I know this was posted to try and help the cause of Dancers/Entertainers who do not like AFK Macroers.


That being said I would like to clarify something; it is not a violation of the TOS, the EULA, or any other rule in SWG to use a macro and be AFK. The CSR in this case was mistaken in their answer, and it has been sent along to their supervisor so that the rules can be clarified for those CSRs who may be confused on the policy.


I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware that the policies do not state that it is a violation. I am not trying to encourage AFK macros just simply making sure the policies are understood since in this case it was incorrect.


Thank you!

Like it or not, AFK macros aren't going away anytime soon. You can either accept it and move on, or become bitter and brokenlike certain people and spend your game time griefing those who don't agree with you.


Tumble on!!

As long as you're discreet about it, the amount of heat you catch will be minimal.

Discreet about what? I've nothing to hide. I tumble for all to see, especially those "earn it the respectful way" docs.

It proves that,despite claims from certain uninformed people, there is absolutely nothing wrong with AFK macroing.

How? All that proves is that it can be done and is not against the EULA to do so. The term "wrong" in this case is subjective.

This is a very dumb this to even worry about. I am no holo grinder but I am also not gonna sit in some dumb Hospital begging for healing xp.


What I am gonna do is go actively seek out a brawler and have him afk macro his warcry for me on a nest from 12m away and heal like a mad man on him. Yes this is faster than tumblers.


I am also gonna use every macro I know for the crafting line.


Here it is if you wanna use it.


/ui action toolbarSlot00; this being the slot you tool is in

/sel ##; this being where you place the schematic numer you need

/pause 4;

/next;

/next;

/createPrototype pratice no item;

/createPrototype pratice no item;

/pause 1


/ui action toolbarSlot01;

/sel ##;

/pause 4;

/next;

/next;

/createPrototype pratice no item;

/createPrototype pratice no item;

/pause 1


/ui action toolbarSlot02;

/sel ##;

/pause 4;

/next;

/next;

/createPrototype pratice no item;

/createPrototype pratice no item;

/pause 1


You can repeat this for as many tools as you want.


At the end of it I just sent it back to the macro button to repeat it the whole time.


You still need to click on all the resources but it is better than the sheer boredom of crafting. I also managed to get thru the BE craftinglines with this same macro.


To many of you are or at least seem rather uptight about this whole fast paced leveling thing. I personally do not uderstand it. I hate the tedious end of trying to beg and borrow your way to master. Why not just let the players who wish to rush thru it go that route instead of complaining about them.

I think it's pretty clear seeing as how I quoted a post clarifying the rules that "wrong" as I used itshould be interpreted as not being against the rules, which again, was the subject of the quote.


I guess if you have no valid point on the subjectjust argue over the definition of a word. Maybe next you can argue over the word "it", cause "it" couldbe anything.

What I find hilarious about you monkey tumblers is that you get a whole 40k xp an hour paying someone else to tumble, when you could be getting 100k xp an hour buffing and getting paid.

You can'tgive buffsuntil you're 0/2/0/0, and you aren't paying another tumbler cause you're both tumbling and healing, and you aren't getting 100k xp per hour AFK buffing.


Let's see, play 2 hours get 200k xp orAFK tumble 16 hours get 640k. Last I checked 640 > 200.


Did you even think before you posted?
