MasterSaucy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Trying to grab my quests at a neutral quest hub, where it is impossible to grab them because empire players keeps ganking you while you try it. There are guards at the hub but they don't do anything at all. Here's my situation at Pilgrim Retreat on Voss (there are 4 empire players in this screenshot, but unable to see the name of him because he's at the top of the screenshot): http://imgur.com/MO9Nv My solution is to put in some neutral quest hub guards or something.

crazycantab Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nope... Ganking is definitely a part of a PvP server. Unfair ganking too. If you don't like it you should go to a PvE server, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisslanza Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 this is hilarious, its thanks to ******* people like you that swtor has no open world pvp, **** to a pve server and stop ruining the game for ppl that enjoy pvp There's a difference between PvP and ganking/griefing. In one, it's actually fair and you stand a chance. In the other, it's because the player is a jerk who feels the only way to feel good about themself is to prevent other players from enjoying the game.

belialle Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) If this is bothering you, I suggest that you roll on a PvE server instead. Many of us actually enjoy world PvP......even when we have the short end of the stick in extremely one-sided world PvP. Please don't rain on our parade. Just go play on a server that has a ruleset that matches your desired style of play. Edited December 26, 2011 by belialle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionixx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yep. PvP server is le suck. I'm sorry but I'm good at PvP, I don't need to play on a PvP server and get ganked until I'm foaming at the mouth to validate myself. PvE servers FTW!

Or did you never quest in Stranglethorn Vale on a PvP server? Ganking is essentially 90% of a PvP server. Why did you choose a PvP server if you didn't expect to be ganked and griefed? It's like a fraternity, you get tons of **** when you first start, but eventually you're in a position to give back equal doses of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pathetic if PvPers think a form of griefing is "proper" PvP. There's no reason to do it, other then the fact you want to make other people's lives miserable and try to prevent people from actually enjoying the game. Go pick on people who actually stand a chance, instead of having to beat up people 20-30 levels below you and thinking you're so awesome. You just start a cycle of suffering that makes them want to do the same thing to people who might want some proper PvP instead of just getting curbstomped to build up someone's fragile ego.

Mainly because of people like you, who cry endlessly about it instead of just dealing with it and give the gankers a trollboner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I just don't play PvP because if I felt like having my time wasted by gankers who deserve to be punched in the throat, I'd go grind my fingers under a rock or something. It's cheaper and just as annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawkis Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yep. PvP server is le suck. I'm sorry but I'm good at PvP, I don't need to play on a PvP server and get ganked until I'm foaming at the mouth to validate myself. PvE servers FTW! The problem isn't the server. It's the world PVP community, they are their own worst enemies. One side will gain a numbers/level advantage and mercilessly gank/zerg the other side until the losing side leaves in frustration ( losing all the time just isn't fun ) except for a few masochistic fools . Fast forward 3 months... all of the gankers will be screaming about how Bioware " hates world-pvp" or " has forgotten about pvp" My response at that time will be as always - " You reap what you sow" Good world pvp takes a great level of commitment from BOTH sides to make work. Occasionally you may want to not kill the lowbie, or if you outnumber 10 -1 you may want to leave folks alone after you've killed them a couple times. Players transfering off are your second worst enemy. PS - Bioware: server forums could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not imply a fair fight. If you are on a PvP server, you need to be chaotic evil. If you're not of the mindset of kill or be killed, why did you choose a PvP server? There are warzones.

I always remember PvPers complaining that "<so and so dev> isn't adding anything to world PvP!". Maybe if you weren't constantly ganking everyone you saw, you'd actually encourage people to stay - aside from masochists or people hell-bent on revenge.

CHRISGG Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 The point is that theres guards but they don't do anything. This is clearly a bug. So many 12 year olds posting rage at the OP in this thread for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVP = Player Verse Player, as long as both sides are players its PVP doesn't matter about numbers. Ganking is part of open world PVP, if im out questing solo bump into 6 enemies i expect all 6 to jump on me. Not just 1 to walk to me and attack me while the other 5 stand there because if they joined it would no longer be PVP but ganking !! edit: but yeah OP is just saying guards aint doing much at quest hub could be a bug.
