Hmm...are you sure about the ganking thing being harassment? I mean really PvP is bascially no holds barred cut your nads off with a rusty can top environment. Ganking seems to be what happens everyday in PvP IDK maybe im missing something important?
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Camping a re-spawn or zone in point has always been considerd griefing for PVP in the majority of MMOs I've played. Once you've you've fully zoned; or are back on your feet (and no, not necessarily fully recovered); you're fair game and can be ganked to the opponet's heart's content. 
I see thanks for the clarification.

thats why in most games... and I dont pvp here so not sure about coh... but for the first 30 seconds after you zone, you are worht ZERO pvp points since very often your toon zones before the loading screen goes away and you have no control over your toon...
Well, ok, continuing with that, then if you went all "completely literal" on it, and added it at the end like you suggest...
"I'm sorry to inform you, but "god" doesn't own this game or the rights to it, or exist."
Then mine, in as much as the commas can work both ways, is as valid as yours.
Or, to shorten them both:
"I'm sorry to inform you or exist."
"Then mine is as valid as yours."

Mission tips says you don't have to use the new IO enhancements, but a new player can't compete with a veteran without them.

Roll alts on a different server, or transfer characters to a different server.
That way when you are having problems on one of the most populated and stressed servers, you'll have another server to play on until it stabilizes.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Okay, let's turn this around on you. Can you come up with a way to curb the farming that won't hinder 'real' PvP'ers from getting the recipes?
[/ QUOTE ]
I'll assist on that one. Opposite faction farmers stay in drone holes in either base.
Prior to PvP NGE I thought most drone holes got fixed (by adding additional drones) on something resembling a regular basis. The hole in the villain base coverage is particularly striking since it's almost right on top of the villain mission contact.
A couple new drones should solve things I'd think (where "solve"="keep PvP in the zone proper, not in the base"). Or perhaps some bored Malta sappers.

Have you tried going to Bloody Bay lately? If thats not ambuse, I don't know what is. Can't even enter zone cause everyone is farming at the entrance.

I have never had any trouble getting into the zones b/c if ppl are farming they are fixed on their target and have better things to do than chase you....

If you really think about it, the game is not fair to new players. Mission tips says you don't have to use the new IO enhancements, but a new player can't compete with a veteran without them.
[/ QUOTE ]
you are new...who would have guessed someone who played longer could be better than you...and i cant believe you used the mission tips screen as a reference point
[ QUOTE ]
Then a new player can't get the new enhancements cause they can't fight for them in the zones and can't buy them cause they cost too much on the Black Market. Would that make a new player want to contunie playing the game??

the best response i can give you is....this would be you in the gaming world if you were a new player and got all of the best stuff with no knowledge or effort... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=697to70_IRQ

If you were really a PVPer you'd think of them as "TARGETS".
Seriously, your in a PVP zone. They are in the PVP zone. If they do something you don't like go punch them in the face.

May be, but you see, power without perception is spiritually useless and therefore of no true value!

To the OP - Are you certain you aren't confusing the MMO term Spawn/Zone-In Point Camping with Farming?
MMO Farming = Reppeating the exact same content over and over because it yeilds a specific type of reward the player wants again and again.
MMO Spawn/Zone-In Point Camping = Other PVPers sitting at a re-spawn or player zone in point ready to ambush (or gank) re-spaning or zoning players before they get a chance to orient themselves.
FYI - The second is considered harrassment by the Devs and can be reported.
