kiroshei Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) So we are camping Aurek base to start some World PVP. 20 level 50 repubs show up to fight and leave. Next thing ya know a GM comes on by the name of U4-T2 and threatens all our accounts unless we leave the area. This is The Fatman. A pvp server. Such things are allowed on a pvp server yet we arent even allowed to talk to the GM threatening us with it. He was using the skin of a CS-Droid just following us everywhere. Here is a screenshot of what he was saying. We also opened a customer service ticket and were told hes not allowed to do these things. So bioware likes to STOP world pvp on a pvp server? lol What a joke. http://imageshack.us/f/26/gmstopsworldpvp.jpg/ Edited May 26, 2012 by kiroshei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadicus Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 That is just embarrassing for BW. LOL I suspect that the GM in the screenshot was either A: a personal friend of someone who got ganked or B: played a character who got ganked. I also suspect that this GM is not going to be back at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdots Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Wow. Very lame Bioware. It's a PvP server, let people play and have fun. Edited May 26, 2012 by blackdots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphahawk Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 So was that fight we just had in black hole a bannable offense also? It was world pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kninekaji Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 So pvp on a pvp server = ban? Guess the only pvp swtor players will see is when GW2 releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimazzu Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I was more annoyed that the GM said it wasn't up for discussion when I brought up the initial warning that all PVP servers give before you make a character. I wouldn't have cared if the GM at least made an attempt to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShatteredVision Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Honestly...this is the type of trash that could keep me from re-upping my sub. I've been able to handle everything else, but this is too much. What a joke. You should've been given some creds and free gear for MAKING pvp happen in this (world pvp) joke of a game - since the devs won't do it. Also, well done with the TPB reference.

gilgath Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I personally would like an official response from BioWare for this. This is yet another epic FAIL on Bioware's part if they do not respond to give us what their official position is on this matter since one of their underlings speaking on their behalf, decided to say this. Shame on you Bioware. Players should not have to experience threats to their accounts for PvPing on a PVP server. Please let's hear your official stance Bioware.

Cempa Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Sometime after launch a group of Republic players trying to kill a World Boss got attacked by Empire players several times on a PvP server, the Empire players all received warning on the account. This game is a PvE game and what is meant by PvP is the random 1 to 3 player encounters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxipad Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Honestly Bioware for from worse to worse, to outright crazy. What the hell is this GM thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Karsk Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If that is a real GM i'n pretty sure he is without a job after this. I would lose it if a GM told me ingame to stop playing/pvp what ever.If you get this posted on massively etc all the people reading it will refuse to belive it's true because it's so stupid and braindead. This is why i guess we hae those zones killing people ingame, and no open world pvp. Because they like to hand held people and dont have a clue what they are doing. Anyways is this really is a GM that is one patetic GM who should be removed !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVP on a PVP server? OMG - run for the hills! If you don't like PVP then don't roll on a PVP server. You'd think that if you're smart enough to install the game you'd be able to figure this out.

TheronFett Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that it was U4-T2 earlier this week on Lord Adraas (RP server). There was a large (by this game's standards) gathering of people at the steps of the Jedi temple on Tython. Also a GM in a droid skin, was attempting to RP with some of the people there. Sounds like the night janitor at BioWare is logging in for some play time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaar Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) I am actually shocked that this thread has not been closed yet, bioware normally try and squash these type of posts. Honestly when you think they cannot sink their game any faster, they go and do something like this. Bioware it seems will do anything to discourage world PvP, if anyone actually believed their latest statements about PvP now being extremely important, this shows that it is not true. I am glad I cancelled my sub and I cannot wait for GW2 where they won't threaten to ban you for playing the game. Utterly ridiculous.
