Just because a point sails far over your head (to the tune of The Imperial March) doesn't mean that it is an invalid one.

Regarding the PR, I didn't mention that specific case.

I don't dig PR (or at all if I can help it) so I don't know what the comparitive difficulty level between the PvP and non-PvP zones is like at the moment, nor do I know which particular QLs are in which zones, but I think an expedient trek route does pass through the same area which is probably a slightly more controversial case.

IIRC forest supremes are, however, only available in Nexus, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I hate to do this but... If you are talking about treks being effected by PvP and then you say this...
grimjim wrote:I don't agree that there is consent in any of the other instances. So long as content of any kind is tied to PvP then it isn't really consensual IMO, unless there's an alternate route to accessing the content, even if it's a more difficult one.

There is alternative routes which you can avoid all PvP areas by using.

[edit] Now forest sups I have no idea on :p

Oh no, on occasion you make a point which is worth the pixels its written on and I think I've prolly even backed you up on things when I think your right. Its just a very rare sight. :p

What I'm talking about is posts like you made in the deleted thread yesterday which make nooo sense at all and just made me and others laugh. Such a shame it got deleted, I hope some people remember the one I'm talking about. ;)

As much as I wish there was something for us to rally behind, those who do feel a calling aren't getting much back from it. Whats being touted as faction is often just the players/guilds who most suit your playstyle. When Infinity left there was no honorable Kamist guild to take the mantle (and it hurt the gameplay). Many that had called themselves Kamists left to not be associated with the most active kamists.
awww... Lub ewe too, DT

PvP tag, entering a pvp PR region (the mats found within are found elsewhere in the game, therefore this contents of these regions are not limited to them. If you don't consent to the pvp, you go to a non-pvp region), or entering a pvp area (such as the arena) is consenting to PvP. They give a warning in all cases (when entering the region/area or when your tag is clicked on or if you just hover the mouse of it). The old lands is a grey area for me. I agree that those who took part were sort of forced into pvp, but when we finally found out what it was we were supposed to do, the non-pvpers (the diggers/crafters) were the most important part of it (so it semi-made up for it). Anyway, old lands is done with, so no point in arguing it anymore.

as for rundll, its not biggie. The things hes done IG have been done by many others. I, for example, killed diggers in the old lands, I've killed them in the PR, I've even patrolled the PR regions looking for diggers when at war with other guilds (in those Honda Accord days). Its all part of the game and not something to attack or put them on trial. If they are in a pvp zone or pvp tagged, then its fair game.

As for the sig, I don't recall exactly the thread where it came from, but it was probably one of the many that we have had similar to this one, where the issue at hand is what equals consent. The pro-pvpers point to the warnings issued before entering pvp areas or tagging on. The anti-pvpers all point to aspects of the game that are centered around it (OPs and the old lands event. PR doesn't count as that content is found elsewhere in non-pvp regions and is therefore not centered around pvp). The battle rages on both sides and has done for a long, long time. All the arguments made here have been made before and is the main reason why the first two pages of this thread were filled with threads like "here we go again"

*shakes fist at the gms* thought i told u 2 close it, now he has replied

well the only main attraction to the PvP zones in PR is the super nodes, and in the same seasons there is a few other spots in the non PvP zones, and since i think that the non PvP zones are ALOT bigger there is another advantage to the non PvP zones

And as previously stated earlier in this topic, trekers are usually safe as pker's are scared 2 try against mutliply opponents, and also it is safe due to the little time spent in Pr itself and the time spent there is constantly moving(hard to pinpoint location)

and the dictionaries were pretty crap, my mum gave a much better explanation of expedient


Edit: in other words what morgy said, its kinda easy to spot who is a history major :P

If it truly was consensual of course, there wouldn't be any of these arguments. *shrug*.
