing, so there's no chance of seeing anyone anyway.
