You have people that DO NOT PVP EVER mixed with people that PVP ALL THE TIME.

You can not expect to kill people that did not want to PVP EVER to just be farmed as they came to do a World Boss not PVP.

If you want to PVP go to the freaking WZ or Ilum as that is what they are there for.

If you feel it is ok to gank people that never PVP then you are clueless to facts.

rofl, you're on a pvp server? get the hell out of here with that BS. If you rolled on a pvp server this is to be expected..its not griefing its pvp...you wouldnt have lasted very long if you played WAR..

I can understand the warning, i mean pvp on a pvp server? can it be anything other then harassment?
Again BW show how much they know and care about pvp

If you don't like to be attacked when you do your pve stuff why did you choose a pvp server?

I am on a PVE server not PVP but understand that if someone is doing a World Boss for gear this is like blocking the FP for them to access and get gear.

That would be called GREIFING and you get banned or punishment for it.

Thus when you see a group doing something for gear let them get the gear then attack them, but that would require a brain to bypass the problem.

These clowns complain because they are not bright enough to think ahead.

I am a veteran and attended real wars.

So what makes you such a expert on the subject?

Maybe you should read the rules of the game agreement again.

I can imagine how frustrating it would have been for the Rep's BUT that is what open world PvP is.

I play EvE online and there are huge expanses of the map that you can not get into...... and you dont even have a choice there.

I think BIOWARE should create an even more obvious warning prior to joining a PvP server.... adding things like 'you are likely to experience activity from the opposing faction that may be construde as greifing'.

That way, they can just refer people back to the warning.

This is the first time I have joined a PvP server (other than playing EvE) and I am saddened to see that there might be no PvP by the time I get to it

Regards

Yeah and open pvp is actually pretty mild on this game. These people wouldn't have lasted five seconds on one of DAOC's pvp servers, where anyone can attack anyone else literally anywhere in the game world. lulz

PVP servers are supposed to be hardcore not carebear.

I expect that sort of behavior and it's EXACTLY why I am on a PVP server I don't call that griefing in the slightest...it actually brings a smile to my face because now its on..but if that scenario is a level 50 geared player vs a level 25 and he has 2 other buddies camping the med center waiting for you to Rez so they can rinse repeat until you log off then THAT is griefing and to me really has no place in an MMO..PVP server or not.

This is hilarious. How could anyone possibly defend them getting in a warning for ganking? Pretty sure I read this somewhere "griefing does not constitute anything that can be resolved through pvp" in the rulebook. Rep should have been better and killed them and handled the boss. You guys wouldn't have lasted for two seconds on Valon Zek. Pathetic
