I am not talking about ganking low level players. I am talking about no PvP at all on planets. One of the reasons is also that you do not get ANYTHING if you kill a player outside of warzone or illum area. So how is that a PvP world? And seriously If u want to gank low lvl players you can do it anywhere. There will always be that but there will also always be players that will protect the low lvl newbies. There are always 2 sides not just 1.

I read all the posts and I can see most of the players know whats wrong with open world PvP. Why cant the Bioware guys that are paid to do it see it also? Are they blind or stupid or what? Like someone wrote; Maybe the servers could not handle 30 vs 30 people at the same time. I played WoW and we had our first raid to Undercity with around 100 players on mounts going in. It lagged like hell. When u pressed a spell it took 2-5 minutes to resolve. The computer guards had no lag ofc. They killed you and you did not know you are dead for 2-5 minutes also. We decided not to go there again. There were also a lot of enemy players. On illum that happened with 15-20 imps vs 10-15 pubs. Even after I retreated to base my computer could not recover from the lag. It just crashed. Like someone wrote - millions for the story and couple of thousands for the network stuff. Sad. Even more sad cause this is a great game with great story. I will still play at least 2 stories on republic side and do the quests. Lets hope Bioware and some other mmo companies will learn from all this and produce a better PvP world in the future.

I reached level 50 with 2 characters - imperial side. With my first I did almost all of the quests on all the planets. The story was great. With my second i did only half the quests and my class quest. Both times I was questing I met very few rebel players on all the planets. I remember 2-3 from tatooine and 2-3 on Hoth and 1 on Nar shadaa bonus quests. I attacked them, happy to do PvP on a PvP server. But that was it. So in my 2 months of playing i managed to find around 15-20 rebel players on all the planets I visited with my 2 characters. Now THAT is whats wrong with PvP in SWTOR. It is made like a single player game. It is a superb story and lots of fun to play but there is no world PvP - even after you get a warning choosing a server to be PvP. Developers just decided each side should have a totally separated quest hubs so you can enjoy the story? WRONG There should be killing and quest items/monsters stealing from the second planet onward. That is the base of world PvP. Warzones are not real PvP. You can join and know nothing bad will happen. Maybe you will waste some time and get less valor/cash/expirience but thats it. You cannot lose anything in warzones. Warzones should be only for training so you can kill players for real in the world. Also PvP gear is just stupid. Let me explain. Lets say I play 2-3 hours per day average. I like to do flashpoints and quests. I will not go to warzones since I do not have time. So I get "PvE" gear. With that gear I have 0 chance to kill an average guy geared with basic PvP gear. So what should I do ? Spend all my time in warzones to get PVP gear? So I cant do FP and quests that I like? Warzones should not give you gear it should only give credits and titles. Generaly there should be no "PvP" gear. If there are 2 types of gear then that is like having 2 games. 1 is PvE game with PvE gear. And the other is PvP game with PvP gear. With PvE gear u cant defeat PvP players. And players with PvP gear have hard time in PvE content. You just cannot do both at the same time. Especially since there is no WORLD PvP to do so!!!!!! Oh and in SWTOR you do not get anything if u kill a player outside of Illum or warzones. 0 valor 0 credits 0 anything. I hope people will understand what I am trying to say here about WORLD PVP and how it affects the whole game.
