Tibulant Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Bioware please do something to stop the level 10-20 credit farmers on illum. They all have gibberish names, they sit in friendly npcs and do not move, just harvest chests over and over. This would be a very simple fix, make illum a level 45-50 only world, or even level 50 only. Its absolutely ridiculous these accounts haven't been banned or the practice hasn't been stopped yet.

Rhaeton Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Did you record the names of these people and send a notice? If so it's out of your hands, if not, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicPath Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 How is it even possible? Thats what I want to know. How can a level 10 even farm a level 50 area when any hit is a instant kill and all nodes are near mobs for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch_TwentyTwo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I took my level 30 to Ilum yesterday for a look around and it surprises me that any level 10's can stay alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheedragon Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Can you even get there at level 10?You need your ship to get there and you need a certain level to do the quests required to get your ship if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marxo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Stealth at level 10??? yea oprative has it at lvl 10 when you select the op AC its one of the skills given to you for selecting that AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayPeopleCry Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The best way to stop it is just put a level block on planets. Like you can only land on them if you meet the minimum level requirement for that planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibulant Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 They sit in friendly npcs where the opposite side is supposed to kill mobs, they just wait for the chest spawn and take the medprobe rez every time they get killed by an enemy player. And yes, I have been reporting them. A simple solution would be to have friendly npcs agro on player characters if they're below level 40, for instance.

Amonet Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 what a bunch of lies, you can not get to illum at lvl 10 rofl. You dont even get your ship until you complete your class story line on Dromund Kass/Coruscant...which is around lvl 16-17. So please troll harder. Thanks!

Eve if they do have stealth at lvl 10, which I have my doubts about, I would think that a lvl 50 have high enough stealth detection to see through the stealth of a lvl 10.

Hambunctious Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 How about non-static node/chest respawns? At least they can't afk, or rely on a chest being near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die_Scream Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I'm curious why the chests are accessible (can be opened) by players lower than the intended level of the planet they are on. Most MMOs would make it so you either can't get there, or you can't interact with the chest if you do get there. What is the intent, if not level locked, the "players" aren't actually breaking rules are they? Technically, I mean. Edit: Answered.

Tibulant Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 They break the rules when they sell the credits lol. I was just trying to implore Bioware to do something to stop the practice. Its all kids who sit in a sweatshop in asia with an internet connection and earn pennies for selling the credits to those credit selling servies.

Delove Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 How do they even get there dont u need a ship to reach that planet and where are in game GM's lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotpar Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The best way to stop it is just put a level block on planets. Like you can only land on them if you meet the minimum level requirement for that planet. Make it within 5 levels of the minimum level requirement.

Die_Scream Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Maybe, but clcicking the chest isn't against any rules I know of. Sure they are selling the credits, I'm just saying, Bioware made it possible for them to farm there. They know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamus_Divinus Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Lvl 15 on Ilum on my server. He/she/it has been there for a week now. I log in every day and do PvP on Ilum...and the guy is there 24/7...still level 15 and still on Ilum at any time of the day. There's no real fix. You block Ilum they'll go to Corellia (lvl 47 lockboxes...slightly less credits but still sizeable). You block Corellia and they'll go to Belsavis (lvl 44 lockboxes)...you block every planet and only let the required level visit it and you kill the game. I say lock the lockboxes lol. Make those lvl appropriate. Don't touch the planets themselves. Failing that BAN the people who get reported. You can see them farming. They're not hard to see. Farming static lockboxes should be against the TOS...ban them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadaverus Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 they are not trolling. im on ilum at this moment. there is a lvl 11 on local Every morning as i trundle out to do my dailies on Ilum, I pass by the same level 12 Sith warrior. "Hello and good morning, Wsxxsw!" I say, with a jaunty tip of my hat. P.S. I hate these kind of easily remedied exploits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibulant Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think the idea of make the chests inaccessible to any below a certain level would be the way to go. It'd solve the level 10 problem without making the world inaccessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
