I remember PONG and everything after that, I don't think its the games so much as the gamers. Cussing. Religeon. Sexual situations. Among others. Any of these are hot button issues for some gamers. Game companies typically take the path of least resistance and that leaves us here. Also in those days us gamers were far and few in between,to few people to get worked up by Larry's exploits. Now days games are mainstream ,they cater to millions instead of thousands and as such have to cater to mainstream views of the world in which they are created.

You can grind random mobs on the world you're in for more credits,space missions pay decent as well as level you up. And if you are on Mind Trick server I'll help you out manually. whisper Hanover.

We can hope any way.

I know I was agreeing with him, I have have personally sounded off about the AoE flagging in several threads as well as the Suggestion box. It makes no sense that AoE is flagging inadvertently and healing is not, perhaps I should have worded it better.

Well you certainly are entitled to your opinion. I have a few people below that might disagree with you , and that it is a substantial issue for the majority them. Remove PvP flagging from AOE effects on PvE servers. Why oh why can I hurt other players if I am not PvP flagged? PVP flagged on a PVE server? Involuntarily flagged for PvP as a 32 by a 50 on a PvE server. Confused and Very Upset!

I know, and I'm a fanboy, but this really makes zero sense.

You should put spoiler tags on this OP.

A very valid point. The gank didn't freak me out as much as still having to clear the dungeon with invisible kids diving into every other fight to flag me. It really soured the rest of the night for me as I simply didn't have the choice to just relax and play.

Again to everyone/anyone that states this. Please link where you have read "Working as Intended".

I don't know why, but I kinda of like the challenge of the platform type elements.

I'll take subjective opinion stated as fact for $500 Alex. - SWTOR Fanboy

Please link where a DEV has stated this or it is not that simple.

I feel for you OP, ran into this myself. I have added a post to the suggestion box located here , if you support removing this mechanic/bug/problem please add your thoughts to the linked thread. I believe it is more likely to be seen than threads located in the general forum which become buried rather fast. I have also linked this post as well as others that address this .

Awareness bump.

/support. Sorry Dev team no offense but the headgear is down right ugly to me.

Edit: 1/27/12 Joveth Gonzalez has replied to another thread dealing with this problem. A big Thank you to Joveth for the communication. ----------------------------------------------- This tactic is used for griefing more and more every day on PvE servers. I will link below several complaint threads. PvE players have no desire to PvP but are having it forced upon them by the more unscrupulous parts of the player base while pursuing their PvE story lines. Unwanted PVP flags during HOTH quests Why oh why can I hurt other players if I am not PvP flagged? PVP flagged on a PVE server? Involuntarily flagged for PvP as a 32 by a 50 on a PvE server. Confused and Very Upset! Fix the forced flagging of PVP PVE server pvp flag bug. PVP flagging control. As you can see left unattended this issue is escalating in severity and has already caused a few to in those threads to hit the unsubscribe button. There is the direct attack exploit too, where they attack any mob you have aggroed, if you attack that mob again you are flagged.

Bioware Dev stated they are aware and have elevated the issue for a fix. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=1894062#edit1894062

I'd really like a DEV comment on the working as intended. I think CS made a mistake or doesn't understand the issue properly. I can not believe that forced griefing is an intended game mechanic.

This. ^^

Is there a DEV quote somewhere where this is confirmed working as intended? People (PvPers) are exploiting this mechanic to grief other players (PvEers).

Big thread on this exact topic here.

Apology accepted Admiral. /forcechoke

The single most asinine thread title of the day.
