Events bringing the trolls out from under their bridges, and how to fix it.

Not gonna lie, you guys. The tears of self absorbed, entitled and whiny PVP players too stupid or too stubborn to do proper PvE is totally my favorite part of the Gree Event.

your wrong there they are pvp quests you want that node to get the middle then fight for it, that part of ilum has bin pvp area since day 1 of this game and today it still is, dont like to pvp then dont go in a pvp area easy as that

You understand it right. The gankers/griefers are defending their position with "its a pvp quest, because its named pvp, and its in a pvp area, and rewards warzone comms", but they refuse to see, that the quest itself is by design a pve one, not a pvp one. So its a pve quest in a pvp area.

Ok, let's look it from another way. In a warzone, if you lose a strategic point, or the ball, do you lose something? Yes, the match. On Ilum, if you let players to the pylon charger, to do their quest, do you lose something? No. So, are you an a**hole for not letting people there, who did nothing against you? In my eyes, you definietly are...

You see, if someone attacks you, it's self defense to attack back. If someone calls you names, and taunts you BEFORE you attack him, it's ok, they brought it on themselves. There is a player who does nothing against you, just goes around doing his thing, and you attack him for no reason. Just because you can do it. Possibly, after the defeat the player ask you to not do that again, and you attack him on sight again, what does that makes you?

My personal answer:

I think pvp and pve players have different answers to this question. And that is a major problem too.

lol, if i let you cap middle were i need it 2 im gonna fight for it cause your in my way cause we BOTH need it at that same time, im not gonna stand in line till its my "turn" to take middle in a freakin pvp area ill fight for it if i loose i loose if i win i win, its PVP

if i loose i loose if i win i win, its PVP

So you admint there could be a peacful solution, but you choose not to do it that way. I think this supports my answer, thank you.

The whole Gree event was poorly excecuted in general. The pvp area of Ilum was originally intended for open world semi objective pvp to take place, the big revamp that Bioware had fans of open world pvp excited only to be let down. Not only is the whole Gree business NOT a real pvp event, its a periodic mostly pve related event.. so once again Ilum is void of people while the Gree are off doing other things.

I assume the pvp side is free for all to avoid one faction having a huge advantage in numbers, usually more Imperial players than Republic, instead of coming up with a technical solution.. say making it a pvp event that happens every hour or so, and limits the number of combatants so neither side has an advantage in numbers, instanced area during battles for performance. Instead Bioware takes the easy route by making everyone hostile to eachother regardless of faction. This is a smack in the face of one of the major themes of the game, the ongoing conflict between the Empire and the Republic.

Just think if the development resources used to piece together the pve side of the event was instead used to give Ilum the pvp revamp that us players deserved.. yes deserved, large scale battles on Ilum was one of the features Bioware boasted for the game. As unlikely as this is to happen Ilum needs to be thought through once again.

And this is where PvP and PvE players differ PvP players play for the love of the kill.
