Concern for 1.7

The bottom line is that many of us rolled our characters on a PVE server due to the fact that we do not care anything for PVP. Putting PVE content in a PVP zone isn't making new content for PVPers, it is turning PVEers into the content for PVPers. If they are going to do that, they should outright call it PVP content or event and tell the PVEers just to walk-off.

No. You're 100% wrong on the highlighted part. You SHOULD be required to PvP for ANY PvP reward. It's that simple. Just because you PvE only, doesn't mean you're entitled to skip 1/4 of the game. PvP exclusives are perfectly fine. There are tons of activity specific exclusives as it is.

I don't do space...should I be given all the space rewards? I want the orange pilot gear, but I refuse to do space. If you want a PvP reward, PvP for it - fluff items, vanity items, pets, vehicles...ALL are fair game to be PvP exclusives.

Wanting something =/= deserving something.

Seeing as how they announced an event in a PvP area on a PvP planet I don't even see how you could think it was PvE content.

• Adventure with other Level 50 players or journey alone to assist the Gree in their continual pursuit of information. Those who are brave enough to help the Gree will be rewarded for their service.

NEW RECURRING EVENT: RELICS OF THE GREE

• Explore Ilum's contested area in the Western Ice Shelf to uncover the mysterious purpose of the Gray Secant, an enormous ancient Gree starship.
• Get ready to face a powerful opponent that awaits you at the center of this ancient vessel.
• Earn exclusive Gree technology, including highly-advanced weapon and armor!
• Look for opportunities to join this recurring event throughout the rest of the year. More details to come!

All of that except the part in red sounds exactly like PVE content. Or is the "powerful opponent that awaits you at the center of this ancient vessel" a highly-rated PVP team?

I did, in fact, state just exactly that. You should PVP for PVP rewards... not to meet PVE objectives. Not sure if they will have us do that, but I certainly hope not. Try paying attention to what people type before you rant.

Game Update 1.7: Return of the Gree is coming soon to The Old Republic™, allowing players to experience brand new in-game content, including a limited time event and an exciting new way to progress your character.

•Explore the Planet Ilum to unveil a new Event, Relics of the Gree! A mysterious ancient Gree starship called “the Gray Secant” has appeared over Ilum’s Western Ice Shelf. Those who are brave enough will get the chance to help the Gree and face off against a powerful foe waiting in the heart of the Gree vessel. Republic and Imperial forces that finish this mission will earn exclusive Gree technology, including highly advanced weapon and armor appearances!

•Advance your character with the new Galactic Reputation system! The Galactic Reputation system lets you earn Reputation points by completing missions for factions such as the Gree or the Voss, or for military divisions within the Republic and the Empire. This new system advances characters through six ranks of increasing prestige: “Outsider”, "Newcomer", "Friend", "Hero", "Champion", and "Legend". Galactic Reputation is also tied to a character’s Legacy, so Reputation points and ranks are shared across all the characters within the same Legacy!
