This weekend, planning on rolling up my Jedia Guardian on Space Slug...

It's possible even if you're not flagged. I've been griefed twice already on my PvE server. Once on Tatooine and once on Nar Shaddaa during the bonus series. Basically what happened the first time is that a marauder followed me (literally) all over the dune sea. I just ignored him. As soon as I started combat, he flagged himself, and bowadaar hit an AoE scream. So now I'm flagged, fighting an entire group of mobs plus this asshole marauder/companion plus his assassin friend who must have been waiting where I ended up going, because there she came out of stealth. So it's about 8 on 2 at that point. I don't last long. He starts dancing and spitting and all that immature stuff that pvp people get off on over my corpse. I of course go afk (still dead). Come back 5 minutes later, he's gone, after apparently spending a couple of minutes taunting me, and a few seconds later my flag's gone.
The second time I'm doing bonus series quests in the Nar Shaddaa prison area. And this operative starts healing the two strong mobs I'm fighting. It's about 2 am and I'm slow enough at that point that I don't even realize until I die, wondering wtf is going on. So he hasn't hit me at least. I respawn, finish my quest, start to port out, and there he pops out of stealth shivving me (I apparently shot him while tab-targetting during my fight, I didn't even notice I was flagged - that's how late it was and tired I was). Well, I immediately drop cover, hit him with an ambush and a quick shot, his health is half gone and he's running away. I port out, finish my quests, wait for my flag to drop.
And I call it griefing because to me it is. I'm not flagged for PvP, I'm playing on a PvE server, and I just want to be left the **** alone most of the time.
Fortunately it's only happened twice, and I'm around Imperials a lot now that I'm close to 50. They apparently seem to want to be left alone about as much as I do. Although I'm wary to the point of paranoid when I see any around while I'm in combat situations, especially if they're flagged.
