Nope, it's clear why people do it, they vote for their friends or guild members, always.

If you sat on the control point all game and scored high objectives but low everything else, then yeah you didn't do much. But in a clear cut case of topping the charts hugely on every position, it is obvious who is MVP.

You get 50 extra valor and some commendations for every vote received. The valor can add up to a lot if everyone actually used the system. Half of people usually don't vote atall, they just leave, thus screwing over the people who helped the most.

http://imageshack.us/f/21/mvpl.jpg/ It's clear who the MVP was, 370k healing, 170k damage done, highest objectives of players on that team, 11 medals, only 1 death so I was obviously efficient. Yet only 1 vote? Look down to the bottom of the list where the near useless people were, who were not interested in objectives atall. A guy with 2 votes? This guy was MVP? Crappy system, it should auto allocate the MVP's based off performance because people just abuse it.

Over 350 of those crafts were level 49 blue wrist slot armor, trying to get a decent purple schematic out of them. I've also since maxed cybertech and dropped it because it sucks. I also have 2x level 50 characters and a level 25 character, totaling 13 companion crew members, crafting or gathering. When you're the one buying all of the underworld tradin 340 epic missions and all of the blue tier 6 metals from the auction house, you'll understand how i could have crafted so many. Besides the fact that bracers only require 2 of the blue mat to build.

Yeah i craft batches of 15 blue lvl 49 bracers at a time to reverse engineer, every 2 hours or so. I always got 2-4 augment slot great success per batch. The past 2-3 days however, i never get more than 1 augment slot per 25-40 total crafts.

I've crafted over a thousand items, normally you get an augment slot 1 in about 5. For the past 2-3 days it has been less than 1 in 25. Discuss.

Just reverse engineered another 20 blue 49 bracers. I GOT A PURPLE CRIT - I already had the recipe it said, so it was either shield absorb or presence, as these are the only two successes i've had on this item so far. So far out of close to 300 blue lvl 49 bracer crafts, 4 times they went to purple, but 2 of those times they went to the same thing, so i've had shield absorb and presence twice over and it just says "you already know that schematic".

Seems other people have the same issue, just not with artifice/cybertech items.

Out of 250+ reverse engineers on a blue 49 bracer and over a million in wasted mats, so far all i've got is a + presence stat and a + shield rating stat next tier craft. I did also get another recipe crit but it said you already have that recipe so that was also a presence or shield rating stat. The chance to reverse engineer blue 49 armor seems to be 1%. This just 1 piece of armor for 1 class. It seems that Bioware fail.

Example, if the chest drops level 45 items, then it's probably in the 47-50 world and should only be openable by a level 45+ character. I'm sick of seeing level 12 characters 23/7 camping security chest spawns to make loads of money, many are probably gold sellers. The only reason they can even get past the npcs to get to the chest spawns is because you can die, rez on the spot, run past agro to safety.

Wish i "could" have done? You say that as if i no longer can?

Actually the guy farming the chests logged out when he noticed I was sat behind watching him. Seems even if he thinks what he was doing was wrong.

Or they could give the chests a min level requirement for opening them. Solved, no more probable level 13 gold farmer alts farming them 23/7.

It was obviously never intended that a level 13 can earn more money per hour than a level 50 farming non stop, and just by doing basically nothing too. Therefore it is an exploit.

Yeah ignore those people who bot, hack, exploit, nothing to do with it. Let them go about their business /sarcasm.

He makes 50k an hour doing it at level 13, is that normal earnings for a level 13 character?

My level is 50, is there content above that level?

It doesn't require a skill, this is not a slicing item, but a world spawn chest in a level 50 area.

Should i report him? he's in a lvl 45+ zone as a level 13 camping the security chest spawn.

Nerf healers and you also screw up pve, raiding and hard mode instances will be impossible.

And here's some I made earlier: http://imageshack.us/f/545/350kdmg286kheal2.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/f/80/11medals2.jpg/ - 11 medal for the lulz. I hid my class to avoid the "omg nerf X".

I've done 350k dmg and almost 300k healing in the same warzone a few times.

I haven't seen any gatherable nodes of any kind in the pvp area of ilum today, were they removed? Does this has anything to do with the claims of low levels getting the nodes there and getting in trouble?

Really? never knew. I had the same when i tried to make epic implants, 100+ lvl 49 blue implants reverse engineered, and none gave a new schematic.
