Alec_Fortescue Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Apparently a number of players think this is a good income for their guild banks! 100k for a safe PvP daily quest :l Otherwise you'll get ganked by a dozen of guild mates who are just standing there, with their quests done and all.

Lostpenguins Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'd report them. That's total BS. Report them for what? You're in a PvP zone so they have every right to attack you. There's nothing stopping the non-guilded to ban together. I'm pretty sure the amount of people in that guild are less than the number of non-guilded people Turn the tables on them if you can rouse enough people.

Alec_Fortescue Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, it's a small group pvp zone. They're still acting as a raid party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostpenguins Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Well, it's a small group pvp zone. They're still acting as a raid party. They have every right to act like that. There's nothing in a FFA PvP Zone that says you're forced to attack anyone. Have you ever played a FFA in an RTS and hated how two people worked together to pick you off by attacking from opposite sides. What do you actually think of their action/idea?! As for what I think... this is Bioware's fault. They designed it this way and someone else is gaming the system. This never should have been a PvP FFA area... terrible idea.

_tegrof Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Wow, with the new repair costs, this sounds like a great idea! I wonder if our guild could form up with a couple others to really drive the price up and split it. Would suck if I gave a crap about the event, but since I don't, I find this to be an extremely great way to recoup some repair costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altheran Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Report them for what? You're in a PvP zone so they have every right to attack you. I don't think they have the right to extort people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostpenguins Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I don't think they have the right to extort people... Extort? You have a chance at fighting back. This isn't like your some shop owner getting squeezed by the local crime family. This is a game and there's nothing in it that says they can't do this. It's a PvP Zone. It's BW's flawed system. It's the same thing people were doing when they were killing everyone trying to get to vendor in Outlaw's Den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference if it's a player or a mafioso who say this ? Edited February 14, 2013 by Altheran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthOvertone Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I don't think they have the right to extort people... Then blow them the eff up. The Gree orb is better than a Smash AOE. Get one other person, that's really all you need, both of you grab orbs. Roll up on the extorters while orbed and take them down. If you kill them, props for a good fight and you can drop your orb. If they kill you, they will die from the explosions. Either way, you win. If they come back, just rinse and repeat. You don't even have to be good at PvP to do this.

dipstik Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i know a PvP guild on our PvP server actually set a time to meet up to do this... again. the had a bounty on them for 4-5 mil... but what others are saying is ture... they could easily be out numbered if people would organize an assault on them... but its all just red text on top of peoples heads... so the guild tag thing would get difficult to use as a decerner of whom to attack. youre lucky they were only charging 100k lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhumbug Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 this is great. im all for players controlling/influencing the game environment as much as possible. too bad the space game is such nonsense, we could blockade whole planets. a REAL war.

Alec_Fortescue Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 These guys aren't competing in order to complete the quest. can't really fight back - how many of yous got a dozen of friends to fight such group off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in a guild? Have you seen people organize PvP back in old Ilum from simple Pubs? Sounds like you could do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstik Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 its a lot harder without making a public ops group since they are not allowed in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostpenguins Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 its a lot harder without making a public ops group since they are not allowed in that area Once again... this goes back to BW's terrible system.

Trollokdamus Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Extort? You have a chance at fighting back. This isn't like your some shop owner getting squeezed by the local crime family. Yep, you have a chance at fighting back. A chance as high as a shop owner has if he runs towards the local crime family members having him at gunpoint with his fists raised. It's BW's flawed system. Sadly, this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
