Aye, I had a similar experience when a hero and villain friend were working together to get the "Capture 1000 pillboxes badge" by standing at one pillbox, and repeatedly taking control of pillbox over and over in turn. I wouldn't mind as much, but it gets very annoying when,
"Heroes control a pillbox"
"Villains control a pillbox"
flashes on your screen repeatedly.
So me and a fellow blaster both went to stop it by duoing the stone brute which was doing it, and we then got shouted at over broadcast for being "unfair".
Odd.
well, u cant stop ppl from helping eachother over the boundry of laws (imo its heroes that are corrupt), but attacking them is ok in my book.. it is a PvP zone, and u venture there at own risk... there is no 'dont attack me, im ....' option in PvP-zones... even tho i do affiliate with heroes at times, or just act as a bystander, i dont get upset if some1 kills me.. its the way its supposed to be 
Keep killing any1 u can/please/want in PvP zones, and ignore ppl oppinions.. if they arent participating in PvP, then hero/villain base is a good place to be
Been in there myself alot of late just so i can get the badges and have of course been attacked from time to time, imo thats fair the villian dosent know im there to collect badges and after its a pvp zone.
So in any pvp zone attack who you want when you want but one thing that i dont agree with is causing someone debt its happend to me in RV i was attacked by some npc villians and while i was fighting them a stalker came and AS me i was then held by the npc and then killed, im was on my lvl 50 so np for debt but others may not be so lucky on both sides.
Certain players have some very bizarre ideas about the PvP zones, especially the badge hunters. They seem to want to contrive situations which remove all challenge from acheiving anything in the zone.
I'm quite happy to provide a challenge to anyone indulging in that nonsense since that is the whole point of the zone. Don't try to apply reason to CoH/CoV players.

Just came from RV....and im a bit puzzled.
While i was in there i got the "Villains control pillbox" msg.."great" i thought. So i grab a heavy and head on over.
Once i get there, there is a lone Villain on the pillbox, so i send in my heavy (as you do), then get told to STOP by a group of Heroes saying "he's helping us get the temp powers" :/ .
Sorry, but this is a joke right?

Yup, its a joke. Go ahead and keep going with your heavy next time.
I've said it before I'll say it again.
If I'm in a PvP zone I WILL attack whoever I please when I please, I expect the same to come back at me.
No-one has the right to dictate what you do in a PvP zone. Ever.
A quote nearly as old as time but 'You enter a PvP zone at your own risk. You WILL be attacked by other players' This applies to everyone, including 'Badgehunters'
I'll get my badge when I have ACTUALLY got 1000 pillboxes, no rush, they're not going anywhere.

Yes, there's one for 10, 100 and 1000. Very clever way of getting it, but very annoying whoever's in there.

As a badgehunter I would like to defend myself. The 3rd Pillbox badge is stupid for many reason the main one being team controls dont count meaning to make any serious progress you have to solo, which I am willing to do nice influence, big insps, lvl 53 SOs but still slow progress.
I've swapped pillboxes when its quiet and theres no pvping going on (I've found the majority of villains are using the heavies and lvl 54 boss turrets as a good source of xp). Theres nothing stopping anyone killing the villain thats helping, its annoying but what can you do, but also consider that Recluses Victory is very much in its infancy as a pvp zone if you scare off the people PvEing or Badging its quite often empty, so if your after some pvp you're probably better off going to sirens. Also wheres the fun defeating someone not intrested in pvp, its like shooting fish in a barrel. I do understand peoples frustations as a pvper myself it sucks when theres no one to fight but give RV and it will be a very active and fun zone to be around - also when its full there will be no chance of pillbox swapping which in part is why I'm trying to make progress.
On badgehunting in pvp zones generally I find it sad that people use badge hunting as an excuse, if your in a zone your open to pvp live with it, I have never complained about getting ganked while badging its part of badging in a pvp zone.

See though, your one of the good players who accept that your in a PvP zone and are open attack. I would happily Total Focus your friend without fear of abuse 
Btw, have you got that badge yet Phil?

Thats one of the main problems with having so much PvE in the zone, Tbh I'd count to 3 then go after them

If I found myself alone in RV and someone was doing something like badge hunting or testing or so on I would leave them alone. Simply put I would sooner pvp with someone who wants to thank grab a kill from an unprepared target, wheres the sport?

Are we now supposed to just wait till its convinent for others before we attack?
People need to understand that they cant just monopolize pvp zones like this. So its either ignore their requests and attack, and become "the bad guy" or just sit there or log out and come back on when its convenient to them.
