You realize they can add fun things in a way that it is a lot harder to exploit or simply not worth the effort to right? Also how are people suppose to get some type of fun out of chests when they might never see them thanks to teleport botters? At least with the slot machines someone botting won't affect someone else from being able to get some enjoyment out of it.

Yea, clearly people are complaining because they don't have their own teleport botting program to farm chests for them 24/7. Playing with cheaters and getting spammed to buy their credits is fun! Not to mention all the credits they are putting into the economy is great!

See I'm not really worried about gold sellers abusing the slots. The reality is most players are going to be using the slots from all this attention. The value of the items you can sell will crash so most likely gold sellers won't be using this. That doesn't mean they cannot use it in the future though. Like if prices raise back up or bioware is silly enough to add more profitable stuff to it. The main issue is the fact that their design choices make it so easy for botters. Keep in mind credit sellers aren't the only ones that bot. Your average player can bot this in private with a macro program. I'm sure most people are already botting it cause who wants to sit there and mindlessly click for hours when they can easily do it with a macro program. Don't you think it is bad design to add a mechanic that people can easily bot and will bot because its boring while also destroying the value of crafting materials? The people that benefit and get enjoyment most from this is botters.

Nah they will still use the chests. They give tons of pure credits and no other work is required aka easy mode. They spam on junk accounts but they bot and trade on higher level paid accounts.

Why is it that bioware adds and keeps game mechanics that heavily benefit botters/hackers? Security chests have been a problem since launch and while tweaks have been made (reducing credits/respawn times). These are being farmed by teleport botters. Basically giving them easy credits to spam us to buy in fleet. Nothing has ever been done to fix/stop this. I frankly don't care if chests are outright removed from the game. They really don't add much to the game itself. They benefit credit sellers more than legit players and hurt the economy. It might not be bad if they were very active on banning from player reports. The problem is they might not ban the account for months if they ever do. Even then its really silly to have the players play bot police when bioware can do something to stop it. Now they add contraband slot machines which are basically like security chests. Instead of maybe adding more mechanics and making it a fun mini game while also making it harder for bots to be able to do it. They have the same dull boring right click on it mechanic. Yay now anyone can bot in the privacy of their very own home! Worst part is any one can do it with a simple macro program. Are you guys seriously just trying to kill the game at this point? The devs really can't be that clueless to how bad this stuff is.
