While I agree whole-heartedly that these people should be tarred and feathered, the main problem is: They're doing it RIGHT NOW. As we speak, there are an unknown number of people on (probably) all servers doing this in some degree. The "smarter" ones are probably staying low-profile with it so as to not draw attention. I want this fixed IMMEDIATELY, but there is no way to tell if it will, or how soon. The DEVs have not yet even responded in the thread. I CSR apparently got in touch with the guy reporting it, but who knows how long it will take them to figure out how it's being done and fix it. I almost wish someone doing it would come clean and blab how they're doing it - that would cause such a devastating effect the DEVs would HAVE to fix it TODAY to prevent a total collapse of game balance.

Yeah people always say don't tell don't tell but if the devs don't respond, and really really quickly, this is going to blow up in everyones face. It might take someone releasing the formula to cause a quick and immediate impact so the actuall programmer will be press ganged into fixing the problem.

stacks of 100k are small potatoes for a PA. Just a PA hall takes a few hundred k of resources, and guilds had a PA hall up within one week. Since that first week they've just grown and expanded to more harvesters.

Having a few mill resources is not proof of duping.

But there does seem to be a lot of people claiming they can dupe, so i could believe it.

Hmm I a few stacks of 100k I haven't been assed to sell them yet. Stock piling I guess. Nah 100k isn't hard to get.

A hundred thousand I agree is easy and many will have stockpiled such amounts.

But to stockpile of1 million of a rare uber resource? Any account with over1 million of a resource should be checked out be an investigative team to see if it seems to have been used to facilitate cheating.

Then the offenders should be banned permanently.

Dirrill_Nigar if you open it in photoshop you can see that it lines up perfect, its just an optical illusion that it appears a little off. it happens to me when i am making flash programs sometimes. its just theeyes.

Maybe I'm the only one seeing this, maybe I'm just wrong, BUT why does his pack say 21/50 when he only was 13 things in it? Does that prove that this is fake? I believe that proves it. I think he forgot one thing to try and fool everyone.

I found a thread on another message board yesterday that explains how to do this. The exploit is very real, however, it's a bit of a pain in the butt to pull off. i reada thread about it onanother website, which has since been pulled down.

This kind of stuff happens. There's nothing we can do about, except hope it gets resolved soon. Game breaking? C'mon! How is this "game breaking"?

BTW, i read about it on a thread. On another message board. Just wanted that to be clear.

Is this why I dont see many core people online lately?

Jolva is right...people that use this bug to there advantage will use it and use it...and then give up on the game cause its "boring" and they already have millions of dollars...losers...lol

Hmm, I think yall are wrong, people will not just stop duping resources because of EBAY. I mean really if you got to Ebay and do a search for "swg" you will see auctions where people are listing thier millions of credits and getting hundreds of dollars bidded on them. So no, they will not stop, because they can make Real money off of the exploit.

Question:

When you fill a pack, each item in the pack (no matter the quantity of the item) counts as 1 against your total of 50. In the screen shot, the pack contents say 21/50, but there are only 13 items in pack. Where are the other 8 items?

Second, take a screenshot of your own, in jpeg format, as this one is, and see the difference between anti-aliasing in yours and this screenshot. This shot has been edited one way or another.
