I am sick of seeing:
-Entertainers AFK dancing their little routine all night while they sleep ( all the while begging for tips YAH EFFIN RIGHT! )
-Jedi grouped together AFK at a creature spawn, with attack macros set on area attack grinding away xp.
-Loot hunters grouped together at the bottom of popular caves that drop loot, AFK grinding loots
-SPAMMERS
-people /blink ing to keep from going AFK
it's got to end. It's destroying the competitiveness for those of us who ACUTALLY play the game, to level, loot, and chat without trying to fish through the spam.
Cry more noob, lol someone beat me to it
classic responses from those who fall under the "pink" category. /rolleyes

Q to the F to the E
my beef is that people who afk grind make the game less enjoyable for those who dont.
Spam is self explanitory and annoying.
loot spamminghoards all the loot at all times and gives no one else an opportunity to get it, as well asmakes these players rich, who in turn slant the economy to where only THEY can afford the 50 million foruber items.
Afk grinding levels peoples characters to uber status rapidly and those who dont have 24 hours a day to play are left getting their asses handed to them by jedi-knights who probably only played a fraction of the xp towards their jedi.
if looping gets implimented and these people leave... good riddance, it'd make the game a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Actually, I think the point of AFK grinding is for people who DON'T have 24 hours to play, but want to level fast, hence the "AFK" part of the AFK grinding. Just a thought though. I could be wrong... but I'm not.

I agree with the original post but only when it comes to looters, becuase it's just not fair. It drives up the economy and is prettydamn inconsiderate to people that might want a shot at a spawn like Lord Nyax's loot. As far as people grinding their template, getting there is half the fun...so I dont have 24 hours to play is not a good excuse.
Only"tehplayers" looking for an advantagegrind Master this way inthis game and are totally missing the point of star wars galaxies. Earn your titlespeople. Even you 12 year old 733t players have to admit its a lame, dumbass wayto have your xp "auto-earned". You can always spot these "players" because they have no clue as to how to commence combat against another and get a deathblow sandwich. Many level 80' 's don't being there. It's like getting a Congressional Medal of Honor you havn't earned. So pretty please, with sugar on top...Get a life.
I was born of fire...so be predictable you 733t baz nitches and bring on the flames!!!
I think you mean "1337" or "leet"
Not "teet" ![]()

I would hate to not be able to loop the afk macro. Going away from my keyboard to long and then having to reboot from the begining sucks.
looped macros allow me to maintina my sanity.
and you assume too much...i ground my jedi like mad on the ryyat trails, but was rarely afk for more than a few minutes. the same can be said of many of my group memebers...just because we're standing in one spot grinding with a looped macro on doesn't mean we aren't there. Sure we had looped macros on, but that just allowed me to spend that time socializing in groupchat and guildchat rather than mashing the same 3 keys over and over and over and over and over multiplied by months.
have you ever crafted??? you can't afk macro crafting but you can use a looped crafting macro to save you about 20 clicks per item...why do you insist that i develop tendonitis to master a craft????
afk entertainers?? don't be retarded. there wouldn't be ANY entertainers if they didn't allow lopped macros.
and why the hell is this in the game guides forum???
