All this really means is the event will have us in one place fending off an attack rather than instigating the attack ourselves.
Which is really the only practical way to handle a "battle" in an MMO anyway unless new mechanics are specifically created. Think about how many FATEs and leves we have that are basically us defending one piece of ground against something.
