Stop forcing PVP on PVE servers

You might want to add actual information to your posts, rather than spitting unbacked disagreement on the forums. It's a fact, that there are 2 extra missions on the Event mission terminal, that if a PvE player doesn't want to go ahead and engage in PvP, there aren't 2 missions to replace those missions and the rewards that they grant. All a PvE player can do is look at the 2 missions leftover on the terminal and realize they're being left out of some of the Event. Unless there's some hidden thing to those quests that everyone's neglected to mention... it's exactly how I've said it is, and your disagreement is nothing more than predictable provocation of an argument where none exists.

That is their choice the event is meant to incorporate all styles of gameplay, it offers players the chance to pvp and get something out of it while having the majority of players still be able to do pve missions. My disagreement is that they are choosing to miss out on only two missions which they can do without. I doubt PvP players are complaining nearly as much that all of the missions are PvE oriented. They choose to miss out on content by not doing the missions which can be done without PvP'ing. It applies the same to PvP'ers missing out on content if they wish to not PvE.

The same argument is applied to both sides. It's a player choice to miss out on content.

Sorry, that argument will not do, it is a fallacy. People have repeatedly tried to use the argument that PvE additionals is the same as PvP additionals, and it's ludicrous that anyone has bought into an argument such as that. The game is, at its core, a PvE teamplay game, which is where the majority of development effort has gone, into storylines and class/planetary missions and cinematic sequences. If BioWare adds extra Operations to the game or adds an extra Event mission against some NPCs, they in no way become obligated to add a corresponding PvP feature.

Strict PvE-only players avoid PvP missions because they don't like it, they find it either stressful, lacking in fun-factor, or objectionable for obvious reasons. The same cannot be said of PvP players looking at PvE missions; if they don't want to go on the PvE missions, it's not because the PvE missions inherently bother them in some way, it's because they think the PvP missions are just more fun. Dedicated PvE players would ask for more guaranteed exclusion from being drawn into PvP, while the dedicated PvP players would ask for all PvE missions to be changed into PvP missions.

PvP is the "extra" feature; it requires a person to flag and make themselves vulnerable to human players attacking them at will, and BioWare wisely added the flagging system for PvE servers so that people can opt out of the mechanism of that and not walk around vulnerable to PvP gameplay. Given that there is already the flagging system just so that people can avoid vulnerability to being attacked, it should be understood that there should be even more guarantee of ability to avoid this scenario, by adding a more permanent and non-circumventable flagging-protection to the game. I think everyone understands that if there weren't the flagging system and thus all servers were PvP servers, that a very large portion of players would not play the game at all. Keep in mind that if PvP were removed from the game entirely, BioWare would still have a very large player base, and many of those players (and their parents) would in fact be happier with the game environment.

The point I've made is that for something as special and uniquely rewarding as a 2-week Event, corresponding PvE missions should be offered in place of the PvP missions, so that players who do not PvP as a rule are not left out of a portion of the Event. If a PvP player boldly stated that they steer very clear of all PvE missions, they would be laughed at since there's no inherent reason or particularly convincing motivation to do so. Since the Event mission rewards are special rewards, and not simply credits and +Exp, there should be a required balance of potential reward for PvE players since they have a right to expect to not be forced to go on PvP missions just to get the Event rewards. Briefly stated, if a person were to claim to object to PvE gameplay based on moral/ethical considerations, even though some people would become curious the reasons why, the person would lose credibility amongst a very large percentage of readers.

Consider PvE missions analogous to the Olympic sport of the discus throw, and PvP like the professional sport of boxing... and maybe it will help you understand better than to claim that PvE and PvP are mirror activities that have identical considerations from each side. Consider for a moment whether the sport of Boxing will ever be outlawed.

It seems many words have had their official meanings changed lately:

The new definition for "quitting" should be officially changed to "I'm not going to quit but instead I'll just *tell* people I'm going to quit and just keep posting anything I feel I want to whine about".

Another definition that needs changing is "misery", and how we somehow enjoy other peoples' misery. A homeless person or a drug addict, that's misery, and I doubt anyone enjoys it. Getting killed while in an open world FFA area is not misery at all, it's good times.

The last one has to be 'griefing'. Now, no matter what anyone does, if some person doesn't like it it's somehow 'griefing'. All I have to do is win a speeder race to a mineral node in front of someone and it's automatically griefing. Win a roll for the rare pet drop: grieifing. Scavenging materials from all the dead robots laying around: grieifing. I bought that item off the GTN when you wanted it: grieifing.

If you're gonna quit, then quit, nobody cares but you or what you have to say but yourself. So buh-bye and just don't post here again. Do what you say you're gonna do and just quit already.

Then why are you spending "The time that is your time" participating in a PvP zone when you have no interest in actually doing PvP?
Just seems mad that you'd spend your time doing something you don't enjoy - but then have a go at somebody in the same zone as you doing something they do enjoy - PvP.

Just wanted to throw in here...

So if a PvE server is strictly non PvP then why are there WZ's? Rated at that, which are usually for the extremely dedicated PvPers.

Someone stated that people are killing others for no reason... Here is my reason for wiping a line: I have better **** to do than stand in a line. Some of the lines I have seen the people will blow up before they even make it up to turn in. Everyone is flagged in this area and that means survival of the fittest. The Ancient Gree droid has a long respawn timer why wait and take your chances that someone else downs him and you have to wait even longer? If I have room in my party I will invite if it looks like someone is waiting for it. I play a game to have fun and actually play not stand there and stare at the back of someone's head for the duration of my gametime. I don't go around smoking everything that moves but I will remove a line or take on another guild for the FUN of it.

You only gain a little Rep from the PvP area, if the thought of having to do a little PvP turns you off enough you won't go in. Just like for the PvPers if they don't want to run around and grind the dailies nobody is forcing them to.... But then again they kinda are forced to arent they if they want the Grey Tokens for the Legacy weapons... So who should be complaining?
