Attacking republic in Open World is griefing?

2 weeks after release of the game, Diabolic on the Swiftsure took a 30 man ops group to Hoth and took over several of the bases there. We stuck around for a few hours, and killed dozens and dozens of pubes. Questing came to a stand still on that planet on the pube side, as we had about 10 people sticking around next to the fleet shuttle.

A few weeks later, the patch came out that made that base into a sanctuary and last I heard it was because of our little stunt that so many bases were made into Sanctuaries.

Never recieved a warning or punishment for this.

Recap of every OMG we are awesome at PVP story ever;

We took overwhelming numbers to this place.

We killed everything with no resistance

We griefed people who could not fight back due to the aforementioned overwhelming numbers for a while.

GOOD TIMES!

Honestly what happened to the OP was bs. I myself am more of a raid/carebear type in this game and even i think that ruling is crap.

PvP servers are there for a reason. Hell i rolled on one just so i would get in the habit of watching my back 24/7 as it added a new layer to the game. If the same thing happened to my raid group i would have just been like "tough luck gonna have to do this again later".

Players who have a problem with getting ganked as a lowbie or perhaps not being able to kill a mob when they like have no business on a PvP server.

And to that end Bioware has no business interfering with a PvP group raiding a PvE group on a PvP server. The people who rolled on a PvP server knew what they were signing up for. Combat anytime, anywhere no matter what your level may be etc.

@OP: Wow, that's incredibly dumb that you all got warnings. My guild has had this happen when we went after other world bosses so we chased the imps back to their base, killed the guards, and camped them until they were forced to take the taxi to get out. We actually had more fun responding to Imps than we did killing the boss. Never did I once think that reporting them was the thing to do. Afterall, the message you get when joining a PvP server is that "actions that can be resolved through PvP will not be considered harassment." Interference by the opposing faction while attempting world bosses is just part of the territory when you roll on a PvP server, as is same faction groups trying to race you to the kill.

I have seen these warnings on my server. You why this is happening because carebears have made open world pvp a joke even on pvp servers.

Open world PvP is has and will always be a joke. Its a numbers game no more no less.

On any other game forum the mods would have at least had the audacity to comment on a situation, true or false.

The fact that BW hasn't responded means that it probably happened, and they are embarassed to post here because they are in the wrong.

Actually it does help his argument. On a PvP server the "winner" of a PvP doesnt have to leave the area. The loser doesnt get a complimentary prize of free run at the area.

The losers of the PvP fight leave and dont come back.. Or suffer the possibility of more deaths.

Period. That is no argument, that is the purpose of a PvP server.

What a bunch of no-lifers... I could understand repeatedly camping if they wanted to kill the boss... but lol.. just doing it for the hell of it.. if you don't have anything better to do in game then just log off and play another game and get some fresh air.

In WoW, when this happened, people went to the capital cities and called for help.

"Barrens overrun by Alliance 60s, need help!"

And what happened? People came to help, and drove the alliance out. And that was fun as hell.

That is open world PvP. Zerging something is a challenge to the opposite side.

But all anyone in this game can do is cry about being preyed upon. Pathetic.
