Kill-trading makes no sense to me, but then I play to...er... play, I can understand people being really ticked off about it.
Looks absolutely boring... After the first couple of trades I'd be like 'wth? I'm paying for this?'.... log... then unsub... then play Puzzle Pirates or something.. lot more variety and fun.. lol
I can have patience when something was bugged which caused a massive gain in valor, which was never addressed or removed.
However, when they continue to ignore 40-60 people taking off gear, coordinating kill swapping in caves, {mod edit} teleport right back where they died, allowing for the other side to kill and repeating it all day until they achieve their goals it just goes to far.
What's worse is when people try to bring up the issue on the forums I hear they have been quickly deleted.
Just makes me really sad to see the game go down so fast when stuff like below is seen.
{mod edit - please don't link to specific exploits or detail how to do them}
which is why pvp needs to be less about gear grind and more about the skill. kill-trading's only in existence if people think they're getting something for it. amazes me how many people i've come across over the years who seem to want things so easy.
"walk me through this dungeon you're 20 levels too high to do and i'm 10 levels too low so i can get phat lootz and heaps big xp."
"let me kill you a bunch of times to get my phat pvp gearz and be, like, not a noob now."
it's one reason i maintain that gear never translates into skill and one reason i'd love a game to do away with both gear as a reward for raiding and gear as a reward for pvp.
to me, it's the same as having a running race. and, if you win a few races you can drive a car instead. soon, a few guys are driving past the runners, winning more races and congratulating each other for being pro.
this valor thing?
makes the pvp even more of a joke and swtor really doesn't need any more laughs.
actualy, I'd prefer that. Also leaching.
I played Dragon Age at full cheats. With two key button press every enemy visible would die.
Bioware already confirmed that kill swapping is perfectly legal

How does this stop you from having fun? Are you mad because you have to "work" harder than someone else for the same thing? If you think its work then you shouldnt be playing the game in the first place. I have fun earning the things I use in a game if others want to cheat to aquire the same things its their lose in my opinion.
If SWTOR were only a PvE game it wouldn't be an issue. However, I enjoy competative sport play which comes from going up against players in PvP world combat and Warzones. When I find myself totally outgeared by other individuals who have managed to obtain such gear quickly through exploits, it does effect my fun.
THIS is why TOR should have never had PvP, at least at launch, if not ever.
TOR is not meant for the PvP type. It was designed for KotOR fans (read:single player) and for BW fans (read:single player). Why they got away from this I don't understand. Not all MMO's need PvP. It just creates more hassle.
Why? Better tack on some broken garbage pvp, hype it like the next comming and sell more copies
