I believe the dev team should invoke a full investigation into big guild and groups regarding credit selling, and a full closure of a guild in case of awareness or participation that some higher ranking guildmembers did this should also be possible. Personal infos like credit cards etc can be used to track down scammer, perhaps other games non swtor related are affected by the same people. Credits should stay the same and with time inflation will possibly drop

" We should be rewarded for encouraging so many people to play over all these years but instead we're being punished! " first of all, lol youre not, there are larger communities that dont care how long some players play second, I agree partially, the guilds should not have to hit any cap for any levels, also levels dont matter anyway and most people are kinda happy about it. But, there should be a larger gap, perhaps by the number of players in a guild. The more players a guild has, the larger the rewards is, that would solve the issue and not cause any problems between guilds. Why it is relevant if there is a old guild is beyond reasoning, there are some players who are in new guilds while those players themselves are since the beta version active. Also newer communities or guilds that work together are meanwhile multiple times more active in the content activity rather than "large" guilds. Most large guilds do lazy rampages 24/7 instead of casually doing them, which is also something the game needs to fix to diversify the activities, it doesnt represent any quality of an "old" guild.

i have a suggestion: do NOT touch master loot? Greetings, a concerned citizen

Same for me, As a GM and member of a what is considered medium guild, noone, and i mean noone except those who had a monopoly and lost it are crying about conquest, which is not even an indicator of how "good" to put it subjective, a guild really is. Its just a made up important thing. And considering that You can easily enter one of those guilds and leave as soon as You have Your achievement shows how low this section of the self proclaimed "community" really is. I hope ppl like You dont even bother, its a circus and the leaders of those "big" guilds are the main entertainment. The only thing that is important is that small and medium guilds get their cut and reward for the real effort. What the big guilds have to complain about is like watching 2 Billionaires accuse each other of scamming one another while their status on how they got there is questionable. It can be seen half a year ago when some , and i sadly cant name him/her, representative of a particular Discord forwarded " evidence" and created this chaos for small and medium guilds, which leads us to today, where we, again, face the same people being dissatisfies while players like us have it hard to get our weekly/daily reward and move on in our live. Really pathetic display of self proclaimed "leadership" and "experience" of several members here that i recognize . And yes i agree that at least the thing where ppl join a guild and have to wait until tuesday so that Conquest points count for the guild have only been a disaster towards smaller and medium guilds and another display of failure of those who were complaining in the first place. I refuse , and im luckily not alone, refuse to be represented by opinions of certain people here who brought this mess in the first place.

What else would you use bots for beside ninja invites and crafting, please explain? maybe rotation bots is the only thing beside the rest. go on sunday/monday and you will get 10 invites even if you decline, dunno how long you sayed there, its a bot that goes from planet to planet and goes throught eh whole who tab multiple times i will repeat myself again, since you dont read what i write, the changes from 6.1 iirc are because of ninja invites and craft botting, evidence was partially provided by me as well.

Greetings Our group of notorious coomander/battlemaster hunters would like to suggest , like in the current version 6.3.1, changes perhaps for female sith coomanders/battlemasters. We like the bald looks on the new ones that you just recently made and suggest a similar look for female ones perhaps in the future. Perhaps it would be good to also implement some groaning sounds, like a intense tennis match if that is possible. We hunt a very big chunk of them, so we apriciate, if possible, some sort of variation in looks and sounds. Thank You

guys there are so called Battlemasters/commanders they drop purple framework plans once you kill the master ones and 12 encryptions, or 10% chance (allegedly) on veteran ones, which also drop a maximum of 12 encryptions. Its also a good way in making a ton, and i mean a ton of money. If Youre on the Darth Malgus server hit my name up on imp side if you need help with them

What on earth are you sending me right now, i know better than you how this grace period works, me and other ppl who have an issue are GMs themselves. Yes, ithis guild kicks players before reset and sends ninja invites to 1000 players a minute. Dont believ me, make a new toon on a beginner player on Darth Malgus and get 3 times the same guild invite in under a minute. they kick members also who dont do a certain amound of conquest in 1 day. I want Your answer since you pour in quotes from th devs, why do You think the made the changes in the first place in the last big patch? the ninja invite issue has NOT been solved, the guild has only adapted its bot to the new grace period and he problem still persists. And the craftbotting should also Never be brought back, daily rewards should be enough. And its interesting that none of You on the other side of the argument arent fighting for infinity missions that involve activity instead of crafting. Thats lazy and weak

no its an all game issue? Are you now accepting it as an issue with crafting and ninja invites or not? please make sense

You must be either deluded or not aware what Youre talking about. NOTHING has been stopped with ninja invites and kicking. in fact the guild we all i assume know about has kicked in 1 day 1800 players in their main and side guilds, has sent 100 players per minute at once, we have logs from the past month to this point, and since youre badly uninformed, from the reset on tuesday, all members are considered ingame full members and conquest counts for them. As of the "proof" ,the proof has been provided with how a certain guild was macro botting , in video format, how the bot is installed, how it manipulates conquest and how one player managed to do 30+ million conquest. However we provided 2 times on this forums names and actions made by players and we got a warning from the devs. Kindly complain to them, not to me, i say whatever i want.

Bringing conquest into crafting is Your bias as well, do You naively expect that everyone would agree with that and those who dont should shut up? Botting is a crafting and ninja inviting issue.

are you joking? the ninja invite and kicking was NOT solved or sorted AT ALL. instead you set a bot to ninja invite on monday so on the next day during the reset the members count as full members. The grace period is the fault of insecure GMs of those big guilds who have caused nothing but headaches and problems because of their insecurities. BOTTING is and will always will be an issue, they could for example, just like with mails, make a cooldown system with guild invites, NOT a stupid grace period. This would prevent a bot from sending invites to 100 players a minute. An the macro botting where you made 10+ mil conquest is thank god removed, again, play the game for conquest instead of crafting for conquest, this is ridiculous.

"uh oh, but my small family guild suffers from not having crafting as a conquest reward" is also a argument i saw , which is laughable and ridiculous. My guild works with 20 smaller guilds together, none of them do crafting for conquest or in very very rare instances they start crafting a bit but focus more on OPs and FP activity, or even warzones for the more stablished players. Same people introduced grace period to "save precious conquest", which is just another reason to smash your face in the wall.

It should be put more on activity and less on single player activity, with crafting being the least important thing. I wish the Warzone rewards would be bigger for example. But we see a rise in other guilds on the leaderboards that are not the "classic" ones on top all the time I also think that more planets should be available, it would diversify the leaderboard and not make it monopolistic as it is. Now for the other changes necessary to make it more balanced, not a single person has suggested anything and most people arguing about this debacle are the same people coming from those large guilds defending crafting, which is hilarious. Perhaps a public poll for everyone to choose what changes they wish with info on why and how this is asked would be a great idea instead of back-paddling to the same nonesense from the same player-base that believes is representing some sort of community. The biggest change problem i see however is this stupid grace period, suggested by the same large guilds. instead of making a fundamental blockade against ninja invites. And that is a much bigger issue than crafting something and getting millions of conquest points from it.

1 point the evidence was provided in video format with how the cheating/botcrafting was done/installed/exploited. If You want to deny evidence, go ahead. 2 point You, for the second time, ignore that i mention CZ 198 as an example. You also ignore that You can do that daily. If You install a 50 Gigabyte game to play it 10 minutes to finish something then youre doing it wrong. 3 point You now admit that You do something else than crafting, You just confirm what i say by just framing it in a different argument 4. Switch instances I also need to mention that if it doesnt change anything, then it can stay as it is. The items You craft in the game are a reward on its own, thats what crafting should be first and second only a conquest objective.

my "small" guild hits 5 mil cq in 1-2 days, i think you mistake me for the other ppl who think conquest is hard to get

well i want my CQ rewards and not join those guilds who already established themselves in a shady way. However i fully agree with your second part

And i say it was exploited, You just dont know how, and evidence provided to the devs changed the system because of this, give a thanks to the big guilds if youre bothered. there are 20 other planets you can do exactly the same CQ or even more like on CZ198, youre obviously ignoring this as an example rather than a solution. crafting was exploited and good that they made it a daily instead of an infinite mission. Also how is crafting less boring than doing dailies? this makes 0 sense. And what do you mean "too many people" there are several instances on each planet if there are "too many people". I have no clue what youre talking about

how about no? Big guilds have exploited crafting to the last possible way. the changes are good, You do a CZ198 daily run and you are done with conquest in 10 minutes

1. You have a bad team and dont know spots where to pull it to be safe 2. Master looter is for guilds to get the loot for profit, changing it during the fight i would agree, that prevents it from getting ninja looted, but entirely removing is is paranoid. 3. as someone who hunts those commanders wit 150+ purple plans each month i disagree with the sentiment all together, you need a better organisation, team, tactic and overview. We had for months a war with the biggest guilds and we won because we were better organised and prevented them form taking any commanders because they were harrassing us, same with some small kids trying to interfere, we circumvented it and it works till this date absolutely fine. What i would add is that every guild on the leaderboard should be able to drop the shields. this would give more guilds a possibility to drop them and not wait for the timer to run out and would make this part of the game far more flexible and accessible. Always its always the same 2 3 boring guilds who got with shady tactics to the top the "owners" of those planets.

Im happy im banned from the guild UlaVii, despite never being in Your guild or ever wanting to enter.( i can see it by opening the guild window and having a blank page) I fully agree with the people here who think that this is a childish attempt to use some powerful tools for the insignificant few. It screams laziness and paranoia, which can be entertaining whatever the changes might be in the end.

I now what small guild do because i work together with 4 small guilds, NONE rely on crafting, rather on activities such as FPs , heroics, OPses and WZs. And when i started my guilds and revived mine a year ago i also didnt craft as a primary source for conquest, simple as that. And back in the day conquest was even more difficult. You STILL get crafting conquest points after the changes so Your arguments are invalid. II wuld even go as far and say that they can highten the conquest reward on a daily basis for crafting or even weekly, BUT doing it on infinity as it was is a bad idea and its good that its changed. But again, why do You suggest that people are trolls because they disagree with You?

" So even if people were botting, who cares?" interesting take, so You basically dont care about cheating? Good job, just confirms why those changes are a VERY good thing happening right now

then you should, right now take Your time and reread carefully what the CHANGES are. You can still make plenty conquest points from crafting, BUT you will now finally make more from actually game activities that dont involve clicking a repetitive things that in the end make more then a group of 10 people doing a community activity of any other sort. Also You didnt answer my other questions i also raised, why?

the evidence, screenshots and proof in general disagrees with You. Noone calls You a whiner now, or am i allowed to call You that now as well and be immature about it too? please treat others with respect, just because You disagree with them
