Loot camping is the stupidest thing I can think of allowing in a game. Instance the rooms where the static spawns drop and put a timer gate on them for the player.

Woohooo, I'm with ya bud, as a casual player that doesn't many loot runs, I popped over to Nyax cos I heard it was dropping good stuff and am confronted by 3 afk campers, one of which is a swordsman with a hammer with insane damage. Just imagine a noob thats doing a tour of the POI's, what sort of impression of the game is that gonna give them.
It's the biggest, suckiest part of the game right now.........apart from the millions of jedi but thats another matter

Yepp something must be done against the afk campers.
Timer could be ok, BUT if you a noob a cave can take a LOOOOONG
time to reach the bottom

Best would be to just remove the attack and cycle target command from the macro's, i.e. block them.
Problem solved.

You would still get some lamers with nothing else to do camping for hours at a time, especially if they only have to wait 10min in between

i would just get over it... seriously though. have u seen krayts lately? they drop pearls very consistently lately. i am averaging about 9mil in creds AFTER me and my partner split the money. only done a few buff sessions so far though so i am only at 40 somethin mil. i camped nyax a few times got maybe around 10 kills in and havent gotten a good CA or AA really yet.. got one nice posture down defence 18 but thats it. 50-75% the time u get grenades and the all the other cept 5% u get broken mods. the 5% left u get a good CA and he is on a 30 minute timer.. not 5 or 10 like everyone says

somehow someway make them attackable. keep macros the way they are for the ones that dont abuse them but if /poke or something it breaks their macro loop.

Actually the stupidest was the borgle cave; however, this is just about as bad. What they need to do is instance these things. If they are so insistant on providing the cheaters and the afkers with short cuts, then for gods sake instance this if they instanced it the following occurs:
1. Everyone gets a chance at the content.
2. The prices of the camped items goes down (which is a deterrant to the afkers)
3. People have to be at the keyboards to actually get to the NPC/creature.

couple of things.
1) he is on a 20 min timer on corbantis
2) in one buff session I got two good CAs over plus 10 on both
3) nyax can be solo'd quite easily with good armor, buffs and a power hammer
instancing is the way to go.
