People that gank lowbies are just lamers...period. Maybe daddy didnt care or maybe they got beat up in real life who knows.

No reason these same people can not go to the Black Hole area and fight actual 50s. Its just to get their rocks off... nothing more. I would actually feel bad for it. There is no challenge and no skill... Its the only way lamers can win a fight.

I had it done to me when I lvled my toon and it was annoying... I have had several opportunities to return the favor after I got a couple toons to 50 but I am not that lame... I like picking on people my own size ;-)

The same ones ganking are the same ones I ROFL stomp in WZs... there is a reason for that.

That being said: You are still on a PVP server... While I do not condone or justify this stuff it is a possibility when playing on a PVP server.

In hopes to fix this problem i am including 2 photos of the 2 players that were attacking us please this is a huge issue and should be fixed.
Working as intended. You made a mistake and rolled on the wrong type of server for your playstyle. A PvE Server would suit you better.

Shouldn't that kind of thing be fun? You'll hit max level anyway soon enough and then it'll be over. In the meantime, let high levels on your faction know what's up, surely there's bored people on a big PVP server that want to join in. Hell I'd love to actually get attacked by someone while I was leveling up an alt. Happens so rarely in this game.

You can probably even join in and help. If you feel like you can't, then queue up for WZs a few times while they duke it out.

I read this as: "my server died and I re-rolled to a popular FOTM server which happens to be PVP because it had the highest population, Its just to bad I had to actually engage in the PVP portion of it."

Re-roll or get help. Reading these posts makes me wish I DID roll on a PVP server, but I didnt because I was concerned with scenerios like that above at first and now I regret it because its perfectly manageable. Especially since only half of the galaxy seems to be open zones anyways.

With that said...

2) there should be some boundaries set by BW, this becomes their responsibility by design in a pvp server. -placement of guard droids so enemy factions cannot get into/camp certain areas for example.

I will say I do not think enemy factions should be able to do what they are capable of doing, such as getting into space ports / standing right next to med droids (Ilum fiasco awhile back as an example of what BW should consider over the line, in which they then adjusted game mechanics to prevent that situation from happening)

But...

Given the nature of a pvp server If people want to be asses then they will be asses, BW should not tell people what they can/can't do but rather just prevent it outright if they deem something beyond intended scope of the game. Party on dudes

I agree that being on a PVP server means you should expect PVP whenever and where ever it can happen.

However that does not by default mean we should expect to have cloakers in our bases.

A cloaker should not be allowed past the gards wihtout being detected or past the gun emplacements. That is what they are there for.

They just need to put level 50 champions on all faction bases, that support open world PVP, and be able to to have high stealth detection. I have have to say, while your on a PVP server, this is going to happen. Some Fresh level 50s like to take it upon themselves to gank lowbies just for fun. Maybe out of frustration that War heroes and higher kick their *** in War Zones. IDK, but its lame, level 50s come pick on us level 50 pubs and leave our lowbies alone !

that said, if this was more 'balanced' I would not see a problem with it, but of course no one, under geared and 10 or more levels lower than a level 50, is ever going to stand much of a chance at winning against a level 50 ganking them. I have to ask ? why are you doing it ? it can't be for a challenge, you know your going to beat them all the time, so ok ! its 'for fun' ok, 'so' would it be fun, for some guys to do it to one of your lowbie Alts that you have in your legacy ? is that fun too ?

I just hope you really get the enjoyment, out of stopping people play their PVE story nodes, as I get when I kill a fresh 50 in Warzones.

Just my two cents.

Why does every base in the game need a one shot turret to protect questing on a pvp server? This is hand holding pve rubbish that you dont get on a pvp server. The game is already carebear enough. We dont need more carebear so one lvl 40 can do one quest and make world pvp less exciting.
I completely agree. Having less limitations in how the game can be played makes for more fun open world pvp. The maps and areas are already constructed for pve use with almost zero encounters. It is a total failure imo., and I hope they make future planets more about crossing paths with the opposing faction. On a pve server it will not matter anyway, but it will make a huge difference to pvp servers, so why not?

Oh look!it's the " pro" ganker!"world pvp 99.9% of the time is ganking,who ever believes otherwise is delusional and rather likes the feel of "pro" about killing a lower lvl,unprepared oblivious player(really competitive scenario lol)
