I can't help but point out this terrible logic.

There are murderers in this world.

But we might as well reward them for it, if it's going to happen anyways.

One of a thousand examples I could give for that logic being 100% awful.

Oh, and it doesn't lead to farming kills with your friends on opposing-side alts.
Just stop.

That might be the worst analogy I've ever heard. PVPers are murderers now. K.

i love that the swtor devs are so bad at their jobs that they need more time to develop "rooms for us to stand in" and can't even add new playable content in their "biggest patch ever"

In the email sent out yesterday, there is the line:

Conquest Events: use the power of your Stronghold to dominate these events and earn rewards.

You've always refered to player housing as a Stronghold and Guild housing as a Flagship. Can I read this to be that we will use our personal Stronghold somehow to compete in these events? Or, should it have been Flagship and not Stronghold?

Why? Because the PVPers in this game have a documented and recorded history of ignoring the spirit of PVP and are known for kill-farming alts on the opposing side? Illum says hello.

sounds like you shouldn't have rolled on a pvp server.

unless these "conquest events" occur inside faction bases, you'll face pvp interference on a pvp server. which is the only point of rolling on a pvp server.

I didn't.

I merely commented that any PVP aspect has to be balanced around the reality that PVPers in this game have a reputation for ignoring the spirit of PVP and simply farm kills on their friends' opposing faction alts.

I wouldn't even bother if I were you. He has a rather faulty idea of sanity.

Wow. I at least allowed the possibility that it would be read by someone intelligent.


And then I got you.

I think they could easily implement pvp into the conquest thing by making the pve stuff instanced and then the pvp stuff open world. The pvp doesn't even have to be large 16+ people things. Just small bases scattered around that only require small groups.
