Thread: For pity's sake, can we do something about the AFK looters?

Ok - you have nothing to add to this.
Explain what "skill" this person is doing standing by a loot box and afk-looting it for hours on end? Is it "skill" to cheat the system and use a third-party macro to keep looting AFK?
Your in denial if you think this is "skill"
Perhaps in your muddled thinking this is "skill" but judging by your reply, you have bigger things to worry about.

In the end,
SOE is not against "hiring" people that care ..
they are just against "empowering" them to act on it.
And SOE doesn't have enough faith in the long-term "prospects of profitability" of this net-based gaming platform...
in order to justify putting any more time or money into it, then they already have to.

Haha,
Those Aa'kuancave campers are funny... Everybody should just stop buying non-jedi SEAs with mods lower than +6...
I don't understand why they camp there. But I took a few screenies everytime I went there just because I don't like AFK loot campers. Same guy 4 days in a row in the group lol.
Anyway, in a week and a half I looted far more valuable SEAs
Silly campers.
Oh and using macros or 3rd party software to automate this isn't uber/hardcore/l33t. You just either get told how to do it from a friend or searched the net and found a guide. Unless you actually wrote the application to perform these tasks, you are not *insert-random-uberness-term* Those are not "skills"
Thoughts on solutions:
1) (duh) Randomize spawn times for key loot NPCs/creatures
2) High level NPCs break cloak (e.g. wrt above, SBDs would be a start)
3) Timer on Feign Death (why lay around all day dead?), or smart NPCs that randomly attempt a deathblow on corpses
4a) Looping macros can only be recursively called X times (X = 10?) before they need to be called again
4b) Alternatively, only allow elite crafting professions to use looping macros (this should muck up most templates designed for looting)
5) Build in detection to discover campers (ie. the last50 kills were from the same logical spawn) and start spawning silly-high level creatures (dis-incentive to camp the same spot, which will almost guarantee death)
-b
Now the only problem he would have is if invetory was filling, he could check ever so often or have a thirdparty macro running for that to clear it, probaly by check some color at a point and the deleting it if it didnt match what he wanted.
In the end it still sucks, and nothing is going to be done about it, so either join them or stay on the high ground and choose to not buy there crap like alot of us do. On my server there is on person with 4 alts that never leaves the Akuaan Cave, never bought a ca/aa from the guy.
I could have healed them again but I wasn't aware they were AFK at the time and fully expected them to kill the NPC *shrug*.
Perhaps if you go afk for more than 1.5 hours in the game you should appear on the mission terms for BH's. If you're not inside a house that is...
