I'd consider this a FEATURE not an exploit.

Anything options that are avaialable due to the ineptitude of the developers should be used when possible.



Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

This is an exploit. The BH had beat ur friend, even if there were three of them, they beat ur friend and he should have taken the DB from a bh. Spin groups have made it to where a death to a bh does nothing more than lower your combat rating till some sucky bh comes along to boost it back up. At the most he would have lost 452k, which is less than 1 hour of spin group grinding.

Did you lose XP upon cloning? no? then you won.


All they got to do is try again. Thats why I like this game... possibilities are not always the same, creativity wins sometimes.

interfereing with a situations is also refered to as a intervention and is a thing that can often save a life...in this case saved xp...


is it a exploit..... no.... ID say all you did was slow the hunters down..


if it stripped there mission or gave mission failed staus maybe yes


But as the BH like to say "by any means nessassry" to get a kill.. then the same should hold true for survival ... .... yes??


generally tho.... its all opinion...if its a exploit it will get "fixed" if not then there is your answer

Okay so take on an Imp Jedi. So I head to Tant and get his name and head over to where he is. Okay so I see him grinding with one other person. So I buff up, eat my food and head out to him. During the fight I see a CM using BactaSpray, so I have no clue what he is doing till the end.


The fekker drags 8 level 82 level mobs on top of me with his ALT and drops them on me while he roots me with his jedi.


Their has to be a way around this, I see the mobs so I use bacta shot and stims avoiding spray just for this reason. If this, then I will do a report, but I need to get some sort of feed-back because useing an alt to ditch out of a BH cause you suck and are getting to like 1/8th of your health then use that.


This is the most upset I have been ever, I don't care if a Jedi waxes me in combat, and I have all the respect for them if they can, and if any of the ones that read this are some that have bested me they will know that I show them the up most respect. But this just irks the living crap out of me because of this fool. Feed Back be nice. Thanks.

It's not really outsmarting when you use an alt to do the work of two people. Hell I laughed my ass when I did an AoE against a jedi and crapped a ton of flippen bantha's on me, called m'self dumb, but this is just not even outsmarting when useing two toons.

Yes, smart move by Jedi...using his environment to his advantage.

I have to agree, it's just smart. Many BH's have used the enviroment to their advantage...including attacking when a jedi is in the middle of a fight with his lair or a group of mobs.

Actually poster this is an exploit more specifically denoted as training, and its a bannable offense. A player cannot drag aggro creatures ontop of another player without consent, or more specific to cause that player unwanted harm. You did not engage in activity that would drag the attack upon yourself. The player intentionally pulled aggro radius onto you that you would otherwise avoid.


Shame on the other forum members who feed you the line that this is smart. This is not smart its exploiting. For a more specific reference read the EULA training npc/mobs on other players is expressly forbidden and is deemed an exploit. In this case its not even incidental its intentional. The jedi has absolutely no excuse he was exploiting.


There is no fine line here infact this is standard practice in most mmorpgs training is exploiting. Other examples of training exploiting are pulling kimogilia krayts and so forth onto bases. So they will destroy the turrets. Pulling mobs into cities to attack other players. Lair pumping mission lairs while other players are combating the creatures of said nest.


My advice is to report this jedi. He is neither being smart cunning or ingenious. He is useing a very old exploit to gain an unfair advantage/ useing game mechanics to an uninteded end. Simply file a harrassment report on the player put in that the player is useing training exploit to pull mobs onto other players, and report the name of the alt which he is useing to do this along with his jedi.


Anyone dumb enough to be useing training of mobs is dumb enough to keep doing it, and in the end dumb enough to be shocked when the CSR shows up and says congratulations you are banned.

doubt you will get banned for training in swg...I doubt you would even get a warning even though it is against the rules...


i have seen BH and Jedi incap from trains...i have seen both sides say they are doing a report on it...I have heard ZERO reports of people getting banned much less even a warning for doing it.
