Thread: DJM exploit
annnnnnnd that's WRONG!
There's a Tuesday Tip by Thunderheart himself that says you can drop a mission and do it over again to get the items the NPC's give. Like the birdcage that use to be given for a devlery mission. You would drop it, put the cage in a backpack and do it again.
No dev has ever said dropping a mission and doing it again is an exploit and every thing indicates it's just fine if not even made to do so.

Especially as of late, many people have flooded the market with these high-end attachments, severely decreasing the value and rarity of them. At least on Ahazi, this has made an impact on the economy.
That's good though. That allows a wider range of people to buy them.

On my server, there is someone who keeps doing the locked briefcase mission over and over.
This person is an exploiter because you are only suppsed to do missions once.
I have been trying to sell my locked brifcase for 5 million credits for months now, but this guy keeps farming them and selling them for 10k.
I guess there are cheaters in every game.
Also, recently there was a line of sight bug where you could not use cloning terminals. The cheaters still managed to use it using the /clone command though. *Sigh* Why is it every game I play there are always cheaters.
????? Are you seriouly complaining because you can't get 5 mil for the case? Welcome to the free market.

Sorry to inform you, this is not an exploit. The only bug here is that the cell door blocks line of sight.
Could you please define EXPLOIT.
the EULA states it so vaguely, and uses this word "BUG" that came up in your quote.
You all make me laugh with these lables. It's all good, it's not easy to do you have to logout and back in a few times aswell (or having a CSR remove you from the cell), so if you're a Jedi you could be quite vulnerable to BH attack. The hills out there are something else, and getting line of sight on the DJM can be difficult sometimes.

The definition of an exploit is using a bug to get benefit that you wouldn't otherwise.
Ok, I'm not familiar with this mission. But are you saying that in order to do it more than once you have to "logout and back in a few times" or have a "CSR remove you from the cell" ?
That sounds pretty obviously bugged. If you didn't do those things could you do the mission more than once? If you're using the bug to repeat the mission and wouldn't be able to repeat the mission otherwise then that would technically be exploiting (by the definition of exploit).
It doesn't matter how hard the mission is or isn't or how expensive the thing you get is. If you take advantage of a bug then that isn't how its supposed to work.
even when you do the mission for the first time you can still get stuck in the prison ( happened to me today , was my first time doing this quest
) . had to ask someone to duel and kill me since i didnt want to make a ticket and wait for a csr .
as for people doing the mission over and over , i think its a good thing . it makes tapes more affordable for a larger number of people and it not like the djk / djm are a static spawn that is being camped . being an imperial i think it would be fair if the rebelses were giving a similar quest .

It's CHEATING. We all know who these people are on our respective servers. I even heard a group in Coro cantina talking openly about doing it yesterday and comparing tapes, and we can all check our server's trade forums.
this statement I completely agree with...

i think folks are missing the fact that teh DJK and DJM spawn randomly on Dantooine and drop the same awesome attachments....not an exploit there.
Thats true, but you find one DJM in 1h-2h with the Dathomir DJM Quest you can take one DJM all 5 min.
People camping DJK and DJM one after another, even they are soloing. And then selling on forums +25s, prem crystals...
I have been playing since launch , and I have seen many many exploits like those, every month cheaters find new things to camp and get millions in a few minutes.
I have played WOW, at that game, you can farm any mob u want, but the drops will belong to LOOTER ! so they can't brake the economy of the game.
Please , change all cool drops to BIND WHEN EQUIP kind thing. Stop this madness, stop this camping thing, how can a player kill lvl 250 mob by solo ??? I have seen my master defender jedi friends are camping those, killing a djk in 2minutes and going back to get missions. Many players are doing these.
You are forcing us to cheat too.
Just fix this economy please, people are getting rich so easy.
