Is it true that if you get someone to StandToTumble loop for you and heal them all the time for XP and are caught, your account can be banned? Because it's such a simple dumb macro that any marksman can do. It's something that'sin SWG without any third party software.

Not according to any rule that ws told to us.


It is considered cheesy and lame though.


I will definitely make fun of you if you do.


If the devs make it against the rules, I'll be sure to make apost.


Be aware, the new HAM system coming soon eliminates your ability to do this type of thing. Might want to get whiel the going is good.

I think that it is probably unlikely, since it requires 2 people to perform, that you would be banned for that.


However, you never know. Some folks do consider it a full "exploit", meaning something that should be banned. Others just consdier it a cheesy and dumb thing to do when you can get far better XP and have a lot more fun doing it by just being a deidicated healer for any hunting group.

If they wanted to ban people for it, they would go into Theed or Coronet Cantina and ban a dozen Macrotainers first. Real entertainers would rejoice though.

Tumbling isn't exploit, you can't do it without 2 accounts/persons and you just repeat normal ingame command which isn't exploit by any means. I myself don't see is as bad thing due the grinding/afk xp/macro system swg currently has.
