If they no longer appear on their list, what happens if they decide they want to do those missions?|

Turn PvP contacts into "Unlockable" contacts that appear when players reach a certain level. Allow players to decline to accept PvP contacts as being part of their list (see recommendation 1) 3. Drop the "Fed Ex" style PvP solicitation missions that players get with every alt they make. The first two suggestions are about cleaning up contact lists further, and giving players choices about shaping their contacts list. The second and third suggestions may require a change in thinking on the part of the devs, but hopefully they'll be open to doing it. There's a line between promoting PvP and badgering people about it. When every alt a player makes is given more than one "Fed Ex" style PvP solicitation mission, it feels like badgering. As well, by now every player knows about PvP and the overwhelming majority decline to participate; being badgered multiple times about PvP zones with every character made may irritate players, but it isn't going to change their minds about PvP. |
As someone who used to hate PvP back in i6 i7ish area to someone who loved it in i11 and i12, I might have been inclined to remove people from my contact list then.

Probably what would happen before theye were automatically added to the lists. Back when we could just drop the mission to talk to Wincott, folks could drop the mission at the time, then if they changed their mind, go talk to him and he would hand out missions normally.

The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Every time one of my Alts gets one of those Fed Ex PvP missions I just want to go all LOLBAT on their posteriors and scream "DO NOT WANT!"
I support this suggestion.

I think PvP zone contacts should pop up a la Midnighter and AE contacts.
