I don't like afk campers and I don't afk camp. Hell, I don’t even go down to Nyax anymore because it’s so boring. 95% of time it’s grenades or broken mods. But I rather deal with AFK’ers then carebear the competition out of the game and kill all the good AFK things like buff bots and being able to get my mind healed.
The post it does point out some of the problems associated with making good loot easily available to everyone. The few weapons smiths I know are already having problems. It's getting to the point that more people are walking in with their own tissue then walking in to buy a gun.
If you instance lord Nyax in his current form you create a personal +17 SEA spawner for everyone in the game and make a lot of the other sea dropping content next to pointless. Why bother with elders when you can just go get a handful of SEA’s from Nyax. Might as well just put +17’s on Meatlumps. Would be a lot easier to do and wouldn’t take up the memory and processing power that instancing would.
In the single case of the Nyax it looks like people can't deal with it so maybe it is best just to remove the loot from him.

That way we don't have to worry about SEAs flooding the market and real hunters- not AFK and uber loot campers- can actually earn their own loot instead of having to pay for it, and the little loot-whor3z can have their competition a little less often.
First off, the corvette isn't a loot factory. The point is it would be if it weren’t guarded by SBD's and a convoluted process to get a ticket. Which are good examples of how loot in instanced areas has to be gated.
Where ever the best loot drops, that 's where the competition will be. You move it from one place to the other and the "AFK and uber loot campers" will follow. You’re better off working towards the abilities and friends to compete with them.
I don’t mind AFK’ers that much. Someone who isn’t at their keyboard can’t adjust put power ups on or call in friends. For the most part easier to beat.
