Cheers guys, I do the same...Troopers always get my priority over PvP.
Also, I stay away from attacking any of my troopers in PvP...more like a gentlemen thing where you don't attack your friends!
I also try not to attack forum regulars who are not my troopers...I saw Patric and Schadenfreud show up in my arena attack list yesterday, and I stayed well clear from you guys. Besides the obvious fact of most likely getting absolutely destroyed by you guys, I just couldn't bring myself to attack fellow forum mates!
Cheers!
