When we spot afk jedi on Bloodfin Grinding we post there names on the forums and where they are for bh's

I'm a Jedi who used this tactic as an advantage to level up to fully-templated status. Whereas I will argue the fact of it being an exploit (more specifically... it is NOT an exploit, due to the macros working as the devs intended.. STATED by the devs), I also do agree that the Jedi deserves whatever happens to him/her while they are afk. Every action has a consequence. I died (only once though, mind you).. and what I lost was FAR less than what I gained. And even if I had been hunted more, I still would've gained far more than I would've lossed. So for both parties, it works out pretty well in the end.

I noticed someone earlier, in regards to the afk macro'ing.. yes, you wish to compare it to EQ, AC, DAoC, etc... all the other MMO's out there, and yes.. afk macroing is banned. As it should be. But have you ever played a game that requires as much "grinding" as this one does? I know I haven't. And if you're going to throw up the "Well you're Jedi, you KNOW it's a hard grind, and it should take you longer than the other combat professions".. etc. Well, you're right. It took me 20x as long to afk grind Jedi as it would've to afk grind a regular elite profession. Not every afk macro'er is a Jedi. In fact, most of them are NOT Jedi.. just Jedi in training. Most people who afk macro are ones that want to become Jedi, or want to make money while they are afk. This game is about FUN. Sitting here for hours upon hours upon hours grinding something, then getting so frustrated with it and quitting, is not a means to have FUN. AFK Macroing, getting all the annoying crap out of the way while you are asleep, or at work, etc etc... then coming home to a viable character that you can have fun with, or that much closer to having fun with... what's wrong with that? For RL reasons, if you were able to work in your sleep and then be able to go to the beach during the day, would you say "No, that's an exploit!"? No, you wouldn't. GET WITH THE FACTS. THIS IS A GAME. IT'S ABOUT ENJOYMENT. Let us enjoy our own characters without people running around the forums acting like whiners and preaching "Exploit!" "Cheater!" "H4X0R!", etc. How about you worry about your own character instead of everyone else's? If you want to do something about it, settle it in game... come after us while we're afk. We deserve it. Just don't be a pansy about it when you have the same capabilities as we do. AFK Macroing is a level playing field. It's not my fault you don't want to use it. And don't preach about the ones that do.

wow another respec BH for me to shoot down. if a jedi exploits the Rryatt trail, that means u CANT attack him. u cant bag 5 jedi if they are exploiting. killing wookies in a group on that level is not a exploit, never has never will. hiding in the blind spot is. all u respec BHs need to get some brains. seroisly.

That's abusing the system on kashyyyk, hence an exploit.

Ok, so now with this post, here is what I don't understand....

You need to get back to the beginning of the trail as quick as possible, and in the meantime ridding yourself of BF or wounds (there's gonna be some Enternainers and Docs who will have some hungry kids, LOL) and so you use a game mechanic in a method it was not intended. Unless you can somehow prove that the Triple Incap thing is intended to be a means of quick heals and transportation, I could use your own logic to say YOU are the exploiter here now.


Jedi using the quickest method possible to reach a spacific goal...

You used the quickest method possible to reach a specific goal....


where is the difference...

Don't use the "Oh my little thing was TINY compared to the HUGE xp gain the Jedi get" because a pile of crap from a chiwawa puppy may be smaller than a pile of crap from a full grown Rottweiller, but BOTH are piles of crap. If you are to accuse Jedi of exploiting, you are now accusing yourself of the same.

Wow. That's amazing. It seems most of us have our little tricks to make some things a little easier.

as if to say afk macro grinding is skill...

LOL I afk grind my alt too who isn't a jedi. Does that make it okay since he's not a jedi? F.U. and your little dog too putz. It is not an exploit, WORKING AS INTENDED. Of course it probably will be banned because of terds like you who will complain about how UNFAIR this is, when you have the same advantage to utilize this system as the jedi do. Let me warn you tho, once it is banned we ALL cannot grind this way, that includes you. So watch what you ask for to get nerfed, personally I think yall need to take a flying leap off a cliff.
