forced to play pvp

Bowbender

I used to play the missions only and never had to worry about diamond stealers because I never played a pvp. Now I have been attacked and diamonds taken without ever playing a pvp type match. All my old drones and parts are gone too. Guess they are going to force the issue.

Pretty much. It's almost impossible to play this game for any period of time without being involved with PvP, as a raider, a target, or both. Glu designed the framework to propagate competition and conflict, so unless you either embrace it or quit, you'll be very frustrated.
