Then learn how to fight back! Jesus, fair?! C'mon. You need to play Candy Crush Saga man. This is an MMO they all have quests they all have pvp and they all have pvp quests.

Unfortunately, is the idiotic people that dismiss being told that they're being idiotic and continue to spread their brand of idiocy and call everyone else an idiot.

Your statement is incorrect. PvP players play for the PvP.

Although, there are varying degrees of PvP players. I am aware that there are some people that don't mind PvP occasionally. Then there are those who practically live in the PvP areas and feed off the bones of the weak (usually lower level, under-geared players). I will be kind and say that most of the players in the game fall in between those two positions.

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.
Dude... the point in the Gree Event was to revamp Ilum OW PvP. That was one of the things they listed specifically when they talked about the Gree event. Now if it did that in a good way? That's up for discussion. But don't sit here and say there was no PvP premise to the Gree Event.

I won't be doing it; and nor did I say I was going to bother with the pvp. Now do I want others that hate people that live to be ******es to have a good time in events? yes I really do. people are always going to be ******es and just about nothing can stop that. Can people prevent that ******e crap? Yes they really can and it really wouldn't be that hard.

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.
lol... are you serious? There's like 7 PvE missions to PvPs 2. If you want to make it even based, make 7 PvP missions and 7 PvE ones. You are being biased. Just stop.

Alright well I shall just end it with this; I say they should do a new event that every player that is sub'd can do. Also this event should split the pvp and the pve make one big area a pve and another pve then no pve player would have to worry about going through to get that extra rep.

I completely disagree with the premise of the original post.

You are not required to take what are explicitly labelled as "PVP Missions" to advance your reputation or to attain the component pieces.

If you do not wish to be attacked, stay out of those areas where you are explicitly warned are PVP and don't take missions explicitly as labelled as PVP Missions.

Have you considered that even on an RP or PVE server players will sometimes want to engage in cross or intra-faction combat? How that might fit in with RP under certain circumstances?

I personally have never attacked another player unless in defense but that is my preference. I'm not going to whine about the few (rare) times I've been killed when lollygagging about in a dangerous area alone without an escort. And you are right, it is completely possible to complete the PVP Missions independently. Just be smart about it and cautious and don't whine if you are killed.

I guess I don't get all the QQing. The quests are clearly labelled PVP and they're optional. If you're not a fan of PVP then don't do them.

I was out there yesterday morning on my server and took 4 of my 50+'s thru. I had fun doing them even though I'm not a PVPer. Don't like it but I found it a bit thrilling. I knew I was going to be ganked a lot and I did. I understood the ramifications for heading out there & getting flagged for PVP to do those quests. At first I would just stand there like what the heck then after a while I was just laughing about it, rez back a the med center and head right back out there.

It's nice to do something outside of your comfort zone every now and then and hey maybe you'll like it! It being doing something different/ out of your comfort zone or *gasp* PVPing.

Open your mind, have fun with it and remember it's just pixels on the screen.

This is an MMO. You're not playing a single-player game. There are other players. This is a PVP zone and thus the missions are marked as PVP and are setup to encourage you to fight. I WISH the missions were more PVP-centric. If I had to kill X # of other players I would much prefer that than to sit with an orb waiting in line for 5 minutes only to get ganked when it's my turn to activate the pylon. It's stupid. That being said, get a group if you want to do it and you'll be less likely to get jumped.

The whole point of the Gree event is to provide an open-world PvP setting. So either you're saying you don't like the Gree event, or you want them to change the design goals, taking away the one thing in the whole game that's designed for fans of spontaneous, open-world PvP.

Why would you do that?
