Hey Bioware. Ilum sucks.

    Your design is crap.

    Let me restate this:

    "Your design of Ilum and it's goals are crap."

    So, perspective time.

    The fact that Armaments ONLY spawn in one single small area, means the side with the most people, wins.

    Which - means, the already winning side, continues to win further. Meaning you keep pushing the wedge ever further into the gap, forcing it to spread more and more.

    Even WoW, which I dislike as a game, knew better than this. They helped the weaker side to try and get things in even kilter. They didn't really succeed, but at least they realised about snowballing, and tried to balance it. You lazy bums just reinforce the gap.

    Weirdly - even though we're outnumbered on this server, and OUTGEARED because of your epic fail system that favours the larger faction, WZ's actually feel like their a fairly even match mostly. While repetetive and can be boring - the fact that they can be won on a "level" playing field - makes the game, well, seem balanced in that regards.

    However, go to Ilum, which while I'm aware we're not "forced" to, to maintain the effective gap, and try and prevent it from widening further... we have to. We're stuck going back into the meat grinder JUST to stop the gap growing to a point where every single person we face is vastly better equipped than we are.

    Regardless of faction, this is TERRIBLE design. Atrocious. Appalling. In fact, words cannot express how much this "design" shows that you don't have the faintest first clue about balancing.

    If you *have* to keep Armaments in there, spread them over the zone between at least South/Central/North - so that a small roaming group, won't have to face 3x+ their number just to attempt to complete the daily. By small roaming group, I mean FULL DAMNED OPS GROUP.
