the thing is the thing that the thing is on pvp server so tag'em and bag'em

You can't trash talk while you are killin someone in a game?

The only explanation for warnings would be some game breaking exploit or killing reps in a way so that their corpses form a banned symbol.

And ToR took it much further. Simple game for simple people.

Lets just hope GW2 will appreciate and incorporate PvP more then Bioware has in SWTOR. As it stands PvP is a pretty big disappointment and from what I have read we will have to wait beyond patch 1.2 before PvP gets a little more interesting.

yeah yeah typing mistake, glad you got your laughs off. But PVP server or not, its still gonna get looked at with a critical eye that your tagging a boss with no intent to engage. you want to engage the Repub's thats fair game if your own group is also trying to kill the boss, go for it. But BW seems to be stating that in this game, such is not ok by them.

GW is made for PVP, SWTOR was made for primarily PVE. Sure there are PVP elements and they will likely increase their focus on it, but its a PVE first game, thats easily seen. Its like I will not be playing GW2 for the raids or leveling experience.

Freedom stops on someone else's rights. And so on. No current MMO game will allow you to do whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want it. The social aspects of the game get ruined and the player base shrinks because of such things. Better to upset the vocal minority than they greater whole.

I would suspect there is a balance they are working here....

Did your group proceed to slay the world boss?

....or were you just killing off the republic players so they could not?
Denying content? On pvp servers, world pvp is 'content'. If youre fighting over a world voss, then so be it.
You're part of why this game is so carebear.

Can't remember ever getting banned for destroying whole goldshire with an infernal or doomguard back when you needed to enslave it, nor for brining pulled boss into the enemy camps so he kills them.

Tagging mobs have been in the games for ages, what's the difference between a world boss and an weak enemy needed for quest? They are both mobs...
