I like this quest a lot. It definitely has inspired me to try it. However, I do have to agree that after spending over 8 hours mindlessly wandering around in slow motion looking for a farmer that may or may not even exist. I think an issue is that if another player talks to him he despawns and can easily respawn back in an area I have already checked.
I think the devs have done a great job and I missed the Pre-Pub 9 version, however the different aspects of this are wonderful. Just a few suggestions on how this can be more enjoyable to play.
Have nearby NPCs give hints and clues. I have ran past numerous Hermits, Farmers, Rebels, Imps and Explorers. They know nothing of what I am looking for, however if the Moisture Farmer or the Pirates had spawned nearby maybe they could give hints "I think I saw a farmer walk by here about an hour ago" or something. And if he despawns because another player talked to him the nearby NPCs would simply say "Nope havne't seen him". Then we could play the Getting hotter, getting colder thing, this would give players a sense of accomplishment or something, rather than it being basd on pure luck.
That would also make Environment interaction more of an aspect of the game as well. Maybe even the farmer or whatever could drop something or trying digging somewhere, you know some clue that he does exist.
Anyway, good job so far, thanks!

I'm currently trying to get at least some of these badges. The last suggestion on the moisture farmer quest is the best idea I've read. I wish the devs would implement it.
It's getting boring searching the same area over and over again.

#1 issue. As of tonight, I have run into the Pirate Leader....and I could not talk with him or attack him (which is probably what is required to complete the quest). This was on the Scylla server, but it's probably happened numerous times on other servers..please address this issue.
#2 issue.The sith also attacked me on re-login. Their datapad's error: You must loot that object before extracting any information out of it." Can anyone resolve this? Any work-arounds? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
