Few, but I have missed some events I could easily make it to on purpose, as they did not involve my toon's interests in any way. Yes, it would be cool to go to an event deep in the Empire and mess around, but my character don't care for messing with other's business unless it somehow involved the Fed/Intaki and/or it would be beneficial to the Republic. That last bit is likely going to change soon enough.
Other than that I actively try to avoid becoming a pest like the TS-F folks. Having no real events that revolves around the Sansha they seem to show up at any other event to be a bother and a fly on the wall. Fair enough, whatever floats your boat etc, but that's not my cup of tea, really.
There is a small chance the coming event regarding Heth can involve the Fed. IF so I'll try and be there and take part, but if not, I will actively ignore it.
