Really? Are you sure about that? How do you know it will be forced PVP for PVE rewards? I didn't see anything about the rewards on the update page. It might even be that the Gree reputation is a PVP rep. With it all being gained through open world PVP missions, and the rewards for that faction may all be PVP based. Of course, I play on an Oceania server, so having other players actually be in the area won't be a problem. It'll be more of a shock to actually see someone. I hope there's no PVP based missions.
