What do you expect to happen when you're flagged inside of a pvp area?
Do you expect the enemy to be walking around handing out lollipops and giving unicorn rides and free hugs?
I'm really curious as to your logic about the people that are attacking other people IN A PVP AREA.

I'm sorry, I just flat out disagree. It's a PvE server yes, but these areas give you plenty of warning before someone is able to attack you. And these areas are so few and far between it honestly shouldn't even be a concern. I personally like it because its optional. It isn't like being stalked all the time. You can avoid the areas and miss almost nothing content wise. BW should do nothing. This is a perfectly fine system. Stay the hell out of the PvP areas and you will be fine.

Not gonna lie, you guys. The tears of self absorbed, entitled and whiny PVE players too stupid or too stubborn to avoid the one small free for all zone is totally my favorite part of the Gree Event.

What about people that are just starting the event? I personally don't have the rep to get the ticket. Which in order to get the cool gree stuff; (not the armor the other stuff.) takes the helix components which for a low rep person like me is only one per day. Now the speeder is the most expensive and I still can't get any of the cheaper stuff. I at the first time this event came up didn't have a toon anywhere near the level so I had to sit out. So in order to even get to the friends of the gree rep I would have to do the dailies like a mad man for a few days. Then after I get to that point I would have to run the missions that drop the helix things to try to get the stuff. And I only have one toon that can do this event so there is no way in hell I can get the stuff I want for all my guys. Now the pvp stuff I know I could just not do it and what not; but I want to get as much rep as I can so I have to go in the pvp area. So when I had to go through the pvp I was hoping that I could just do my stuff and leave unless someone asked for help and what not. After awhile and more then five times of trying to get this done and being killed by the same person every time. So in the end I say a few things; 1 make the pvp some type of pvp that is a hutt ball thing and off to the side away from people that don't like pvp. the second would be make it so anyone can do this event not just 45+. and last get ride of the bull crap stat that makes you do more better in pvp; I am not that a big fan of pvp because almost any game that is pvp there is some; weapon tool or some crap that gives the player edge.

No!
You are not forced to go in there.
You CHOOSE to go in there. Period.
And because you got killed.. .(again by chioce), you want this changed.
I'm sorry, but life isn't all puppydogs and rainbows like your mommy made you think it was growing up.
There are consequences, you made a choice, didn't like the consequences, and you want it changed?
Don't go in there if you don't like the possible outcome.

OP's QQing notwithstanding, if you are serious, this is a load of hogwash.

Yeah I know I don't have to go in there I said that. I am saying it's unfair that people that enjoy BOTH pvp and pve get to run the hell out of pvp to getting "God gear." This 45+ event only being for people that have just killed themself by playing this game every hour of the day to get max level and all the end gear stuff. Now it isn't a big deal to me that I got killed; bo ho I could very well run pvp get the good gear and it wouldn't happen as much. Do I want to waste time doing that? No I want to level the rest of my guys and have cool looking stuff while I do it. Now is it really fair to secure others from doing a event or mission because one of the missions have to do with a pvp area? This pvp stuff isn't needed for the event. Maybe even just add two more missions for pve people so they don't have to worry about the pvp.

Why add two more missions? Why can't the PvP missions be bonus rep. Why do you figure you deserve as much as you would get from all the missions if they pulled be PvP quests?

And what is this crap about people playing every hour of the day? You just sound ignorant now. Stop running around fleet and be constructive. I play a few hours a night maybe 2-3 hours a week and I have end game gear on two toons and a decent set of pvp on a 3rd. Get in a guild that does things. Stop playing with yourself. Your mom wouldn't approve.

I say add two more missions and maybe make it so you can't do the pvp ones if you have the two others because people that love pvp get to do all the missions with out having to worry about running through a pvp area and feeling paranoid because they don't want to bother fight another player. The biggest thing I am trying to get at is to make it so everyone can have fair game without having to bother with ******es that just want to camp a spot and murder anyone that comes near it.
