I had about 100 of the Strategic and I got them between I think 3.5m and 7m but before that people had dumped a ton of Apprentice and Blockade Runner. Those were terrible as I'd buy them up at 4m and then a few days later they'd be under 2m. I think I got like 20 of the Blockades for around 2.2-2.4m each. It took forever to get rid of them too. I haven't seen any cheap hypercrates since the Strategic Alliance Hypercrate. So whoever was buying them and selling them still has enough credits I guess. Let's hope they go broke so they can crash the market in time for the derpy Kylo Ren lightsabers hypercrate!

I moved it over here but haven't done anything yet. Where's the dudes with the 3m credit hypercrates? I'd like a few hundred and haven't seen them in months. I know people think it is credit farmers but I don't think so. I actually think its Bioware themselves making sure the peeps that don't shop the market have a chance at all the clothes and mounts they paid people to code into the game.

I must be really dumb because I took a screenshot of my character. What's the danger in that?

Twinking, or I guess in a vanity game like this, "decorating" your alts can definitely add up. As someone who has spent stupid amounts on characters I don't even play (see the lvl 33 sentinel with the sparkly conqueror lightsaber and other trinkets) I recommend buying stuff when it is on sale. People pretty much give stuff away when a pack is new. Crystals can be especially cheap. The desert green and farmhand blue crystals were insanely cheaper than any other crystals I'd seen before and I snagged a bunch. They wouldn't be good for any of my characters now but maybe in 2 years when Bioware finally adds in the Wookiee Paladin I have been asking for, I'll have the right colors for the lightsaber. If in two years time there are still no Wookiee Paladins (****) then those colors will probably sell for a big premium and then when someone is trying to get 3m credits for a crystal you bought for under 100k, you can be a hero to someone and sell it for 1.5m. If you are a big time hoarder then I also recommend devoting a character to each type of junk. I've got a character that stashes mounts, one for emotes and titles, two for color crystals(blues/greens go to one and the other gets the rest), another for pets, two for armors (one gets random pieces and the other gets the boxes of armor). Before we could stack higher than 99, I even had characters stashing conquest materials. As I said, you can buy tons of cheap stuff when the new packs come out and save them either for yourself or to sell later when the price is high and then use that money to buy cooler cheap stuff from the newer pack.

Here's a shot of my Jung Ma alt's bank balance. My Wallet I used to keep a thread on the Jung Ma forums to see who the 1% were. Sadly, there was mostly anecdotes and none were breaking 200 million (though I knew there were those with more as there were a few times where I'd spend that much in a day buying from the same player). So who's got me beat? I've got about 500 million credits already on Shadowlands and this 2 billion will be coming over soon. I'm hoping a few others will share some screenshots. Give me some competition and encourage me to log in and play that GTN. For those who are about to cry about RL cash being wasted on a video game, that is not the source of these credits. I've just been buying and selling since pretty much day one (dat earring vendor on DK!). I have bought cartel coins but I've used those almost exclusively for unlocked dances, mounts and color crystals and I'm sitting on 8000cc or so at the moment with nothing to buy except server transfers. That's just my monthly sub 550 stockpiling. Let the bragging begin! Screenshots are your friend! Also, if you are afraid of being slammed by beggars, at least on Jung Ma--none of the 5 players (thats about the server population) ever begged/annoyed me after posting so you ought to be safe too.

OK, I really haven't been playing much...since December and about once a week since the 65 patch. I broke 2 billion credits on Jung Ma. I've still got at least 500 million more tied up in inventory and I've got another 500 million credits on Shadowlands. I think it's safe to say I won the non-existent Monopoly achievement for Jung Ma! http://nerdimports.com/photos/2billioncredits.jpg I will very likely be transferring that wealth to the Shadowlands--it will be fun to mess with a server economy where there's actually people...assuming I log in haha. I'll probably keep a couple hundred on an alt here for pocket change just in case I end up crawling back to my home server.

There would probably be more people in WZs if they knew the bad people were being griefed by the devs and unable to aggravate them as often. Allods actually had a pretty cool anti-jerk check. If you weren't doing anything in the WZ for too long you'd be booted. So if you were going to do nothing in a WZ you'd at least have to do so while guarding an objective to earn medals. There's a chance that the sin stealthing up might turn back seeing me hopping around and you standing and doing nothing. I'd take your forced participation over in that situation over a 7v8 any day. Especially if you got slapped with a 30-minute queue penalty for no movement/actions for 60 seconds.

Guild Name : Nightmare Squadron Faction : Imperial Focus : PvP, PvE Website : http://www.nightmaresquadron.com or http://ufos.enjin.com/ Notes: Primarily CST/EST Prime Time. Teamspeak server. We love peanut butter but if you have a peanut allergy that is fine.

That does suck. If you get kicked within the first 2 minutes it'd be great if they could not penalize you. I assume the reason it exists is to punish the AFKers, Ninja Looters and mouthy jerks. I wish WZs would penalize people who leave before the match is over as well.

Bingo! If he was man enough to admit he was wrong, he would probably be man enough to handle pvp...even casual PvP like in SWTOR.

I believe he said "noob" not "newb." Which probably once was the same word just spelled differently for 1337 speak, they mean two different things now. A newb is as you said, a new or inexperienced player. A noob is someone who has been around and for whatever reason has failed to grasp strategies, concepts, etc. As far as PvP in SWTOR--this game was not designed for true world pvp.

Thanks for the advice!

It can be hard to compare values even among different servers. I've bought cheap items on server a and sold them on server b for a big profit. I've also bought from server b and sold on server a for a good profit because markets are not consistent.

So I know buying/selling SWTOR credits is a great way to get your account banned. But is it also against the rules to use it either for contests or to commission SWTOR works? I've got more credits than I need and could ever spend. But even my stick figures look bad. I was thinking of trying to recruit someone who could maybe take a few screenshots of my character and turn it into some cool stuff. I thought I'd even start a post on the forums. But I don't want to get banned. In older games like EverQuest it was not an issue (and EQ was owned by Sony, the company that began a lawsuit against eBay for the sale of EQ currency on that site). So anyone know for sure? Should I inquire via ticket in game maybe? It is hard to Google for an answer to this as search results show sites I don't want to see.

I'm thinking the dev that coded the butt scratching is an old EverQuest dev. I apologize for the terrible polygon graphics, this game is from 1999 and my response to the macarena... What's Going On?
