More incentive for leaving war mobs in Starfall than there is for clearing

Anyone else think this might be the case? I've heard about drops from the Starfall war mobs for days now because of people clearing to the center island and backing off...maybe something should be changed about this, though I don't know what =/

Pretty clear he means there is more incentive for players to farm war items by not totally clearing a war zone.
 
I don't believe this is the case, since in Starfall your chances of getting named mobs on the outer edges are pretty slim. Not only that but you get less loot from taking over a zone (less rewarding) than you do if you defend a zone from an attack (but is also more difficult to do). Twice now, since Starfall has been occupied, at least two sets of raid forces have attempted to take it back and cleared everything but the center island, and, have failed and wiped to the center island. Starfall is not easy at all and needs a solid raid force.
 
The outer islands are probably single groupable, but the hard part of getting the center island is simply because they are so many mobs. Last time I went there to attempt to clear them, I counted 23 linked aggro mobs that were pulling from MoP. That's quite a lot of mobs to be pulling unless you have solid CC. So yes, I think that you really do need a solid raid force to be able to clear Starfall. I think what most people think about the wars is that there really isn't enough of a gear upgrade opportunity for them to even bother with trying to help with the war.

What? No.

Unless is was changed, the max pull from there is like 5

You can pull them off, but its difficult, kinda dicey.

Also, when we were doing it we concluded that the center island was not worth the effort, and had no problem getting named around the outside.
 
I've cleared Starfall out 3 times in the past. The MoP island is the worst thing on the planet. You can take longer to clear the MoP island than rest of the zone put together. Most people give up after a wipe or two.
 
In contrast I'll add that most other zones I've seen the war in did not require really anything more than a group, and in one particular case just myself and vexiz boxing.

The difficulty of the center island is quite boggling compared with the rest.
 
Yeah, I imagine that a good monk could split the center formation after some culling around the edge of the island and maybe a little CC
