I do that every day and never got a warning so i guess we are on safe grounds here

But this may change if enough people will start crying about beeing ganked while trying to grab an armament at central...

Pretty sure the OP isn't telling the whole story.

I seriously hope the OP misunderstood or is exagerating the facts. Otherwise if that was on a PVP server... that is messed... up.

This is why people ROLL on Pvp servers to have epic stuff happen like this...

Get real. People on the internet are like mindless sheep.
When people were getting spawn camped on Ilum during the first day of 1.1, Bioware was warning people who were joining warzones and afking to get to the fleet in order to escape the Ilum spawn zerg.

So after that, stuff like this is quite believable.

"Open world PVP" means you trade kills. Because that is an intended use of game mechanics.

Open world PVP doesn't mean you actually fight other players and try to WIN, taking advantage of the world around you. That's griefing.

You must have not got the BW design memo.

Yep. But not warning peopel for trading kills. Because that's intended and normal, whereas escaping being 24/7 spawn camped by going to a warzone is exploiting!

If you get a warning for "griefing" for actively engaging in world pvp then really Bioware just should disable the ability to attack players of the opposite faction and relaunch the game as a single player only game with multiplayer warzones and dungeon crawling.

The game already feels completely dead because you hardly see players from the opposite faction outside of warzones and Ilum. Might as well just take it one step further.
That is because the maps are theme parks. You being there is an eyesore to biowares art team. In your multi-colored armor. Sporting mohawks.

Being all rowdy. Cursing and killing.

Your the problem to bioware.

You play the game.

Pvp in this game is not a license to grief. If you are too immature to accept that go to a game that encourages it please.
If they intended the area to be off limits to open world pvp then they can easily set the zone to remove the pvp flags.

Therefore, under your logic its again an issue of staff. However, a staff mistake shouldn't immediately make the entire game pvp some carebear entity.

But threads going ignored does not help them any.

I thought they had staff to you know? monitor and comment and stop things from this from being 40 pages of nonsense?

I can only assume this sort of thing will occur more often since Ilum has been scrapped, and there is very little end game to speak of other than waiting for WZ pops...
