So why even make the comment when these guys are talking about the western shelf area? No one is suggesting you will get auto flagged, or have to PvP in the eastern side.

PvE isn't forced on PvPers, you come into the game knowing you're going to do PvE to get levels (at some point or at least a VERY good chance of it). That arguement has always been and always will be one of the dumbest arguements. You're not playing a FPS, you're playing an MMO.

In my view forced PVP is one of the dumbest arguments ever, because no one is forcing you to do the content. You have a choice.Sometimes the PVE only crowd has to be told "You're not playing a single player game. You're playing an MMO."

And that's why I say "No different than being forced to do OPs or Flashpoints if I want that type of gear."

Explore the Planet Ilum to unveil a new Event, Relics of the Gree! A mysterious ancient Gree starship called “the Gray Secant” has appeared over Ilum’s Western Ice Shelf. Those who are brave enough will get the chance to help the Gree and face off against a powerful foe waiting in the heart of the Gree vessel. Republic and Imperial forces that finish this mission will earn exclusive Gree technology, including highly advanced weapon and armor appearances!


What did you think they meant when they said "Those who are brave enough?"

what u say is that the game wil go pvp directions.. aka autoflag.... then i have sadly to avoid it.. and if many avoid the thing wil fail... only a small amounts of people who are like you who are into killing low geared players...

the same with brave and all they said about flashpoints too btw..lol

It's called a PvE server because apart from a few places you cannot engage in PvP involuntarily, the western shelf being one of them.

Yes, they should.
There's a reason why there are PVE and PVP servers. Players on PVE servers are there for a reason and that reason is they don't want to PVP.

Not hard to understand.

If anything they should do away with PVE and PVP servers and make it like it was in SWG. You want to pvp then go to the recruiter for your alignment and presto, you were flagged.

Here, in this game not only do they have pvp and non-pvp servers but there are many planets your faction can't even go to.

Makes little sense.
