The PvP players are more like wildebeests, having to constantly watch out for lions, crocodiles, hyenas, etc. In a raid, a pvp player is going to be able to move and adapt more quickly than someone who isn't used to having to watch all around and react suddenly. Corn-fed Wagyu DPS may have a smooth rotation, but I'd put money on them derping a boss pull because they stand in fire, or didn't watch their target of target or some other form of baddie'ism. While ganking sucks, it does create a sharper player. Bwahahahahahahaha! Lolololololol! Whew, ok, I'm done laughing. Wait.. hahahahaha! Ok, thanks for the great laugh and pretty much the funniest post ever. I love the part how you compare world PvP with scripted raids. Like Larry the Cable Guy would say, "That's funny right there." Ganking creates two things, neither of which is a sharper player: Grief for the ganked party and joy for the loser sociopath who is likely incapable of winning a fair fight. Not that any of this matters in the real world. Thank you again for such a great post. If you ever want to write for The Onion, I will happily give you a glowing reference.

Goes something like this: Player One: "Baldie's here". Everyone Else: "Mark her, and screw the objectives. Blowing Baldie up is all that matters until the timer runs out".

I knew someone would remember her

despite what people will say, if you are actually being camped in major quest hub and are completely unable to get your quests and carry on this is against the rules of conduct. now this is rare but not impossible, i assume bh/troopers can still stealth scan ppl even in pvp death stealth. rules of conduct-->harassment "Player versus Player (�PvP�) activities, where available, are not exempt from this policy." figured id share this knowledge with ya since most ppl are going on about pvp server blah blah blah.

If nobody else has said it yet. You can thank the "Kill X amount of players" achievements for the ganking.

Yea I agree, obviously you rolled a pvp server to PVP in a more fair manner, not be ganked by people who are bored with the game. I think it's pretty boring to gank someone that stands no chance against you, where's the challenge in that? I usually don't gank lowlvls for that reason. I'm on the same server btw

I have seen full raid groups of pvp geared 'players' tooling around low level contested planets for hours on end. What chance does a lone , under-geared level 20ish character stand against a full raid group of PvP geared level 55s?
Remember Antaria, Naboo, Starsider Server.

Dont lie to yourself. This is PVP server. No rules, no place to hide. But it was HIS choice. No one has forced him to go on PVP. P.S. Personally I dont like PVP, so im usually not playing games with open-world PVP (at least if i dont have game protection).

and one more issue that's all good about "This is SPARTA!"... i mean "PVP SERVER!!!" position except one thing gankers RUIN the game they waist their time trying not allow other players to run CONTENT if a bunch of idiots makes for me impossible or hard to fulfill the game content -i'll put it aside ganking do not lead other side to run the game - just the opposite people ganked do not go to warzones or Huttball or to Illum to "avenge" they'll' get bored and dissapointed there are ways of playing which makes the game more interesting and involving - PVP (war zones or open world) one of them of course but ganking is not
