Let them go about their business /sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restepor Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 lol now we cant even explore planets without someone making a fuss, really, get off your high horse, and go enjoy the game, clearly hes doing what he wants to, he paid, hes enjoying his time, end of story Agreed, he didn't break any rules. I wouldn't do it, but he can do as he pleases as he is not hurting anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterWarlock Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) It was obviously never intended that a level 13 can earn more money per hour than a level 50 farming non stop, and just by doing basically nothing too. Therefore it is an exploit. Edited December 31, 2011 by SinisterWarlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 A very good reason to require minimum level requirements for planets. That's not fair if someone can survive a trip into a area (without exploiting) 30+ levels above them then more power to them. My harvest skill is way above my actual level due to crew mission and so forth, should I decide to risk my neck getting to a area way above my level to scavenge and so forth that's my business. Now if the OP level 13 guy is a bot then yes should be reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urglab Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I noticed this could be done in other planets too, was exploring and in spots where imp players need to kill republic troops (and vice versa) every mob is friendly to you so you can loot any chest that happens to be in the area. It's also really easy to pk others in those places because the mobs are on your side lol. Obviously this is a flaw and needs to be fixed, exploiting it by camping the boxes should not be allowed.

DWarrior Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There's a couple champions that you can farm as well. I know a few near Kaas city lol. Reporting them wont stop them any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it is an exploit. and yet, Exploits (technically) aren't against the rules. Exploits are ways of finding loopholes in the rules, and as long as you do not negatively affect others gameplay, they are fair game until they are fixed. Getting a lvl 13 into a lvl 50 area, sure, probably exploiting the stealth system a bit, definitely exploiting the mob aggro, but not against the rules. Now, if we go back to Asheron's Call with the Platinum Scarab bug... THAT was an "exploit" that crossed the line. See, the vendors suffered from a classic "rollover" bug when it came to pricing. Basically, when you bought over 4.2 BILLION pyreals (p) of something it would roll over to -1. But, since all buy prices were switched to positive, it would be 1p to buy something. Platinum Scarabs were the most expensive vendor item in the game at 44,000p to buy (22,000p to sell) a piece. So, if you bought ~ 96,000 of them in one shot, it would only cost you 1p. Buy 96,000 at 1p, then turn around and sell them at 22,000p EACH. They did a game-wide 3 day rollback because of that bug.

Herdsnerfs Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Actually, quite often in these games, going against "the spirit of the game" can be considered an exploit. In other words, if you are doing something that is not really intended. The biggest issue is saying someone is a gold seller without proof. Anyone can farm chests. Nothing wrong with that. This may well be a gold farmer, but they can't just arbitrarily ban anyone farming chests. They need to be sure. Most game slap a high level mob by chests and resources for this reason. And they will probably need to do this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truga Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wait, so let me get this straight. If a level 45 farms those 24/7 it's all fine and dandy, but if a level 13 does it, it's somehow bad? I'm seriously not seeing the problem here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xorolyk Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Should i report him? he's in a lvl 45+ zone as a level 13 camping the security chest spawn. I remember you!

Amp_ Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 By the same logic should we report level 50 players who go back to low zones since they don't belong there? I don't think so. You could report them and let BioWare decide if they are up to no good, but if it's just some dude who took his lowbie out to slice some boxes, I see no harm in that. They should be left alone.

Jydradi Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Try it but he will just find another place to do it (shrugs) Once you get your ship you can turn in the commendations from the flt missions for the lock boxes. I was getting lvl 50 items at lvl 18 from doing this. My apologies, but what do you mean 'fit mission'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
