Can you name one MMO that has come out since SWTOR that doesn't offer transfers?
Server transfers are LONG overdue for us and show how small the development team on SWTOR is...
that makes me LoL!
you quoted an article that says that PAX east 2012 had LARGER numbers than any other PAX

saame here...since a couple of bad experiences in the "PVE" are of the Gree event I have barely played the game. My Sub is up in March and for the first time I am thinking of putting that money somewhere else.
and then 2 messages down a player ONCE AGAIN explains that you can easily become tagged while doing the "PVE" quests in the new area.
I just did some dailies on IMP side and did not have any problems...but I saw PUBS ganking people near the heroic PVE stufff and general chat was full of people raging.
I continue to believe that this event is poorly done for both PVE and PVP.
"This event encourages PvP and grouping up"
this event encourages ganking. even same faction ganking...if you enjoy that good for you. I do not.
I was working on a PVE quest when I was flagged and killed by players. Players who were there to gank other players.
A PVE QUEST.
PVP is won by 2 things in SWTOR: Numbers or the Expertise stat. My character had barely 1000 expertise on and was attacked by 3-5 players as soon as he was flagged. how on earth is that enjoyable?
the fact that multiple people in this are ok with a chunk of the player base being disfranchised by this event is troubling.
I also cant think of a MMO that has done this sort of event before...now we know why.
I enjoy SWTOR....alot. But I find this and the current focus on F2P players are both souring the game for me.
" It seems like there's nothing in this event for me,"
and this is why this event is a massive failure.
Instancing the 2 types of zones would have prevented this clusterfrig but the hero engine probably cant handle that...
ways to get flagged during PVE questing during Gree event:
AOE from you or your comp into a flagged player (I did this to a stealthed opposite faction player and got jumped by her 4 friends) note flagged PLAYER...you can get flagged from your faction too.
healing (you or your companion) a flagged player.
having a teammate gt flagged can sometime trigger this too.
so can you PVE during the gree event...yes if careful and you limit your playstyle.
