Summary: PvE stuff inside of PvP areas

The recruit gear won't keep pvp newbs alive.

In my opinion yes, as timed events meant that people knew when to show up. RO and WoW handled it in 2 different methods though.

RO War of Emperium - An event a few times per week during which guilds could claim keeps in a FFA style PvP, the game had no factions so faction vs faction wasn't an option. Owners of the keep gained access to additional dungeons. Due to that, guilds and alliances were very much into defending their keeps, whilst on the other hand they were highly desired. This caused for massive battles every single time.

WoW Wintergrasp - A faction vs faction event occuring roughly every 2 hours on a dedicated map which included the use of siege weaponry. Owners of the map would in between have access to some additional mobs on the map which were good for crafting purposes. Furthermore, the currently owning faction gained access to a PvE raid as well as enabled the drop of additional PvP specific tokens from PvE raid bosses.

In both cases the entire ordeal is surrounded by non-PvP rewards, in the form of guild keeps and guild dun for RO as well as mob and raid access in WoW.

Those factors however kept it a reason for players to keep fighting over the areas for, in particular the players who like both PvP as well as PvE. Whilst those who only like PvE, get to reap the benefits as outside of the PvP event times it was safe in RO, and pretty calm in WoW.



Additionally I prefer these systems much more than e.g. WAR and GW2 styled PvP where things are nothing more than mindless empty castle zerges. Going by empty keep one at a time, trying to avoid all combat whilst running around in massive packs just to get some tokens and gold.

I have a fairly recent 50 (post Cartel Market) - it worked for me quite well.

Counter Arguement, everyone 50 (Who isn't F2P, which applies to both) Has access to free Tioneese Gear.

Not sure if you're intentionally trying to piss an entire player base off or if you're simply this egoistic and narrow minded.

Go back fighting the creatures rolling over, acting exactly the same each and every time. This beast isn't going to swallow that amount of ******** though.

Furthermore, are you really telling us that we have to be happy with the way we look and only PvE'rs can customise gear, because thats basically where your argument would end up, but why not. PvP'ers couldnt possibly care about looks right! (Sigh.)

Last I checked there was fluff items (pets, mounts, orange gear) that can only be acquired in PVE, as well as fluff items that could only be acquired in PVP. Should all of these be moved to a vendor on the fleet so that everyone can get everything just because some players don't want to do the requisite content?

I don't particularly care for pets so I might be wrong but aren't there two different pets that you can only get from PVP and a pretty high price (in terms of comms) and valor level?

Not that I'm saying they should be available to PVErs too, I'm all for unique rewards.

Although, most pets come from the cartel packs these days, so they are neither PVP or PVE related seeing as you can't buy packs without cartel coins that are totally separate from either aspect of the game.

It won't work in an area where pvpers are camping pve players in newb recruit pvp gear trying to get objectives completed. It will be a slaughterhouse.

Lol is not a PvE content. Is in a PvP area = PvP content.

Do you need it for operation? No, so is not PvE content.

Counter argument?! I was stating a fact...just as you are. I accept your statement as fact as well. I mentioned the gear to counter the "pveers dont even have gear" argument.
