How droll... people that want the choice to PvP or not are forcing their gameplay on to the PvP crowd? How? PvPers can still go PvP all they want. Problem is, that's not what they want or they would have been SF already.


This is exactly what happened in UO, Trammel opened and 90% of the population moved there. All the reds hung out in Felucca and moped because the only people they had to fight were people that were prepared for PvP, and that's not what they wanted. They wanted to hunt miners, or to be able to jump someone engaged in combat with a tough Mob. Gee... that sounds familiar.


You can try to be indignant about it all you want, but if you're a PvPer no one is forcing their playstyle on you. You're just not able to force others anymore.

then you are specifically referring to bounty hunters.


Let me ask you this then, what would you do, also if the devs said you are perma over as an elder jedi to others who are of opposite (jedi) faction? What?

What the ******* **** do you mean with "trying to force my game play style" on others when I request forced-pvp to be removed?

--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

As you've read there are many definitions of carebear as used in mmorpg's.
And many definitions of griefer and the opposites.
But lets clear the air.
The term first started coming into use with the first commercially successful mmorpg Ultima Online.
The entire world outside of guard protected cities was full on pvp.
The game manuals told you that outside of town you were attackable be anyone and everyone.
**hrmm sounds like old Jedi**
Within the community of players the population that didn't want pvp posted,emailed, snail mailed, phoned devs to get the game changed to the way they like to play.
The result was a "mirrored" world that was consensual pvp only, but the old world and old ways still prevailed for those that liked it that way.
It was coined carebear land and so were it's residents.
You see both sides "carebears and hardcore pvp elites" are very similar in that they are both ego driven andwant it their way irregardless of the detriment to the other side.
In Ultima Online the "hardcore pvp'er elites" lost theunlimited supply of helplessvictims.
While the "carebears" got everything for free and without risk their fame dwindled soon as everyone and anyone could have the same things they did with putting in the time.
You see it kills the carebears ego when they are posing at the local hotspot and everyone else has the same L33t items just as it kills the ego of the hardcore elite pvp'er that now dies more often because his selection of victims is limited to others who "want" to pvp.
In mmorpg's carebears are not people who want the game to be fun and fair for all.
They want the game to be their way, which they assume is the way everyone wants it to be or should want it to be.
You see theycan be as malicious and slanderous as their counterparts but in their eyes it's justified because the other views are from the dark side. evil ones.
Just note the fact that many carebears and hardcore pvp'er elites toss out gender and age stereotyping one in the same.
They both think they are justified my their means.

you know..come to think of it, i can see where MsNil appears to be the carebear gestapo...constantly prostesting againsed "forced" pvp, now jedi and bountyhunters alike are upset and Nilly there is happy pretty much.

Thing is ALOT of people wanted to keep the bh/jedi system the way it was. When they took names off, it made it HARDER for bhs to find you cuz i had like ONE since getting full temp. Its sad for the bhs and i just plain feel for them (see nil, im not all evil..just mostly).

I think its dumb to grind precu jedi just so you can be all rp...sort of defeats the purposes as thats how it was supposed to be.

In any case, to each his/her own. But yeah,I can see how you say Nil forced her style of play just the same...good point.

there's a very easy and fast way to find falseness within a generalizedstatement about people. If you see the word all it's 99.9% of the time going to be wrong.


I stated this myself previously that those are the pvp extremists but not all UO pvp'ers were this way. Neither are All the BH's in SWG.


One can log into UO todayand go to the many pvp hotspotswhere people are enjoying themselves battling each other.

Unlike SWGwhere I cannot pvp all day long and gain skill from using my characters abilities.


On the flip sideone can log in and not be bothered with pvp, one can roleplay and pve ifone so desires.


Again, it's a Company decision on if they are willing to lose subscriptions by omitting play style options.

Whether it be losing roleplayers, pve'ers or pvp'ers.

UO is the perfect example of offering all play style choices.

Yes they suffered in the beginning of not knowing exactly what players would want but that's what happens when you're a Pioneer and not a follower.


There's 8 years running of their mmorpg prove that it's a successful business model and successful to the mmorpg player base choices.



You can try to be indignant about it all you want, but if you're a PvPer no one is forcing their playstyle on you. You're just not able to force others anymore.








ok Angamarth here's the million dollar question......


Can you show me where I can level my Jedi at Padawan through pvp?


hence my playstyle has been stifled by those that wish to force their playstyle onto me.


But you miss the entire point of my post and I'll try to make it simple yet again.


You see people like you and the others automatically criticize my posts and label me as a PVP'er who wants ot force my way onto everyone.


But read my posts and you'll see I loathe both the extremists of carebears and L33t pvp'ers.


The only thing I wish to force on mmorpg communities is equality of game play options.


For example, in SWG I can roleplay,and Ican pve my Jedi but there is no game mechanics for me to pvp with a Padawan and gain skill.


Do you and others like you honestly believe that it is fair you can have game play your way but I cannot have it my way ?


If so then you do not want fair equal game play for all. You only want the game to be played the way you desire it to be.


I also do not believe in a pvp /GCW switch. You're either in or you're out.


Do you really think it's ok for someone to go whack your faction members with there being no risk nor possible retribution ?


Again read this post if you don't want to go back and read others of mine.


I state in here that I do enjoy all of what you enjoy in SWG but I also enjoy additional game play.


Nowhere do I advocate pvp only, I advocate fair equal gameplay for all.




Free the pvp Jedi, stop forced pve

If the SWG Devs had any intellect at all, they would of created two different kinds of servers: One type aimed for the PVP'ers and one type aimed for the carebears. This should of been done in the beginning of the game before all the whining started. Instead, SWG has been in a perpetual downfall since the beginning few months of the game.

There is no problem that cannot be solved with the proper application of high explosives.
