Why are there no grinding hunt group at the Science outpost for FS people?
We should start forming groups there so FS grinders do not have to travel so far to cash in their exp. I have tried to form a group in the village but everyone is so into themselves that they act like they are afk even when cashing in exp.
I am on Corbatis. What do people thing about capping nightsisters or other big o' Mobs . or do people just want to hunt bols?
A group of close lvl 80s should not care. I see in my playing where people have forgot there hunting teamwork skills. Heck, some people just go mob to mob hitting them all once and then sit back waiting for more to spawn. When you tell the group lets pull , someone will say , " there bols, you do not have to pull them." How will people learn to play the game if they do not pratice on the easy stuff. I'm a level 80 melee tank so for me it is not a big deal but you get tired of seeing stuff swarm the group because someone is stupid or selfish. How will the newbees or even the "vets" ( so use to buffing and soloing quaker liars with area attacks) learn.
sorry , back to the main subject. I think we should start having hunt groups forming on closer to the village at Dath.
What do you say fellow FS grinder. we get some entertainers and group and we could start looting all the night sisters and do not even need mission termanals . there are LOTS of high level Mobs between the scince out post and the village.

My guess is that its safer (and easier) to hunt bols on dant and deal with occasional huutrons and voritors, than to hunt Giant Baz nitches and deal with nightsisters, singing mountain clan, and rancors.... oh my! Not to mention the plethora of other nasties that live there too.
Besides with JTL it only takes like 60 secs to jump to dath and few minutes to and a few back from the village to cash in.

but there is no loot in bols ( unless you are a scout , then you bank). An group of lvl 80s should not care.
as for the travel time, it takes a dab for me to bike to the village. I wish I could use the village as a base and clean the area out of the nasty mobs and then never have to leave the group while I train ( only 5 min away) .
Are we really wimping out these days? sigh...

I think the main reason why people do not start groups on Dathmor is because the planet has far too many aggro creatures and people just don't want to draw the attention of a couple of Nightsister Rangers orEnraged Rancors in the middle of the planet when you have to travel 4-5k from the cloner to get back to the group.
Also, while you are right that we spend a lot of time with travelling, most people already have JTL so at least interplanetary travel is free of charge.
...all in all our server (FarStar) also favoures Tatooine for grinders where bantha and dewback population suffers day by day.

I don't think we are wimping out it is just so much more convenient to move from mission to mission when you know you don't need to worry about avoiding nasty aggros.
Hunting Nightsisters on Dathmorir or Marauders on Endor for loot / RP /fun is completely different though and groups for these are formed regularly.

When I was FS grinding, I did Pikets / Bols for a couple reasons. Less aggro creatures on Dantooine, good xp,and most importantly, clear and flatterrain. Dathomir is always dark, has very steep hills, and a bunch of large trees. All of these things make it difficult for a team, that has never worked together,to kill aggressive mobs. When I'm with my guild, we do stuff like NS's because we know what to expect from each other, therefore, we know we can depend on each other. In a group of people I don't know, they could be good or not, but either way, the best grouping I ever had was when I knew what to expect from my group and that only happens with people you play with regularly.

I’ve seen CL 80 hunting groups of 8 on Dantooine., freak out and cry ‘Abort’, when they see 20 – 30 (?) light up from agro hurrtons/voritors mixed in with their Bol mission.
As well they should. LOL

Hey bud I get what you mean.... I am not a grinder either.
Just killing creatures.....in a group or solo repetatively is grinding in my book and ming numbing!!
I prefure to at least kill something for hides, or loot drops myself.
If you have rage you might beable to get with at group on the avator I got a cool mill xp in about 1 hour and a half. tops!!
All those level 82s!!
Good luck and get creative. Also I would take your time and have fun instead of what most do is grind it out as fast as they can then once they are master def they complain that no BHs hunt them or that there is nothing to do!!
So enjoy the ride even thou it is a long one!!

I think it's a great idea to branch out from the usual grind spots. I am so sick of Dantooine Pickets and Bols. Last week, Dantooine was experiencing such insane lag, that i was near impossible for anyone of us to keep going. Most of our group quit. But a few of us stuck together, gathered some friends, and went to Lok to kill Veemoks and other lvl80 mobs. It was like a luxurious vacation, i loved it, even though it was pretty much the same thing.
Thing is, Dantooine MO is THE place to group up and grind, and i just can't see that changing, at least not on my medium population server.
Dantooine is just hard to beat. It's pretty, nice terrain, bountifull lvl80 mobs that aren't hard to kill, lots of player cities to get training, get missions, or repair your bike, all the vendors you could want, and just about everyone has a house there. And it's not like this is new, even before the cu and group hunting, Dantooine was the best place to grind solo. Dantooine is great... unless you've spent 4 hours a day there, every day, for the last month.

Real quick .... Another thing i do is to ask our guild ranger what creatures level 80 he needs to harvest.
Then i get the guild hitting those helps the ranger who helps the armor smith and the chief and the weapon smith and the tailor.
So it in my mind is not griniding. and It has a purpose instead of the stupid mind numbing stuff!!
