Now, if it were a fair fight, I would say bring it on! If you are on a pvp server, expect to be frequently jumped. But what the OP describes does not sound like it would be in the spirit of a real pvp'er. It just sounds like bad players who are too scared to engage someone of their own level.

If the player jumping the OP were his level or there about I think that's different.

This sounds like really unimaginative griefing.

Fully expecting to be ganked by toons twice my level over and over and over just does not sound in any way fun to me.

Theres also a little warning when you select a pvp server telling you shi*'s gonna happen and bioware doesn't care .

Makes you watch your back, makes you aware, and it creates opportunities for conflict on worlds...

Ever see a group of level 30's stomp a 50.... I have and it was fun.

I believe in a challenge when it comes to PVP - ganking low levels is not a challenge and I've never understood the mentality of someone who purposely travels to lower level areas only to grief other people.

The normal response to this type of activity is to rally your guildmates or others in the zone to smack the dudes down. QQ on the forums rarely achieves the revenge one desires.

BTW, good to hear that OPvP is happening in places other than Ilum.
Now THIS is the thing to do. Get your bruddahs and sistahs to come and make those imps cry. xD

I think this is worth repeating. If you decide to roll on a PVP server, get plugged in to a good guild and make friends. Otherwise, you're gonna get chewed up and spit out a lot. xD

I'm sorta tempted to roll on a pvp server now that I think about it >.>

I bet it was!! That is something I would love to see. lol

And situational awareness is something I imagine one would need to develop if one were to have any kind of edge. Most pve'ers are pretty much in their own little worlds hehe

Completely understand, but the bottom line is there is no being nice when people roll on PvP servers. Honestly I think if you roll on a PvP server then come here and complain about getting killed by another player your PvP server should be flagged and you should have to wear the "I'm a pansy" title as well as your character being turned from your current race into a pink care bear.

Everyone knows what they get when they sign up on a PvP server.

This is why most avoid PvP servers. The concept of PvP servers is much better then the actual outcome when you roll on one.

So do tell, why did you roll on a PvP server?

That's what I love about PvP servers, and why I love Tatooine so much because it's the STV of TOR. I love the added sense of danger when I'm playing and how people band together in general chat and look out for each other.

Brings me back to the good old Noob Safaris in STV.

I've been jumped maybe 3 times without realizing it in 1.5 months since the game was released. The random encounters and battles during questing are usually a fun mix up. And I've only had one experience where an Imp hovered over me and kept killing me over and over. It was 4am so I just logged and the next day they were gone.

Out in the world in a faction based game this just makes sense to me. PvE makes zero sense to me in a faction based game.

If the OP was talking about a group of 50's heading down to Tython and griefing people just starting that would be a little different. Out in the zones where you are 20+, it's fair game.
