It's getting on my nerves, were paying how much for these attachments while they just trun on a macro go on vacation for a week come back have an auction and make all the money. Their makinglots ofcredits for doing nothing, it sickens me how does this go on and nothing is done about it, i have some ideas to stop it however, any other ideas would be great. Also i've tried those aa'kuan champion missiosn and in 30 aa'kuans i didnt loot one SEA.

Don't they have that in WoW to counter-farming?

I looted 3 sea from a'akuans last night...as it was explained the loot system runs on a dice roll.....i grinded 800k of exp on a'akuan champions and only looted 3 sea somedays i get 1 for an all day a'akuan griind..so if you think your going out there and just smack around 30 and get 10 sea sadly thats not the case but i agree with you on the campers

I don't expect to get 10 in 30, but maybe 1, all i got was a few cargo pockets and some rings which is frustrating.

I can proudly speak of Cukoras accomplishments and greed isn't one of them he is one of the most helpful people on Ahazi and when he asked me to come to the caves to help him outdamage these afk campers It was all in frustration ....he was already in a group of frustrated people that didn't have the auto macros running at /pau .25 we tried but they were way faster than we could be....I ended up leaving the caves feeling that what was happening just wasn't right....and to think people thought AFK dancing was bad at least they provided a service to the community rather than the leeches that these people are....sorry for ranting ...just frustrated....

I don't even understand AFK'ing, why would you even consider it a game, if you are not playing. What is the point?? I have been playing this for 21 months and I still don't know an AFK macro, I don't even have the slightest idea how to set one up and guess what I don't want to know. When I am online I play, PLAY. I am there in the thick of things. Anything else would be like cheating at solitaire. AHHHHHHH, that felt good to get that out.

Because you can sell attachments for credits, and credits for real life cash on auction websites. Most of the AFK campers are part of large far eastern organisations who employ people toplay 24/7, looting stuff to sell on ebay and make hundreds of thousands of dollars. So thank the guys who use Ebay to fund their lavish in-game lifestyles for the proliferation of AFKing


Remember that these cash farms need accounts, and bybeing harsher onAFK farming, SOE would lose more accounts than it currently loses by people getting mad at AFKers. So deal with it and find somewhere else to loot. Oh, and also be happy that SWG isn't the most popular MMO, I'm sure that others have even worse problems with AFKing.

I think there's a simple solution to prevent AFK camping: Prevent loopingmacro's from runningat POIs and caves. And also If you log out in a POI/cave (for example the geo cave) you get removed from the POI/cave.
