Apparently the 'intended' route which a particular class (Smuggler in this case) has to take for getting to a particular companion quest (corso in this case) passes from a ffa pvp zone. alternatives are guarded by level 50 imperial champion npcs.

while it is apparently possible for the player to run through the npc zone, get killed in the process, and rez again and continue its path, it is evident that the intended route for this quest passes from the ffa pvp zone.

that was probably intended as a means to 'encourage' world pvp.

............

i dont like world pvp. i dont want to pvp. if i wanted to pvp, i would roll on a pvp server. i havent rolled on a pvp server. i have rolled on a rp server.

therefore, i dont like being forced into pvp. and im telling this as a gamer who spent the last decade mainly doing pvp.

...............

players dont like being forced to other playstyles. and it is utterly, utterly stupid to force players to adhere to another group's playstyle and taste, in order to accommodate the other.

do NOT force players into playstyles they dont like.

I dunno.

I was following the map directions for a class quest on Hoth and it ran me straight into a Republic base without me even noticing.

I just popped some CD's and hauled butt through it.
...they'd never come to see me in this dive, where bikers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies, who are praying they'll get out of here alive...

i havent seen 'ffa' work in ANY game since ultima online anyway. aoc's ffa pvp flopped so grandly that they had to 'factionalize' servers before the second month was out.

uhh, all you have to do is make it through the zone, once. is it so hard? there is absolutely nobody there on my server ever. I routinely used the GTN in that zone instead of heading to the fleet while I was leveling on Tatooine and did not once see another player in it.

Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

I'm surprised RP-PVE even has FFA zones.

that is not a problem of being 'hard' or not.

that is an issue with the design philosophy.

forcing players to things out of their preferred style of gameplay, is not good.. if you dont express your displeasure with such stuff, it just exacerbates and carries over to updates, expansions and so on.

its not something good.

Let them get to it - nothing can be done right now.

I'm sure it's come up more than a few times in the office.

Voss: I need you to get sap from this tree. Watch out for the monsters guarding it!

Btw, you're gonna come across an impassable wall while trying to get to the tree so you'll have to loop all the way around into republic territory. Yea the threat of the quest isn't the stupid crab people....it's the pvp. LOL have fun!~
