Damn carebears on pvp servers, maybe u said some naughty words to those pubs as I can't imagine being warned over fighting over a world boss lol but @op I'm jealous u had alotta fun @carebears so he and few others were tagging the boss it's not griefing, why should they be allowed to get the phat lootz for free at all. if 1 or 2 players can deny a whole group of a world boss then that pub group just sucks, they could have called more backup but ofc they only want the loot for themselves

If you were tagging the boss, even though you knew you'd lose, just so they would have to reset it, you were griefing. Real pvp at a world boss means killing them while they try to kill the boss. Douchebaggery and griefing is when you know you can't so you exploit mechanics to stop them. That's when you get a warning.
My, how civilized.

There is many way to dick the other sides at the Belsavis world boss:

- Jump their tank.
- Jump their healers.
- Tag the boss.
- Kill the adds to force the boss enrange ...etc...

I wouldn't call any of them PvPing, and no, I don't care much for how you want to call or justify it as PvPing. I tell you what I think, I think you self-appointed "true" PvPers are the same one who:

- Trade kill on illum.
- Camp lowbie zone.
- Sneak attacking someone who is at 10% health fighting elites.

Yes, I guess you can call be me a carebear, and this carebear does:

- Attack all enemies questing in the same area.
- Attack whoever he runs into in daily.
- Wait for his enemy to killed enaged mobs before attack.
- Kill those who try to gank him.
- Spend 2 hours each on 3 toons Group pvping inside the Crezka cave on Hoth.
- Wasted ungodly amount of time PvPing in front of the Voss Healing Shrine.
- Only join Illum's hunt group, I refuse to be part of the Trade Group.


Before you say anything, stop, I don't care what you call yourself or what you want to call me. There are PvPers like me and there are PvPers like you. Bottom like is look like the Developers take my side, so more power to me and suck to be you. Don't like it? Leave. In fact I can show you the way out.

I find it a little hard to believe that this happened. Do you have a screen shot?

I've never even heard of a game where this kind of behavior would cause players to be sanctioned or warned on a PvP server. There's a PvP solution to the problem, and if they aren't happy about, it ..... Well, that's what PvE servers are there for.

It happened in the FF MMO......guilds were "hoarding" certain loot points/bosses and denying other players access, resulted in massive banhammering....

Sounds like you guys tried to start a grand battle on a pvp server. Which if I'm correct in my understanding is what is supposed to happen on pvp servers yes? All out war, imps fighting pubs....griefing...i don't see the griefing here. I rolled on a pve server because I like to sometimes quest in peace. pvp alot in war zones. Maybe those republics should have done the same. I would expect to be attacked on a pvp server....nono wait...I would WANT to be attacked, that is the entire point!!! Blah....sorry to here about the warnings.

I suppose whether I'd be mad or not would depend on how the mods handled it. If one came in and said, hey guys, enough, you won. Good job, but let the poor saps kill their boss now, I wouldn't be annoyed, but if they came in all nasty about it, I'd be like, is this a pvp server or isn't it?

Smart move by BioWare, dont catered to the minority of "hardcore" pvpers who would also say spawn camping ilum is fine prepatch.

Completely opposite to game rules? Honestly, where do you people come from?!


Go to server selection screen and read the tooltip, I just quoted from there.

Isn't there like a warning when you choose to play in a pvp server that it is player vs player?

Also I remember reading somewhere that "it's not greifing if a situation is resolved through pvp"
