Can you all at least concede we should have an option to exclude ourselves from In-Faction PVP? This would stop wasting peoples' time for those who will now no longer play Huttball Rep V Rep...

I think you're all missing the point. We should never EVER be in this situation in the first place. Regardless of how snippy you think they were, the PVP element should never turn us on ourselves. And it's never two equally equipped/skilled groups, it always ends up being one person who is alone on the other side getting stomped by one or two VERY geared players. Just because it's not happening in your leet guild doesn't mean it's not happening. It's a legitimate point that needs to be discussed, not merely dismissed.

Tonight, we had our third incident of people in our guild taking what happens in the warzone personally and the second time we've lost a guild member because of it. With the Rep vs Rep gameplay and because we have more than 4 players interested in PVP'ing, we sometimes have guild members end up on opposite sides in the same match. This In-Faction PVP needs to be seriously re-thought. In a PVP match, emotions will always run high, often higher than high-end PVE. It's one thing to die to some nameless individual from the other side, whom you may never see again. It is something entirely different to die to someone that you not only know, but you interact with on a regular basis. Deaths from the same person probably happens the same amount with or without a guild member on the opposing side, but the perception that the person is singling you out may seem more apparent because you know them. Republic versus Republic PVP is counter-intuitive and destructive to both morale and to camaraderie. It has so far also been destructive to our guild. We should be working together, NEVER working against each other. These issues I mention go even further when guildmates are opposed. Huttball is a "game" in title only as there are deaths involved. Bioware, for the good of all guilds in the game, please remove In-Faction PVP. We've lost two great members because of it and I am getting to a point where I will start pushing my guildmates to boycott Huttball altogether until it stops.

Remove Republic vs Republic gameplay (unsure if Imperial vs Imperial exists at all). I have had to fight alongside many of these players on Ilum (open world pvp ftw, btw) and then when a Warzone popped, had to immediately play AGAINST the same people who I was defending and who was defending me. It absolutely sucks for morale it sucks even more when you are cast into a warzone against people from your own GUILD!! Participants from one faction should ALWAYS be working together and NEVER working against each other. To do so is counter-intuitive.

One of the solutions is streaming now... http://www.twitch.tv/xanth1as

Mine?! =-d

We are definitely in need of some takers on this challenge...

Surely someone will accept the challenge...

We don't like limits, btw... =-]

I appreciate the Devs doing this, but Sunday to Tuesday?! Sorry, but I have a RL and a job. Can't be missing it to attend an event like this. If it was on the weekend, you better believe I'd be there.

Yeah, this issue is outrageous. Even if you remove the options from the chat window, this should NEVER appear on the screen itself...
