Thread: Ho do we mine resources on that new planet Musafar?

Well I left my CL2 on Mustafar on a 90% spawn of a steel that had SIX of SEVEN stats over 910. Three north of 980. I pulled up around 7k overnight. And I'm happy with that.
Whats the big deal?? It's not that hard to macro it and leave it running when your asleep? Many of you forget how you initially 'ground' your profession. You know, when you were so dirt poor you'd mine all night and craft what you mined overnight during your day hours.
Yeah it'd be neat if they tied in something that wouldn't allow the 'PROFITEER SPECULATORS' to have an advantage of lot farms. But would allow a Master craft profession or Master Artisan some benefit of mining there, through a quest or simple artisan missions. Say you'd get 30k of something much like someone would get that loot item for killing a bad guy or completing tasks.
Yeah Mustafar is a mining planet, but I just can't see a bunch of forgotten Heavy BER's littering the landscape smoking and condemned. See it enough already.
I also noticed the shifts are fast. Say a couple of days or even a day on some.
And the critters? C'mon get your mask scent and camoflage BE clothes and avoid the red arrows. How hard is that? So you get an incap, whoop-dee-do you wait and go around them to the best possible spot...keeping them at 60 meters range. It's not rocket science. My lil guy spent all last night sucking up that steel with three raptors and a lava flea sentry (aggro) merely 70 m away.
You do not need a thrid party macro to bypass that box. You just need to use a /sit or /stand macro after every /sample command to end the cycle and the next /sample command ignores the popup, you will end up with a few popups you have to close when you get back to your keyboard, but it does not stop you from sampling.
Something like a macro named mSample:
/sample;
/pause 5;
/stand;
/pause 30;
/macro mSample;
Anyway, this is not even the issue. It should be fun to craft. We shouldn't have to macro afk to get the good resources we need. Its just not fun. I want to play the game, not have a macro do it for me, and sitting there for hours watching your screen is not playing the game.
