Thread: Mayors please be aware of credit farming in your city
I am notevengoing to talkabout the TOS volations they are doing by selling credits on eBay.
The other major reason we city ban is that they make the area aroundour city unsafe for low combat level players such as crafters who have to check harvesters, entertainers and new players.How? By only killing the lair and leaving the high level MOBs just hanging around.Our city feels that it is thejobof theMayor & Millitiato see to it thatALL citizensare safe in adn aroundour city.
City Polocy is that will notallow credit farmers touse our city as a base toobtain missions from. Period.

1) Group payouts do not work when the group members are not in range of the mission. I do not recall what the official range is, butthrough experience I have learned thatif you are more than 300m away from the lair/base you do not get paid when the mission is accomplished. Only the people at the mission get their pay. So, that would mean that 7 of the people are on /follow? LOL!
Do we have a better email yet? We've had a group of them running around kettemoor for a couple days. They have been banned from several cities, but would be nice to have a direct report. My citizens who originally found them and followed them got them warned by a CSR, yet they were back again the next day (even though 7 of the 8 had already been banned from the city lol).

If you see this happening, please send an e-mail with "Credit Farming" somewhere in the subject line to [email protected] and include the character and server names of the suspected credit farmers. If you have a time and general waypoint, include that as well.
That's the general Customer Service e-mail, but I'll see if I can find a more direct e-mail for this kind of issue.
What this also hurts is the fact that these people run through 8 missions of NPC's and kill only the lair. They leave all kinds of NPC's wandering around just outside town in their wake.
This is ok if you are a CL80 toon but if your city happens to have crafters that need to check harvs, factories etc it becomes a real pain in the arse and a form of griefing those crafter types.
It also increases the lag in the area to the point that some people cannot craft because server response time is so slow.
Just some other thoughts to think about for those that think this is just a harmmless activity. it isn't, it hurts other players and these a$$$hats doing this should not only be banned SOE should shut down their accounts.
