Need Official answer: Tauntaun quest, Griefing vs PVP

For what it's worth, yes - I would considering it "griefing", but the kind that is within acceptable boundaries for a PvP server, where half the population's idea of fun will be to ruin someone else's day.

Poor fella. Can't PvP in the game, and feels compelled to resort to insults in the forum when presented with facts. What's that all about?

You know, I'm not much of a PvPer. In fact I'm terrible at it. i don't complain about it though. These days I just don't do those types of activities. but, in the past in other games if I was going into a contested area for a quest I would gather my friends who were good at PvP and enjoyed it and asked if they would watch my back. They got to have fun protecting me and PvPing out in the world. We all had fun and got things done. Together, we had fun and they even got me to do a bit of PvPing with them.

That is how I believe this is designed to work. Just a guess.

That is terribly unfair. We only like to ruin someone else's day if they're on the opposite faction...that's why that silly FFA Gree event area was so dumb.

OP should read this to get an understanding that he is not even playing the same game as the true PvP players. He plays not to win, so he calls others out who do. And in PvP it is all about winning and never losing, and letting other people have success with whatever they do is basically letting them win. It's not cheap nor it is griefing, BioWare implemented it in a way that makes that playstyle possible so deal with it. For example like this:

PvP servers are all about grief. Why do you think people raided (becides the rewards) the capital cities so often on PvP servers. You could grief tons of low level people. It is part of the way they work.
