No, the devs answer of "Be careful" is lazy on their part and not good enough, they need to allow us to deactivate the PVP flag via preferences, or something even better. agreed that would solve the only real issue I have with this game.

Thank you. I mis-typed. I meant harassment on PVE servers.

The entire previous expansion (starfighter) is nothing but PVP and offers nothing to PVE players. One of the big differences is that PVE players don't harass/gank/zerg or otherwise work to ruin your experience. While certain PVP players seem dedicated to ruining/ganking he experience of PVE players on PVP servers.

I doubt many people (besides gank bangers) on PVE-RP servers complain about a lack of open world Ganking/PVP. Many of us bought a Story Driven MMO and rolled on a PVE server to avoid this. I know the PVP community has lot of power but I still really don't get why the Devs don't fix this exploit and I don't understand why they feel the need to include PVP in every single special event, which means that those of us that don't PVP can't finish or fully participate. At some point now that the PVP folk have Starfighter, will the Devs provide something, anything that the PVE payers can fully paricipate in.

I disagree, this would only work on PVP servers. I love this game, bu I would leave if they started forcing even more PVP onto PVE servers.

Sounds awesome if they keep out any PVP elements on PVE servers.

if you want open world PVP with others who are good at PVP, why not join a PVP server. I am sure that it will have more PVP skilled players who can and will provide a real challenge for you.

Agreed, that I would definitely pay for.

If that is the case the event, like the new starfighter event should be presented as a PVP only event. The devs should not pretend that it is a pve or pvp/pve blended event when their design makes anyone there vulnerable to pvp harassment. If it is an all PVP event then publicize it as such. So if the Gree event is for gankgiefers and not PVErs, I wish the devs would be honest.

No as far as I can see the very effective PVP griefer lobby did a great job of making sure that PVP ganking was available to harassers on all servers It would be easy to shut off PVP on PVE servers or at the very least stop designing new events that seem perfectly designed for such PVP bullying. Or at the VERY least limit PVP to those marked areas so that those of us that don't want to be pleasure fodder for PVPers don't have to be.

There is a very large difference between my learning to adjust my play style to the team work needed on FPS and Ops compared to having to adjust my playstyle to avoid the PVP griefers. I hate, absolutely hate knowing that the griefers are enjoying their ability to destroy my enjoyment of the game.

Whatever changes need to be made to fix this need to be made. I signed up on a PVE server so I wouldn't have my experience ruined by the Griefgankers. I hate knowing that they are getting fun out of ruining my experience. For me this is the highest priority fix that needs to be done, whatever changes need to be made. If that means that PVE servers become PVE servers and are no longer" Mostly PVE but we allow ganking and griefing" then that is more than fine with me.

That is my one real dream and hope. Protecting PVE players on PVE servers from PVP griefgankers and forced PVP. Poeple on PVE servers should be safe from PVP predators. The PVPVauto flagging is in my opinion the most serious issue with this game. Other than that I really love SWTOR.

My guess is they are trying to enjoy ruining your experience. I doubt that people like that have any positive intention towards you or anyone else.

Thank you, this just about says it all. Opening up the rules so that paid assassination is allowed on PVP servers wouldn't bother me and may be fun for those that enjoy PVP>
