Is it just me or does anyone else find it funny that the "God of Darkness and Evil" is against people getting rich easy by cheating?

The problem as I see it isn't in the DJK/DJM missions being repeated over and over. Instead I see the problem in being that there are only a few types of NPCs dropping decent loot let alone uber loot. When that happens, camping is sure to occur.

Take for instance the Aakuan Cave. At any given time on my server, day or night, 24/7, you can expect to find at least 5-6 campers in there. Why? Because nothing else is dropping at the rate as these guys are. This creates a problem, because only those willing to stoop low enough to camping will be the ones with the loot and thecredits that the CAs generate. A non-camper who just occasionally hits one of these NPC caves or kills a squad of STs randomly will never have the loot drops as those who campthe Aakuans or those who camp the DJKs/DJMs. Then it becomes an issue of "Ifya can't beat 'em, join 'em."

The only way I can see to fix the problem isfor the Dev team to redo the loot tables. Why should one type of NPC be more prone to dropping loot than another?I feel that if this was done, then either the amount of campers would drop drammatically because their NPC of choice no longer drops at a significantly higher rate than the others, or the market would become diluted with similar loot items in such a way that they would no longer sell for such absurd prices.

As far as the loots selling now for multiple millions........Is that the fault of the looters for trying to make some money or the buyers for purchasing at the high prices? I really don't see where it hurts the economy as bad as some people like to claim. The credits are already there. These credits are not being generated from thin air and given to the looters. They are just going from one account to another.

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.

oh hell no. this game has worked just fine without bio linking. it is the elietest attitude that screws this game. everything in game should be sellable. if i loot it, its mine ot do as i will.

i agree some people need stuff that they cant get, so they need to buy it

This isn't an exploit. What it is, is a game bug people are exploiting. I really have no problem that poeople are out there doing the mission over and over to get sweet loot. If I was Imperial I probably would as well, wouldn't mind a nice +25 AA. No where else in the game, that I have seen, does another 250+ CL creature spawn ( outside of the random DJM/DJK spawn on Dant), so obviously thats a bug. And the fact that he can be solo'ed by ANYONE makes the combat system "upgrade" a joke. So in reality the only people at fault here are the Devs for not fixing this. The DJM shouldn't spawn at a redoable mission waypoint with a CL over say 100, considering there is a chick who only spawns at the bottom of the spider cave on Dath once after server reset for a badge, and she's like CL 90 or so (kinda anticlimactic there). I also don't think anything should drop the kind of SEAs with +25 and 2 other skill mods as well on one tape, these should be ULTRA rare. An "uber" CA should have like 2-3 skills with +6 to +11, that way people don't lose perspective on loot quality. With an auction filled with +25 CA/AA it seems pretty lame when you finally loot a +5 off an NPC after several tries, and has anyone noticed that it always seems to be the same players bidding on all the high end AA/CAs?

So if this in fact, not a bug and there are supposed to be a flood of high of end SEAs then the Devs really need to beef up the rest of the loot drops in the game to be fair to players who aren't Imperial, or dont have 30+ million in the bank to power bid. Just my opinion though.
