BoyZzDEViL Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) since this game is story driven and all about questing ..how about award 1 social point each time you buff somebody who is not in a grp with you, i.e. somebody you just run in too during questing? discuss Edited March 5, 2012 by BoyZzDEViL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyntric Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerandar Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! pretty much this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynomen Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! Unlike standing in a pvp zone on Ilum and trade kills with the other faction? Oh that is happening already. lol Not everyone would cheat to complish things and many of us already ninja buff people as we run about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powergirl Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! I'll get my guildies to group up and buff them then have them turn it off , after that buff them again . Wash , rinse , repeat , and Voila ! max social points .

Kindara Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) This is totally exploitable...and unfair to those of us that have worked hard for our social points by actually grouping a good bit of the game including doing all the pre 50 flash points. If you want social points group more, you dont even have to work with them or even talk to them. Buffing is not a social interaction.

Idunhavaname Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! Have fun spending a good amount of hours doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knewt Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I approve of the OP's suggestion. Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! As opposed to running the first flashpoint over and over again for the points? They could easily get around this by placing a small debuff on the caster that prevents gaining social points from buffing for 30s. They have something for giving companions gifts, they should be able to do it for buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerandar Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Have fun spending a good amount of hours doing that. set up something that clicks the 0 key for me every few seconds, have friend stand there afk. go out and do something, come back social points maxed booyah!

Blavatsky Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sweet. I'll get a friend to stand in front of me and we'll keep buffing each other over and over to max our social points! I think its a good idea, just needs a cooldown or some restriction to weed about people like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want social points group more, you dont even have to work with them or even talk to them. Buffing is not a social interaction. The could maybe put some control in by only allowing 50 buff to 50 different people a day, and that way it isn't excessive. (or choose your own reasonable number, I don't know what it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewatcheruatu Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) This is a nice idea, but no. heh. Totally exploitable. Even if not exploited, you could max out your social points in a night of simply hanging around the Fleet. I'd rather they just improved the social point rewards from grouping in one of the many ways that have been suggested.
