I'm probably going to get flamed for whining. Yes I gank people quite a lot. But I do respect the idea that new content is designed to improve the game, and all people should be entitled to enjoy it, especially with our server being in so little numbers lately. So I've barely fought at Bathary. If there was a big PvP battle going on I got involved, but that's about it. There have been lowbies running around without evades but I haven't even bothered.
Unfortunately, not everyone shares this feeling. Today I came to Bathary on my level 32, and was looking at the Collector. An EPN 50 comes and I jump, but low and behold, he sends a tell saying "it's cool". Surprising, because he's an EPN and I'm a Cypherite, but I guess he sees also that new content should be respected. Moments later, I'm attacked by one of the newer members of Causality who usually has a bit too much to say. He attacks, and kills me straight away. Argument ensues.
Anyway, I reconstruct and go to Bathary West. Quite a few people there fighting some spawns. I stand there and wait for some to spawn for me to kill, when suddenly I'm attacked by another member of Causality, who usually talks quite a lot of crap. Argument ensues again. The Zions who were being peaceful there kill him. He says something along the lines of "I don't give a **** about new content". He comes back again later, and the same happens. He even leaves the 50s alone and just goes for me. I switch to my 50, and die, but come back and kill him. More crap talking ensues, and he calls the friend I had trouble with to begin with.
My point is, I understand attacking people at archivists, whilst missioning, during events even. But new content is different. We all want it. We all want to see what it's about. And for the most part people are being peaceful. IcedOut even held an awesome tourney last night while we waited. As hostile as I usually am, it's fun to see people being able to cooperate while we wait for the content. My other problem, is that these people left the 50s alone, and specifically went for me, seeing a lowbie in an unknown faction, who most likely has no way to defend himself. I'll probably get called a hypocrite here, but I attack 50s as much as I attack lowbies, and once again, new content.
So this thread is to ask, what's your stance on this? Should people be able to stay peaceful during new content, even if for a little while.
I probably wouldn't care as much, but the system designed as it is, I can't go and solo these NPCs in some corner of Bathary. I have to stand right in the thick of it.
