Yes you are assuming motive. If you weren't then you wouldn't be bringing up the vendor in this conversation.

Motive has nothing to do with my point. Motive of who? The player or BW? Repeat for you and try to read slowly, Motive has nothing to do with my point.

Try to follow the simple logic and please stop trying to explain to me what I am trying to say.

Its rather ignorant on your part.

I am not trying to explain WHY players are exploding on people, I am saying that if any part of the event is on going, then leave all parts in the game, or get rid of it entirely.

What are you talking about? I'm just replying to the things you've been saying. You're the one who said that players with the plague shouldn't have motive anymore because the event is over, not me. So why are you asking me what you meant by what you said?

Really I have absolutely no clue what you are babbling about. You brought up motive...not me.

"You're the one who said that players with the plague shouldn't have motive anymore because the event is over, not me"

Never once said anything remotely close to what you quoted there.

So, if I don't like fighting elites, can I ask Bioware to remove them as well? Or, would you suggest I simply ignore them? (BTW, I LOVE fighting elites)

I kind of want to get a character sick with it and stay logged out for a month or so, and log in to get some people sick. Its like a real disease during flu season. You people need some imagination.
According to the feedback thread, the plague is supposedly contained:

That means it should be gone. Not lingering around for people to still catch like the flu.

Bioware needs to add a script to automatically cure anyone with the plague right when they log in. Like someone else mentioned, put the vaccine in the ventilation system.

Most of the infection is spread via WZs. It's hard to avoid not getting infected when you kill someone who exploded after you killed him, and since vaccines don't persist through death it'd be crazy to use them in a WZ.

For those of you arguing reality really don't understand how disease model works. If something as virulent as the Rakghoul exists in reality, it'd get contained very quickly simply because everyone who has the Rakghoul plague would be dead in about 20 minutes, so just go home and hide in there for a few hours. After that everyone who has the plague would've died already and then the plague would be over (assuming it requires a living host to spread). It's about to spread because the guys who supposedly die from it via exploding into a blob of green goo magically comes back to life to infect you again. In *reality* those guys who stay as a blob of green goo.

Basically we have four kinds of people:
1. People who like to spread the plague
2. People who don't like the plague
3. People who like to tell other people how they should feel about the plague (but say they don't care)
4. People who actually don't care (and they aren't posting. why not? because they don't care)

Group 1 is having all the fun, aren't they?

Look, another Rakghoul virus whining thread. Sweet. That was really missing in this forum.
Now please stop ruining BW´s first attempt to add actual fun to the game, will you?

just buy a vaccine and quit whining.

It will die off eventually
