I'm going to quote the article I'm sure there's something I'm missing.

 

From Friday, June 2 through Sunday, June 4, jump into Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and join the Galactic Defender Event to celebrate EA’s Play to Give program.

 

Through Play to Give, we’re celebrating the importance of inclusion and play and the positive connections it makes for all the diverse players around the world. Help us celebrate what everyone in our galactic community contributes to our galaxy!

 

This weekend, team up with friends new and old in battles across the galaxy and get rewarded*:

 

All players who log in during the Play to Give campaign receive the new ‘PL-2G Defender’ Battle Droid mini-pet.

Plus, if players join with 1 or more friends in 1 million or more total group activities across the SWTOR galaxy, all players who log in during the Play to Give campaign will also receive the ‘Galactic Defender’ in-game title!

Rewards will be delivered via in-game mail by Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 11:59PM PDT / Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 6:59PM GMT.

 

Here are some tips to join a group:


Invite another player to be a part of your group by typing ‘/invite [name of player]’ or you can right click on the player’s name in chat and invite to group.

Click the Group Finder icon on your minimap located on the bottom left side of your screen and queue for multiplayer battles

Join multiplayer battles at Level 70 through Galactic Command (press CTRL + G or click the Galactic Command icon located at the top of your screen)

 

Here are some suggested group activities in the game to get you started:

 

Flashpoints – Band together with three trusted allies to undertake these dangerous story-driven missions

Uprisings – Team up with three other players in erupting fast-paced, action-packed battles at Level 70

Operations – It’s up to your team of 8 or 16 players to confront some of the powerful threats in the galaxy

Player-vs-Player Combat – Make your mark in 8v8 PvP Warzones or 4v4 Warzone Arenas

Galactic Starfighter – Take your battle to space and experience intense 12v12 free flight dogfighting

World Bosses – Join with a large group to defeat the highest level boss on various planets called the ‘World Boss’

Story missions – From class missions to story chapters in the latest Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion, help your friends level up as they make their way through the story

Heroic missions – You’ll want to team up with one or more friends to take on these group missions that are slightly more difficult than your standard world missions

….and more!

 

 

EA is partnering with United Nations HeForShe, a global solidarity movement for gender equality and anti-bullying organizations PACER Center and Ditch the Label to give back to our player communities. EA will donate $1 million to these charitable partners that are already making a difference for a better internet.

Was wondering this myself, but they say "Click the Group Finder icon on your minimap located on the bottom left side of your screen and queue for multiplayer battles", so I'm assuming it is that easy.

"Plus, if players join with 1 or more friends in 1 million or more total group activities across the SWTOR galaxy, all players who log in during the Play to Give campaign will also receive the ‘Galactic Defender’ in-game title!"

 

It sounds like if everyone does 1 million or more total group activities then everyone who logs in, regardless of them actually doing any group activities themselves, will get the title.

 

Also, to be fair, queuing through group finder should not be the only metric used to measure group activities. For example, a friend and I were planning to run some Star Fortresses this weekend. Is that not a group activity? Can't queue for it as far as I know but it's still "grouping with 1 or more friends".

That seems impossible to do though 1 million from June 2-4 only way that could happen is if you play non-stop for 3 days.

 

Add-on: I know I can't be up 72 hours straight.

One million total across all players on all servers, naturally, not one million each. Geez.

While there was some room for interpretation, this was how I took it as well.

 

It's hard to say for any player how achievable that goal is (I think it was like nearly 20k per server per day, while a handful of servers might be happy to contribute 100 group sessions :p), but you'd think they'd pick an achievable number, if only for PR reasons.

EA are tightwads. They dont want to give the money, thats why they have set an achievable target.

 

I would prefer them to spend $1 million on actually creating NEW & FUN CONTENT for this game, so that people would stop quitting.

 

You only have to compare ESO to SWOTOR to see an MMO doing things right.

Yeah, right.

 

ESO releases Morrowind, and takes so much flack in Closed Beta and PTS testing that some guilds have seen 80% player reductions.

 

ESO is going through its own 5.0 "we think this is exciting" moment as we speak.

 

All The Best

I love swtor as a game a lot more.. but this sounds like utter nonsense to me. ESO is the best example I've seen in a long while of how to do things right.

For the title I think we need to get one guy to do 1000000 group activities. Not me, but someone.

 

It's three days.. that would be 232 group activities per minute. I'm pretty sure that's not just meant to be done by one person..

Just received mine and all i did was log in during the event. Didn't do a single group activity or quest and got both the pet and the title.

 

I didn't log it at all during the event. Last time I logged in was Thursday afternoon. And I received the pet and the title. o_O ...I am...confused...
