Well RedVenom, I'd like to take this opportunity to quote ThunderHeart again:

Remember that one of the main philosophies of this game is if you do not want to play PvP, you do not have to. - ThunderHeart

Unless stated otherwise, I am following this, if he comes out and says otherwise, then that's fine, I'll accept it. But till then, my arguements more water than anything you say.

Because, if I have to pop a Muon Gold to survive some content, not having it is barring me from it. Muon Gold I use in emergency situations, if it's not available to me, then obviously I'll die alot more thus making me not get to that content as often as I would like or not at all.

but when you join a faction you are accepting the posibility of pvp , just try trading with an overt rebel and its the same stuff ? or if you heal one by accident ? the game is made so if you dont want to pvp by being neutral you have no way of getting involved in such .

its in the manual

being covert just means that you want to slow pvp for a bit but are still subject to it .

Point it out to me. Give me a link. I gave you TH's to the no forcing PvP comment. In case you missed it, here it is again:

PvP combat is not enabled by default; instead, you must actively choose to participate in the PvP system and make yourself vulnerable to attacks by other players.

Angerian Fishak is being changed with the crackdown publish, who knows what other Chef foods are being changed which add +Mind (Bivoli Tempari, Glazed Glucose Plate). Mind buff take time, momey, and finding an Entertainer to apply them. Holo grinding has killed this part of it to an extent. If I lose my mind buff, what choice do I have? Pop a Muon. thanks for trying again, you lose, stop arguing, I have clearly showed you that you are mislead in your arguements.

from page 173 of the adventure manual(its in your game box )

JOINING A FACTION:

once you've earned enough faction points , you can visit a recruiter to actually join your desired faction bla bla bla

conversing with the recruiter will provide you withe the opportunity to declare your alligence .However , you have two options when joining up:

Covert:declaring as a covert member of a faction allows you to participate in limited pvp.As a covert member of your faction, you'll be allowed to attack enemy NPC (such as storm troopers if you join the allince) you may also acces to a few new arenas in the game and have some additional abilites on a battlefield

Overt vert status is true, constant PvP . as an overt member of a faction , you can attack any enemy NPC's as well as overt members of the oposing faction .

i hope this clears it sliver and pwy , now move along move along

Covert:declaring as a covert member of a faction allows you to participate in limited pvp.As a covert member of your faction, you'll be allowed to attack enemy NPC (such as storm troopers if you join the allince) you may also acces to a few new arenas in the game and have some additional abilites on a battlefield

now from page 175 in the adventure book (god a feel like 2 old ladies arguing over paragraps in the bible)

TEMPORARY ENEMY FLAGS

As a covert member of a faction , you will often incur Temporary Enemy flags (or TEF's) you can gain a TEF by attacking an npc or by aiding an overt member of your faction (trough healing for example) While the TEF is active , AN OVERT MEMBER OF THE OPPOSING FACTION CAN FREELY ATTACK YOU

so how does that sounds like no pvp for coverts ????? O.o

so pwy do you want me to read you page 175 :

QUITING A FACTION :

Look, my god. If I incur a TEF healing people or killing NPC's that fine. If I get scanned for having illegal stuff and get a TEF that's FINE. If I am out doing PvE, get scanned while fighting Pikets, whatever, rancors, I get a TEF (it actually reads I go Overt which is even worse) and a player then comes by and Kills me while I am fighting said mobs, I HAVE JUST BEEN FORCED INTO PvP. WHAT CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
