Perhaps the credits went to the cloning fee? Assuming he had less than 500 credits which I believe is the current going rate.


But bottom line: there is absolutely not one validreason to give away credits to a beggar in SWG

Our guild has a standing policy that we don't give away to beggars. There's ALWAYS something the person can do as a service or trade in exchange for credits. Anyone who is just walking around asking for credits isn't doing themselves any favors. Go earn your stuff and you'll be all that much more proud when you're walking around in full armor.

Good point, its possible I suppose. The interesting point for me was that he didn't have a title displayed, he'd obviously been playing long enough to get to grips with the less importatn stuff.


Unfortunately it's my opinion it was nothing more than a scam.

And strangely enough, the game actually gets more fun! Remember fun? That thing we used to have before we knew what 'grind' meant.


Actually, I noobed myself out earlier. Pulled a couple of missions in Theed for Tusk Cats to grind TK with (never done anything with them before), as a guy was asking to buy their meat. Excellent thought I, shall I buff, nah lets not bother.


5 mins later Im open jawed as I look at the decay report in the cloner. Hmm....

LOL...yup! On a regular basis, I go to dathomir with my character...unbuffed and no bike. You want to know challenging? Go take a walk from the science outpost to the imperial prison...unbuffed. Yeah, it'll take a long time, but you're not on a timer since no buffs. Fight stuff on the way. It's still doable...not easy, but doable. Keeps me sharp. The game is MUCH more fun with danger in it. I can't wait until buffs are nerfed and people are crying for help to handle NS Rangers or a rancor lair.

what happened was he probably slap or whatever a stormtrooper and they took his money. Maybe all of it. I know when your a new player u dont lose any money when cloning due to new player exemptions. Or he was just a bagger trying to be somewhat creative

Couple of nights ago I was in Bestine and a guy with no badges and unguilded, assume a noob, came asking all around for credits. He said that all his money had been looted by a NPC when he had been killed. He had been carrying all his cash apparently.


Nobody around had heard of this and he wan't believed, apart from one guy who gave him a speederbike.


So, can this happen? IF so,great,a little more risk in the game.

you used to have your credits that were on your person stay with your corpse (they were called corpse runs to go get them back)


or he could have been scanned by a ST.
