Griefing when trying to do quests

Best advice I can give is switch around to different instances if you have issues trying to complete the PVP area quests. There always seems to be at least one where people are being courteous and waiting in line to complete the pylons.

If this was real world and I was an imp I would totally expect to get jumped by my own side. The imps aren't angels and have no problem backstabbing someone.

Thats FFA PvP for you. It always brings out the "quality" gamers.

Like I said, it's already biased in favor of PvP players. On a PvP server, no one can choose to unflag, but people can choose to flag on a PvE server despite how many of us playing on that server feel. I do blame BW for putting those quests in that area; but, ultimately, they aren't the ones pulling the trigger or throwing the lightsaber. At the very least, PvP people playing on a PvE server could show some discretion.
Did you completely ignore the rest of my post on purpose? Going back to my analogy it's like saying that I exist in cafeteria where there's food fights everyday.

Doesn't change the rest of my analogy. This is a PvP-allowed zone. Doesn't matter if you're on a PvP server or not. I'm on a PvP server, but I PvE mostly... am I doing it wrong? No.

You cannot blame the users. It's a waste of time. You can either decide not to go into those zones yourself because you choose not to participate in the PvP that's allowed in that zone or complain to BW to not create PvP allowed zones on a PvE server.

Simple as that.

It is really effecting my enjoyment of the game I have subscribed since the beginning and seriously considering my future in the game if this kind of thing continues. Keep quests for PVP quests for an Event to PVP servers not on a server chosen for PVE.
Apparently, Bioware didn't learn the last time when many players on PVE servers complained of being forced into pvp zones to complete the event back then.

Then they want feedback.

Or they listened to the PvPers who have been bitterly complaining for nearly a year about the complete lack of any open-world PvP.

I really don't understand people who think they have a *right* to go into an area that is clearly designated for PvP, to complete quests that are clearly marked for PvP, and not be attacked.

I have a few level 50s....my mains are a commando with very little PvP gear, and a sage that is nearly fully geared. Guess which one does the PvP dailies, and which one sticks to the PvE areas/quests?

It always seems to come back to us PvEers. WE can complain, or WE can skip them, or WE can just get killed. Why is it that PvPers never seem to think they have to give an inch on coexisting with the PvEers?

Because you're inside a PvP zone. That's like complaining on why you can't attack anyone else while in an Ops.

You need to stop blaming the PvP'ers who are PvP'ing in a PvP zone and start blaming BW or yourself. I understand your frustration, but you're taking it out on the wrong group.

Do we really need to compare the amount of content released for PvE vs PvP? All of the previous events were PvE grindfests and even this event has an operation boss that most PvPers won't do on HM. PvP gets one bone thrown to it and the PvE entitlement crowd goes bananas over something easily avoidable.
Who's not giving an inch here?
