I cant believe that a Correspondent would even post something like this.This is a valid problem in the game right now of people AFK looting all day with no risk.I know you can't acutally AFK loot,but you can fight down once and stand there all day looting...This should be labeled and exploit and a form of griefing.
I have fought down the caves many times,clearing everything in my path..only to get to the bottom to find 2-4 people standing there AFK waiting on the loot to pop,without risk of agro.Sure they had to fight down once,but being able to stand there all day long and have a clik-fest is just plain bad design.
Click, Click, dangit...(30 mins later) Click, Click, W00t!
This post makes me sad.

me too.
What i don't get, is in a thread earlier discussing how messed up this is, I posted a link to this thread saying "look a corespondent is posting how to do it" and how lame it was. Then that thread got deleted right after. So it seems like the Devs are encouraging this????
I think the better question is...why is the lame borgle cave the only place to find decent tapes?? It is hardly a hard cave to clear. Case and point...the droideka cave on Lok, much tougher all the magseals are usually empty....or how about some of the Kunga/Janta caves on Dant?? Debris is usually a stone knife and the magseals...empty. Oh, how about some of the tough caves on Endor?? Same deal...garbage loot or empty magseals.
True. True.
Could be the devs just want a flood of these things to get out there for awhile.
I'm assuming the original poster was being sarcastic. He is trying to point out exactly what is wrong with the game hoping it will change. The devs said they were making a game without camping, so this is obviously a bug.
I can't wait till this cave is changed. Put some huge boss mob in the cave that randomly spawns right next to the piles and can wipe out anyone with one hit. Something like that.
I suggest everyone put in a /bug in game stating that this cave (Borgle Bat Cave on Rori) is bugged and too easy to camp good stuff at the moment. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
You are a CSR?
omg, This game offically sux. Guess I cant go and look for a tape or two in a 30 minute period. I for one dont camp loot spots, that is selfish. If I am not at the keyboard then I shouldnt gain any benefit. It appears this is "OK" to do as a CSR is posting it as a tip.
I can just shake my head but then again most Jedi are grinders and have done most of their professions with macros while AFK.

I have to say this is a very strange post coming from the Jedi Forum Correspondent.
I wonder how long that will last after this post :-P
Think he's trying to point the flaws out in this game, to be fair. At least, I'd like to believe that's what he's doing.
I dont understand why they havnt removed these **edit** sea's spawning yet
STATIC SPAWNS ARE TERRIBLE!
Tha main reason I never played Evercrack were because of static spawns and the rewarding of players who do nothing but camp the places where the "uber" items drop. Sea's should be random loot, the tougher the monster the better chance a better one will drop.
I also think its sad that these things are the only real "loot" in the game. Please explain to me what the big deal is about them. I see things like +4 to rifle speed going for crazy amounts like 2 plus million credits. Is plus 4 that really big a deal? I just dont see it. Its like the little rich boys club that consist of a few 100 guys on every server that duped credits and resources like crazy and now have all the money and the power to purchase the best items. There seems no way to stop the powergamers...pity.
stop lumping all the power games with the rest of the REAL players. I now have 4.5 millon credits and i have worked DAMM hard to get it too. Yes i spend a lil time in the bat caves but i don't go afk and if i miss something i miss it. The big deal is that these things increase your skills once you have mastered it. The big things are usualy the + exp tapes which if you can get+10 into total give you an extrar point. This make them VERY valueable to armour and weaponsmiths most of all. But even medics love them.
I have earned EVERY credit and mined EVERY resouces i ever got.if you don't like the game DON'T PLAY IT.

What did this have to do w/anything above? I don't think anyone said much about credits and resources....
2. Loot appears EXACTLY 30 minutes after it is looted, to the second.
Not exactly true. Spawn times vary. I have looted a spawn on the way up and then again on the way down occassionally. And in my experience they respawn anywhere from 20-30 minutes.
Spawn camping happens. I have done it, I admit. But I try to follow these guidelines.
1. Talk to other people down there. Don't ninja loot. That person down there waiting may have just been through the cave and not found one loot.
2. If you are camping, and a player or group comes through, be polite. Either take off for a bit and let them have the next spawn or if they want let them have the spawn and agree to wait.
3. Clear the cave. If you have been doing nothing all day, try to clear the cave so that people don't come down to find nothing after doing all that work.
4. Just be polite. I know there are millions of credits worth of loot waiting down there for you, but I have managed to get a few decent ones without fuss. Some people don't talk or anything and that is pretty rude. If you get one that someone else came down hoping to find, hook them up.
I have made a couple friends from chilling in the caves. Usually grinding my crafting profs, but there are some people that aren't too fun to be around.
I hope that they fix the caves and loot drops in general. It is pretty ridiculous to get some of the best attaches in the game in that low level hole.
