The Rakghoul Plague Outbreak Event - Best Ending ever!

This was the most unseemly part of it for me. Forcing someone to be flagged for PvP on a PvE server is bad and against the terms of service.

But only PvPing when you have the clear number advantage is cowardly. For a while, I stayed near the vendor and picked off lvl 50s that left the larger group. Always lvl 50s and always by myself.

show me where your own faction npc's attack you other then this.

so bw saying "This is an expliot, don't do it" would make more people do it ? yeah right.

Force storm and other player abilities used to be able to force PvP... that was a glitch... they admitted that and fixed it...
They wouldnt go out and say that this was a glitch since it was all going to last just a week anyway, no need fixing it and definately no need drawing more attention to it.

And the plague only flags you if you get infected by another player that is already flagged (exactly how it used to work with AOE abilities like force storm, but that was aknowledged as a glitch and fixed).
Youre wrong and you know it but your dislike for people playing on PvE servers seem to be so strong that you cannot face the truth.

Point being that PvP on PvE servers are VOLUNTARY... and being forced into PvP is not VOLUNTARY...

youre either being extremely dense or youre just ignoring what everyone is saying because "its cool to gank carebares"

It is you who is sticking head under sand. The terms of service of a server are the law of the server. The law stands above any events or their interpretations. If the terms of service say PvP is only possible after a mutual agreement, and you find a way to PvP without mutual agreement, your actions break the terms of service, period. Any form of rationalizing like "this is a pvp event" or "if it was exploit they would have told me" and the like is irrelevant. You attack the other player without his consent on a PvE server = you are using an exploit.

See, Force Storm (and other AOE attacks) DID do this for a while until they fixed the bug. They did not announce it was a bug until after they fixed it. And no, the smart money is not on you. The dumb money isn't even on you. You are the only one who agrees with you.

The event was clearly meant to encourage world PvP, but it was clearly not meant to force PvE players on a PvE server to PvP against their will because that goes against the entire concept of a PvE server. A concept you are either unwilling or unable to grasp.

Right, ive added you to my ignore list... congratulations, you are the first one there...

This happens numerous times at various points in the story. NPCs attacking you is PvE. Players attacking you is PvP. Why is this difficult to understand?

Yes. This is why the bank doesn't tell you how to open their vault and steal all the money inside.

I still have problems on fleet when they stack. Whether or not this is true I have no way to know because for me on fleet if they stack in the big speeders I can't select the vendor. Even people on our side would say they needed people to move so I'm having a hard time believing this to be the case.

If they stood there and let themselves be infected, no problem. If the other player chased them down to infect/flag them then you have a point. Given the timing to explode, how could this become a reliable thing. It took 20-30min of waiting to explode if not attacked, how were they relaibly flagging people ?


Because you can attack, not being able to attack would be a glitch.

Disagree.
maybe /shrug or maybe not.
