I loot CDEF pistols and sell them to the NPC junk dealers.
It is a roleplaying thing.

first day starting a new character on Infinity I looted 2 adhesives in 10 minutes killing meatlumps to level unarmed. That has made leveling him up a tad easier (sold them for a mil)

Used to run mission, bored to tears. The only time I do that is if I need hide for grinding then I will go kill rancors in s solo group. I would rather spend the time loot hunting. Krayt, NS, Tuskens, DWB. My other account is a Master Weaponsmith and soon to be armorsmith. Just trying to gather the resources needed to grind armorsmith, then the good resources to make armor with.

Since becoming Master Swordsman and having Novice Scout I work with chefs and other creature resource needs - and hunt whatever they are looking for.
If they need Carnivorie meat and tell me dath is th ebest a rancor hunting I go - can usually get 25 - 30k units a buff session. If its really good (like it is now) I get 30 - 40 cpu - easy million with 25k units at 40 cpu.
Otherwise it may take longer on dant or naboo resources but you can make a couple million if not more a week as a casual player.

When I started I sold resources. I did the whole, BER 4 light mines, upgrading as I could afford it to mediums, then heavies. Once I had enough money to open a shop I did. The problem with crafting for money is the time it will take to develop a good store. It took me about six months of hard work to get a decent shop going. People just don't materialize out of the air in your storebecause you dropped a vendor down. They have to know it is there, it is stocked, it has good items at decent prices. But once you do get there, wow it is wonderful. This weekend I made 15 million, profit not gross which isgood for me, I normally expect to make about 5 to 7 million a week. And yes I still sell those resources. Which leaves me free to run missions, loot items, or just hang out with friends when I want to. But I will tell you honestly, there was nothing like the feeling I had the first time my bank account reached 100k. Doing 500 credit missions from Bestine, dropping those light mineral mines, trying so desperatly hard not to get killed bykreetles & rills. It was a wonderful, far more gratifying than logging on and seeing that another[insertfactory crafted item here]was sold..wee, better check the factories.

For those unbuffed/unarmored ones who cannoteven smell a Rancor because the odor alone will devastate your health pool, you cando like I do.
Go to those places long ignored by the rich and powerful. There you will be able to kill NPCs in one hit and loot premuim items that can be sold on the trader forums for much money. Example: Sold a Nabooian Sculpture Adhesive for 330,000 yesterday. Keep your bazaar items stocked to the limit with lower than average priced items. In my case, I always make sure I have my 25 item limit for sale at all times. Sell quality items in good condition (not a wood staff in 156/750 condition). Just make sure it's priced lower than most others and make sure you read up on what is junk and what is not. It's fun to have a few e-mails announcing a successful sale every time you log in.
Currently, Iearn approx. 10,000 credits every 40 minutes...plus loot. This is done by killinglow-end NPCs that spawn the second they are looted. Wounds are kept to a bare minimum and there is no need for buffs or special attacks.
It's not the best way, just my way

I kill and get drops. That's how I make my money. How lucrative is it?? Well I have 35 mill. That's about 1 month of work or so. Thing is I made that just grinding exp for Jedi. Now I hunt Crystals/Pearls. I still like to kill the occasional Nightsister. A lucky drop from a NS can generate some serious cash. With my newly acquired alt I am now going rifles/smuggler. I plan on slicing a lot of weapons, and trying to makea name formyself in that category, and possibly score some sweet weapons/armor in the process.

I stand on a corner in coronet, hoping to pick up a rich flyboy for the night. If he's really, really rich I'll use some ether on him after we get to the hotel and steal his wallet and run like hell. Hey it's a living. SCREW you for judging me!
