Just to clear something up for those wondering *why* Arjun posted this.
His 'how-to' guide on the Borgle cave was originally posted in the Eclipse forum as a response to those who claimed him and another were using a 3rd-party program to make his mouse 'auto-click' constantly on the debris piles. Which would be a violation of the EULA. Arjun posted his guide to show that he was not actually using a 3rd party program and was suggested (dared, maybe even) to post it here.
Basically, it's a situation of "If that's what you're really doing, then you have no fear to post it where it will be very noticeable". And Arjun has done just that.
Since I haven't ever gone to this cave I can't say if his method works, or if it is indeed a 3rd party program. But at least now you know why he put it here for all to see

It also lets you go watch TV, surf the net, or post on the messageboard. However if you are afk, people will accuse you of AFK macroing which is naughty. I guess you are expected to not alt-tab in between spawns, however I disagree with this assumption.
god that sucks, to read this coming from a correspondant.......... I have a severe problem with afk macros, i beleive its degraded the game as much as the bugs

Really shows us how much hard work and effort he puts in now doesnt it. Keep it up
Oh wait he is the jedi correspondent? ok that means he doesnt have to do anything, There gonna get fixed first no matter how many proffesions are borked and have been since launch.
PS- Camping a loot spawn is lame.

Anyone who does this a complete loser. You seriously have no self respect not to be a ninja looter? One star for this sad, sad guide. Using a timer? Jeez. I was literally shaking my head in disgust as I was reading this.

lol people **edit** just for the sake of bitching.
He is telling you a way to grab loot at a camped spot. No exploit here. If you spend hrs down there trying to get loot and always fail, here is a way to win at least some of the time.
When a spot like this is put in game what do you expect?
Camping, camping, and more camping.

For those who don't know what are the folks talking about here, below is a brief explanation:-
You can find "sockets" in clothes, belts and even backpacks. These are sockets for inserting "clothes enhancement tapes".
But where can u find those tapes which have skill enhancement (e.g. pistol accuracy, unarmed hit)? this Borgle Cave on Rori (with its waypoint marked in the POI tab on your datapad) is the answer.
You should go there in team and loot these tapes from containers. Don't bother to hit any borgle there unless you need xp.
Good Luck!

How do they afk marco though...
do the containers respawn items while open and they somehow send mouse clicks?
and more importantily...how do you compete against it?

You can leave the window open, when the loot spawns it will appear in the window. The problem is people are not using ingame macros, you can't Ingame macro the loose debris to auto loot it, instead they are using 3rd party Key and mouse recorders and setting them on timers. You can download one and time it so after 29 minutes and 55 seconds it begins to click a certain spot with your mouse as fast as you want it to. You then set the mark as over this open container, and leave it afk.
Some recorders offer speeds that are insane like 100s of clicks per second, how can anyone beat this?
I personally visite the place to see what the fuss was all about, and soon got the timing down, this was before the post from the jedi correspondent yet I had used many of his ideas.
Anyway as the stuff appears, everyone around me including myself began to complain that we were getting a message saying we did not have permission to access that item. This is with the window open mind you. the afk macros using the mouse recorders are so fast, the stuff doesnt even fully spawn before it is gone, it appears and in a blink is litterally gone. for the people who want to waste the 30 minutes of waiting down there to try and click where everyone has a shot, thats fine, but the afk macros have gone too far on this.
