Is PvP IO farming taboo?

As far as I can tell, it would function exactly the same as farming for reputation for that badge, 'cept it's for recipes. But I've seen people condemning people for doing it. Was that exceptional, or is it actually taboo to farm these?

there would be no reason to farm them if they dropped at a reasonable rate.


Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

someone will always complain about something, whether it's a FoTM toon, or PL'ing, or just whatever they wanna whine about. If you have the patience to farm pvp io's go for it, make lots of money and IF someone whines, f em. After they whine about how you farm pvp io's, let them whine about how you wrecked them with ur toon that has all pvp io's. In fact, I'll help you farm pvp ios lol. @deus draco

while we are on the subject... just how the hell do you get one of those IO's anyway? If I understand correctly, you have to defeat another player... but when and where? Do they only drop in zones? Do you have to do it in RV or can you get them in SC as well? Does your toon have to be level 50 to begin with.. Oh hell.. is there just a thread on the whole thing Im missing???

Yes, you get them by defeating other players. They drop in all PvP zones, as well as arena matches. You do not have to be level 50, they're like any other recipe drop and will drop at your level.

I am far from the best person to say for sure, but I am pretty sure they no longer drop from arena matches. Zone only.

They do still drop in arena matches. That's how a lot of people PvP farm. Set up a 30 minute match with about six players, and everyone takes turns killing each other.
