I have read several threads that imply that POI spawns have been changed to only spawn once per day. I am at work and am curious if this is true or just rumor?
I looked for threads with more details and looked for any new patch notes. Is it true or just an ugly rumor?
PLEASE: I am not trying to pertetuate a rumor, so unless people can confirm it, no not think it is true just because of my question.

Cant confirm it. But in the last few days every POI I have gone to has been empty. I was going to ask the same question...

To get the POI badge you dont have to kill anything. I am a oure crafter and was able to drive around and collect all 45 badges. Not sure where you get the idea you have to kill anything.

Well there are a lot of non-badge POIs that are just fun to visit and fight at. For instance, I prefer to go visit and fight at the Mokk stronghold rather than just taking Mokk missions. I lose out on the money, but I get more of a challenge since thereare so many more Mokks there. There are not too many alternatives to missions in this game and places like the Crystal cave or the Mokk place or the Blueleaf temple are a nice break from the same missions over and over.

It's Obvious why they are doing this guys, its to stop people power leveling in caves like crystal and aakuan for Jedi XP. Just another way SOE have made things hard for the trying extremely hard to be jedis. Which again thankfully i got my jedi in Feb, but now i think they have abused the game by making it pathetic to get jedi. The exit quest is the daftest thing ive ever heard, how is it a test of ones skill if they need to take an army just to kill the mob. Sorry but this is stupid.
The other bonus is to fighting in these caves is Loot.. aakuan rings etc, now if people were PLing in them they would hord items. Dont you think its a bit odd how they nerfed the squill caves due to people leveling in there rather quick, and oh look after patch 10 now they have nerfed all the other caves.
They are trying also to push people to non active planets like Endor and Dathomir which for the most part are pretty dead, the lata becoming more busy since the patch and the village.
Due to SOE's actions in screwing all the guys who want and have been trying for along time to get jedi, our guild dispanded and we closed our accounts, we no longer want to pay money to a company that has made it a total mess for the players out there, just to prolong them in game to make more money out of them, sure i understand its a clever business model and approuch but!! no need to grief the players doing it open up more planets, add more quests, put boss mobs in occasionally like a renagade BH so people need groups to wipe out his gang stuff like that not patch 10.
Sorry if i have come across angry, i have just seen alot of broken hearts in game over the past days since the patch, it has made us feel guilty running around as a jedi

I am not sure that this has happened to prevent power-levelling. After all, the biggest place of all to power level is the Geonosian Cave, and that place is spawning just fine. A response would be nice if this is the new "working as intended" or if it is a bug introduced with pub 10.

I concur it could possibly be a bug. Yet i have seen many stelf nerfs since beta that i feel itsanother. Lets hope i am wrong for all of you, Some of them caves can be fun. Would sux if they made it a day spawn. Wheres the fun of looking into empty caves?? Sure u get a badge as soon as you go in.. Great.. but being entertained by accomplishment, and clearing the cave makes that badge even more worth while.

Power leveling in caves? Please the caves always had a slow respawn. If i wanted to powerlevel I would get into solo groups. Still pull Quenker missions and get 40-50k exp per mission. Way more than a cave. The same goes with the loot. You can pull Aa'kuan missions by having enough people in the group so that isn't it either. Also the two places like that where peole got xp was/is the Tusken Fort and Geoniosian Cave (since the Mercs got bugged) and as far as I know neither of them are like this. I do not know for sure if the Geo Cave was hit by it as well as the Acklay because I haven't been there yet, but I know that the Tuskens at the fort still spawn normally. If anyone says Jedi don't go in solo groups that is bull too, I was in one with three the other day. Also why do you think Dathomir is a dead planet? It was always full of people when the Nightsisters had no powers at all. Now there will be plenty of people on it going back and forth to the Village.
