It's kind of silly for you to be so blatantly disingenuous... No, infinitely smaller = 0. The number of people who hate the event is larger than that, and the number of people in favor of adding a true opt out method to the event is larger than the number of haters (since it includes quite a few of the people who like the event)

Meh, not interested. Actually, it comes with a period stun and /or death after a set amount of time I don't want to be offensive, but you're bscially saying that if you're bad at pvp and die all the time, it doesn't have a negative effect. There are multiple reports of people losing pvp matches as a result of the plage. Ball carrier exploding right befor the line. Exploding and/or getting stunned during a point capture at 7 seconds. Getting knocked out of stealth due to the stun. Etc is that something that was hotfixed recently? Yes it does, both the stun and the explosion. Do you realize that I have a crystal that I like equipped and 0 interested in a meh green-black one?

He's not whining about anything. Credits aren't a useful reward for a serious pvper. What you've suggested removes the point of his pvping and in place gives him a reward that is only useful for working around/opting out of an even that he doesn't want to be involved in. That's a pretty useless suggestion. This statement doesn't actually make any sense...

No, the fact that the top 2 people, and 3 of the top 5 people who are keeping the thread alive are now pro-event instead of the opposite does mean something.

actually, of the top 5, 3 of them are pro-event; the top 2 are both pro-event. Of the top 10, several of them are names that weren't particularly prominent in the last couple of threads. So it's actually a different crop of people who have kept this thread alive, mostly. So, he should lose the benefit of playing pvp (winning) in favor of getting a reward he doesn't care about (credits)? How is that supposed to make any sense? It's kind of sad to see people act like that; just because he has different goals than you doesn't make his goals valueless.

Noone has claimed anything else False. This can make the difference between a win and a loss. That's not a nil difference; clearly pvping is a big deal to that guy.

How is that relevant? The claim is that there's 2 dissidents, and the reality is that there were 40 in the last day who were in favor of opt out, and another few that had alternate solutions or were partially in accord even though they were pro-event...

No, he pretty clearly understands how the infection works; he's just not willing to get hit by it during a pvp match.

Personally: by posting rather than logging into the game, among other things. I've mentioned that on a couple of occasions...

You missed: QQ people have a different opinion than I do about something so I'm just going to label it as QQ rather than actually addressing any of their concerns.

uh, that's backwards. Ice ice baby was released in 1990 under pressure was released in 1980 While it never came to a lawsuit, it's highly likely that it was settled out of court and Queen got paid for it's use. Queen included a note in their 1992 compilation album "In 1990 the bass and piano featured again on Vanilla Ice's number one single Ice Ice Baby."

I hate cross posting but Sure, he can go inconvenience himself by pvping off of fleet... evidential his personal list of inconveniencing things, from most inconvenient to least is getting the plague while pvping avoiding the plague while pvping by staying off of fleet and possibly spending less than 50k (since he'll get infected in the matches on a regular basis) avoiding the plague while pvping by spending 50k Personally i think that instead of suggesting that he inconvenience himself in a different way, we should suggest to bioware that they should give him the option to not be inconvenienced. so, add a 4th option: avoid the plague while pvping by spending 0 credits would be idea.

I suspect that making the stim persist though death would have probably dropped that to 2k or maybe 4k.

it's the stickied thread about when the event ends. Circumstances = PvP; EDIT: I don't really find it all that surprising: anyone as serious about pvp as that guy is going to want to min-max, and that means staying plague free for your matches.

personally, I'm hoping not.

There's a guy in another thread that mentioned that it cost him ~50k to stay plague free yesterday.

you can hit tab rather than clicking (FYI).

Eh, Rakghouls from games are N-canon (non-canon) and S-Canon (secondary Canon) iirc; the stuff that's in the books or comics that are novelizations of the games are either C-Canon or S-Canon (I'm not sure what the policy is on game novelization material); stuff that's in other books/comics would be C-Canon. They less canon than either G-Canon or T-Canon. So, in general: the rakghouls are less canon than the quasi romance that Luke and Leia had in splinter of the mind's eye. They're on par with the wookie life day celebration from the star wars Christmas special, and generally more canon than the appearances on the muppet show. Rift's events are on the box. Not so with plagues that allow players to grief one another for star wars. People standing around the pvp terminal to infect people who didn't want to be infected. Millennium is a latin word; it's pluralization follows latin rules; it's a 2nd declension neuter Latin noun. so he's not really correcting English spelling. Actually, there are 5 years involved in that span 0ABY 1ABY 2ABY 3ABY 4ABY so depending on exactly when during the year the battle of Yavin happened and when during the year the battle of Endor happened it's either 3, 4 or 5 years.

Out of curiosity: where is "here" we had ~200 cases of measles in the US last year, almost all of them were the result of people traveling abroad.

Interesting, instead of countering my argument in any way, you just declare it silly and move on. Bird flu is much less of a threat; inoculation against it was free. measles, scarlet fever and polio are much less of a thread; inoculations against them are mandatory. We're talking about a civilization ending disease that has 100% contagion, 100% lethality, and kills within an hour. The notion that the governments aren't going to make the vaccine both free and mandatory is laughable at best. It's one of those things you have to suspend disbelief about, because it simply makes no sense. Yes, we know. That's the bit that we're saying is unrealistic. I'm not disregarding anything...

I can't, since we're not currently suffering from a civilization ending plague. EDIT: I just remembered, my flu vaccine was free this year, just like it was last year, so my pharmacist agrees. The bird flu scare is the closest that we came and that was nowhere near as contagious, virulent or deadly. There were free inoculations for that. We have mandatory inoculations for much less severe plagues in my country: polio, scarlet fever, measles, etc So if we want to mirror real life... it makes plenty of sense for those stims to be free, and mandatory even. No, that's not analagous. Videogames are not 100% virulent, nor are they 100% lethal and they do not kill within an hour. As mentioned elsewhere, the idea that the governments would be more interested in the tiny short term profit of selling 2k vaccines is laughable at best.

free vaccine, reusable vaccine, persist through death vaccine, free cure from widespread NPC's etc combination of 1, 2 and 3 would have eliminated all but a couple of the 30+ people that I've seen complain about it today (not counting the people that I didn't total up from yesterday or the day before)

it's irrelevant, because it has already been distributed, and the research has already been paid for.

No, these are goverment employees. They probably leave a pension behind for widows and dependent children, so that's a yearly expense. This is false too. The vaccine is already researched. They just need to make it free rather than nickle and dimeing people for it.

they're cheaper than security guard death benefits.
