I can see where the guy is coming from to a point, but the "OMG THERE BE FOLK HERE!" types are gonna be anti-social until they are made/shamed into fitting in....

You know it is impossible to "kill steal" in SWTOR right? As soon as you engage a mob, it becomes locked to you.

Comes with the territory I guess. With a larger influx of population, you get a larger influx of people who are bad at PvP. (For one reason or another) I'd gladly take that trade-off.

Actually, this problem predates MMOs. It is know as the "Tragedy of the Commons" in economics and philosophy. It is endemic to human behavior and is, in fact, quite natural, even if distasteful to observe.

Oh I realize that. It's just now every time I PvP and see the Team Death Match start or the 4 guys in 100 or less expertise the famous "Surrounded by A-holes"scene in Spaceballs pops into my head.

incorrect, as soon as you HIT a mob it becomes locked to you. I start off my combat with a 2-second cast ability. 1-second into the cast these new transfers come along and tag all the mobs with their instant casts then move along so when my attack lands <1 second later I get the aggro and they get the credit.

And for people saying this always happens in MMO's this is simply not true. Up until this point I have only eve had 1 person on my ignore list. I have NEVER experienced this before in this game. Maybe you guys are the problem?

Not really. I can recall several times I've had nodes swiped from underneath me in WoW while I fought the mobs guarding it. (Curse you night elf/tauren druids) I've had people snag mobs from me right before I tagged them, hell I've gotten mobs pulled ONTO me (joke was on them though, hunter with Feign Death for the win).

It is very clear they have not played with any real people in a long time, or they just suck as human beings. There needs to be some sort of transfer orientation to playing with others.

I even tried sending them whispers and inviting them to groups, they just cursed me out and tried to gather up all the objectives in the area to slow me down.

I've added more people to my ignore list in the last 48 hours then in the last 6 months. It is becoming abundantly clear to me that there was a VERY good reason their servers became ghost towns, who wants to play with delinquents like that?

Please Bioware, I had a great server with a great community, it has been totally ruined, send them back!
