catchdeathwalker Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Since my last post was DELETED by a mod because I posted a players name, even though he was a CREDIT FARMER/SELLER. I am reposting it without his name so people travel this area to kill him so he cannot continue ot bot. I can't post a name, but you will see and it's very OBVIOUS! Coords: 330, -8 on Ilum (Right around there. There is a broken down small vehicle there) Cool chest with money/item drop too =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariacan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Wait a second, so this crap goes on without notice and bioware is banning people for saying "I'm 12 and what is this?" I think they need to get their priorities straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need to get their priorities straight. someone saying "I'm 12 and what is this?". Bioware is legally obligated by LAW to ban the person due to the CIPA (child internet protection act). If you say that in ANY forum that requires you to be 13 or older... you risk permanent account suspension even though its a meme (the government does not exclude memes). Also Bioware HAS been banning farmers in Ilum, but then the community overreacts saying "OMG BIOWARE IS BANNING LOWBIES THAT VISIT ILUM *** IS THIS LOLOLOLOL" so yeah...

failr Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Its okay, im sure that bot makes 3 times that while doing the chest also, by sending his companions to do slicing every time he relogs back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they banned LIVE players that went their and hand looted chests. They ARE NOT banning the gold farmers hacking and botting. People have been reporting players for over 2 weeks and they are still there looting chests. Edited January 23, 2012 by KipMalice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achromatis Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Welcome to MMOs, where developers support botting and gold farming because theyre technically paying customers.

Erevan_Kindelar Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Wanted: Organised PvP groups to form on a regular basis and protect loot chest spawns from Imperial Chinese raiders.

Goretzu Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Get back to us when "It is an internet meme, your honor" is an effective legal defense in a court of law.

Sun-Runner Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If it were illegal to say something that wasn't strictly true, there wouldn't be a politician or business man left outside of prison. And its' not illegal to say it. It just has consequences for EA/Bioware if they don't act on it. The speaker isn't the one who gets hit with the fine.

The speaker isn't the one who gets hit with the fine. Yeah but BAN ? Really ? Without confirmation or something ? Is it so much to ask for ID scan before acting ? He DID told that he is above 13 when he register. And in forum he use INTERNET MEM. I sometimes think that forum mods don't understand english or have no sense of humor. Last time I got warned it was because someone write a post about something that I didn't agree and at the end he wrote "now trolls will show up and say that I'm wrong" so I started my post with "Ok, if you ask I will be trolling" and THEN i describe in polite and serious way why I disagree presenting contr arguments. But mod just saw that "Ok, if you ask I will be trolling then" and throw me a warning because of "trolling". Seriously - how stupid they can be sometimes ? Same situation here. They don't understand english or have no sense of humor. Don't know what's worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He DID told that he is above 13 when he register. And in forum he use INTERNET MEM. If they do remove the potential minor's access, they won't be fined. If they don't remove the potential minor's access, they can potentially be fined. I'd ban the potential minor. I wouldn't want to be fined. Those fines aren't small! If the potential minor isn't a minor, the potential minor can easily call the customer support line and request for their account to be unbanned. At which point asking for and receiving proof that they aren't a minor (which can be kept on record to defend EA/Bioware against being fined) is viable. The priority is damage control. :shrugs: I see nothing wrong with their actions in that case. ... As for your particular situation? No idea. I'm not a mod.

HoyaPooch Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I just read this post and decided to see if we had a bot on Dark Reaper. So I went out there and sure enough a level 12 Merc just standing there non-responsive looting over and over again. I tried to spam click the chest but I can't beat the bot. It seems the chest spawns every 4 or 5 minutes. Must be making a killing. Opened a ticket but doubt anything will come of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thulmagne Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Reported around 40 of these they are all over Ilum and Corellia , easy to spot just see how many are on that 'instance' you are in, theres usually 3-7 of them. Saw this trend around 3 days after prerelease and they are still there, nothing have been done, also a bunch of lvls 50's been doing this saw one guy who's been on the same chest for around 5 days now havnt moved a inch.

DoctorBarber Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've been adding names onto a running ticket for the last few days. Caught 5 people farming at this same spot so far. I've never seen the same person two days in a row, so I can only hope the bans are going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
