The Rakghoul Plague Outbreak Event - Best Ending ever!

Yeah and those vaccines were both purchasable, and obtainable from quests, I ended up stockpiling mine (had like 10) but hardly used mine as I wanted to explode more.

Albeit I was on a PvP server, so I'm not sure as to how the flagged mechanics would work on a PvE one, aside for mechanics used in the WZs.

Many people had no idea that they could be flagged simply by being near someone exploding from the plague. I don't know why it is up to them to be aware of that glitch rather than being up to the people on the other side not to exploit it.

I don't think it is reasonable to blame a player on a PVE server for expecting they would have to flag themselves for PVP. That's sort of the whole point of a PVE server.

Although there was a thread about this bug on the forum, many people did not know about it until tonight when the Imps were exploiting it. And when players are going to opposing faction bases and involuntarily flagging people who taxi in, as someone admitted to earlier in this thread, that clearly violates the TOS on a PvE server. Exploiting a bug to force someone to PvP on a PvE server is against the rules.

To be clear, the availability of the vaccine wasn't the issue. The issue was that people were unaware of the necessity of using the vaccine in order to prevent becoming PVP flagged.

On my server the imps tried to camp it. The pubs got 20 people from our local pvp guild. We slaughtered them . They came back once, we killed them again, then we left(we didn't counter camp the vendor).

The reason we did not counter camp the vendor is because its boring and a waste of time. I really never understood the people who get thrills out of griefing. It is not fun for either side. Its like playing a console game with god mode on. Or playing chess by yourself. You always know who the winner is and what the outcome will be. How is that fun? I'd rather watch grass grow. Atleast I don't know what direction the blades will sprout.

Is it fun to watch your favorite sport team when one of the teams is getting slaughtered? no not really. Its a much funner watch if the game is tight and close. Even if your team looses they played a great game.

The people camping the vendor are the same type of people that run bots on call of duty and battlefield that think they are awesome when they are on top of the leader board while using mods. The people that like to do this are unfortunately children. These people also are highly likely to have sith characters because they are "cooler"

And for those wondering...
We have a 3/1 imp/pub ratio. But the imps on our server suck so it takes like 8 of us to kill 12 of them. So it balances in that way alone. We win 2/3rds of our pvp war zones.

so you griefed a team doing a world boss fight? you are soooo cool!

Ah so it was sort of a matter of timing then.

Elitism like that is kinda counter-intuitive to your argument. With that being said, I know at least on our server, the camping was proactive as it would entail disease obtaining and exploding as per the goal of getting DNA samples.

From my experiances over the week, on my server the magority of both sides were happy to hold a truce. On the Empirial side there were a few low level twits running around greifing, but the magority of the poo was dished out by Republic level 50s more interested in ganking people than the event.

Anybdy who abuses game mechanics to unwillingly flag people for PVP on a PVE server deserves to have their account hacked, guild bank looted, forum posting revoked due to foul language and chars deleted.

That is all!

I have no sympathy for people who flag themselves for PvP on a PvE server and then run around on a world where there are tons of players from both factions and expect not to get ganked. I was flagged myself for much of the night and had fun engaging in world PvP. But on a PvE server, you have to voluntarily flag for PvP. That is the whole point of a PvE server. People who exploit a bug to force others to PvP when they don't want to are violating the terms of service on a PvE server. When they try to deny those same players access to a vendor, that is clearly not allowed.
