But those guys... were probably bored so they camped you, dick move yes but please remember what server you play on.
I'll say it for you, what they did is right. It's right as can be and it's encouraged. Lets not sugar coat it, the OP rolled on an Open PvP server and then came here and complained he got killed by another player. The only part that is wrong is the OP coming here complaining about something that's normal on the server he rolled on.

after all, is there's no emotion, what's the point

I dont know what it matters which level someone is or how many attackers there is. On PvP server you can attack on people of opposite faction as supposed to no matter what level they are and 10 50s can grief 2 30s 5 hours straight without anything worng about it, there is an PvP solution for those 2x30s after all like all game companies states on griefing/pvp issues. If you kill someone, you shouldnt get penalized for it, if you die , you shouldnt get buffed or awarded by it.

I say we Dub Tat the tarren Mill of SWTOR and free for all.

The lack of gankage is my main complaint so far on a PvP server. i.e. they feel like PvE servers.
I feel that they really went out of there way to keep the two factions seperated on most planets. It really is a dissapointment when you roll on a PvP server and probably have less than ten fights by the time you reach level 43. I'm looking forward to rolling Republic...maybe I can see some more action.

To avoid getting griefed, you need to have an alt ready to switch to. No sense giving them fun when you can just switch planets.

Funny, because I kill Imperial NPCs all the time on the PvE server I am on. It doesn't take the "2 factions at war feeling" away at all. The only thing it takes away is having some other player decide what I want to do at a given time.

If that works for you, fine. But please don't get sanctimonious about styles of play that don't happen to include you inserting yourself into someone else's game play.

OP...How does the opposite faction tell you "you suck"??? I didnt think we could talk between factions. Did I miss the chance to tell some one "GF"?? I know the e-motes work some one killed me and then blew me a kiss hahaha. Gotta love PvP. Don't get annoyed get even. If you explore the whole planet you will find there starting places. You can get pretty close. Then you get the "Nerf codex" hahaha, got that in the rep base on Alderain.

PVP servers are definently fun for this. Me and my duo partner wnet out to go get the Datacron from the blimp at Tatooine. When we got there, a level 28 was fighting a level 32 - and he won, oddly! He warned us that there was a PVP Empire there, and so we did the logical thing - we teamed up.

Slowly with time, our little 3-man team became an 8-man operations group, all going for the Datacron. The guy that kept trying to stealth kill the 3 of us at first (He was stealthing, waiting to grief us, but we would catch site of him, AoE him, and murder him) wound up giving up and warping.

After about 20 minutes of waiting for the baloon we needed to get to the datacron to come, we finally were able to see it coming closer - and on the Horizon, a level 50 sith and 2 friends coming along with him. On-levels, but was a bit of a surprise.

Let me be honest with you, we were not a coordinated, masterful, expert group by any standards. I had my doubts that I could heal everyone, or that the team we had would work together enough to pull it off. The numbers were stacked in our favor, but our highest level was 1 44 - meaning this level 50 had a clear advantage.

When they came and attacked, one person's HP dropped by 50% in one casted strike. It was a rather painful thing to recover from, but we healed through it - and you know what was funny? With all of us swarming that 50, we beat him down to 50% HP rather fast.

He proceeded to run to recover, leaving his friends behind. At which point we slaughtered them all. We held our ground, fighting the 50, and got on the baloon in the end.

The greatest part of it was that in the end, he tried to run to the edge where we had jumped form to escape - tried to cast a spell on us in a last-ditch effort of 'I can still kill ONE of you!'... And I proceeded to ranged-interrupt his face. Nothing quite as epic as that. XD

Moral of the story: You need to PVP on a PVP server to survive. There's power in numbers, and while I'm sorry to hear that 50's were curbstomping you, you really should rally some friends / randoms together to fight back. It's all you CAN do. Otherwise, you just have to give up, or go to a different shard if you're able to.

I'm a PvE player and yet even i know this, roll on a PvP server and you roll with the punchs.

Don't want to bash the guy, but coming to forums and complaining about it won't help, on a PvP server it's to be expected, or better yet as the quoted post said "it's encouraged".

My advice to the OP is: a PvE server might be more your thing, where you can PvP when you want, it isn't forced.

But keep in mind it loses some of it's magic, such as living on the edge never knowing when you'll be attacked.

Seriously though, i don't see the problem, like i said in previous post the only part i disagreed with was the "you suck" they spammed you with, because you were one lv 30 guy vs a group of 50s.

But as i also said, it's going to happen on a PvP server, roll with it or change to PvE with warzones/illum. You'll only get rocks thrown at you *insert sage here* for even complaining about it on forums tbh.
