Far too much like the city warn of old.

Good idea, but I would rather not have to make my citizens climb to the top of one of our buildings. I'll tell you what was funny though last night. I ended up spending about 50k doing it, but I kept picking up our terminal when they walked over to it....dropping it back when they started to walk away. Every time I put it back they would turn around and start walking back to it.... Then believe it or not, they started to give me grief, that what I was doing was 'unfair'.

LOL!

If you see suspected credit farmers, please contact a CSR so they can investigate the situation. They may not come right away, but if they know the names to look for they can keep an eye on it.

I like your sign (credit farmers GO HOME!) but I hate to tell you most of these kids can't even speak english...lol. They are in some basement somewhere in Singapore getting paid the equivalent of 10 cents/hr for 12 hour days playing SWG. It's sick to think of what some money hungry people will do to make a buck.

Sounds like a free factional base.

Khristen, the problem I'm seeing is that these people farming credits are using random character names (something like kertguf, wavbt, etc.). They don't stay terribly long. It seems like there are a bunch of em that rotate through. This makes it next to impossible to ban them or report them. By the time CSR's get there, they've logged and been forgotten.

My residents are happier to go climb to the roof of one of our buildings if it means these people have a harder time farming. I hate to think of an SWG sweatshop, but such things I guess exist. /shiver

I'm going to just move the faction terms to a harder to get at location. The mere fact that they have to navigate the building, get to the roof, and head back down before going out to the mission should make this grind not worthwhile to the cred farmer. Let's hope it works.

im sorry to ask , im a bit new to all of this CREDIT FARMER ??? and how is this a bad thing , i need more info plz

i do have an idea , if its not a stupid one , cant you place thease terminals inside a House , some large house placed by a Citizen and u as mayor have admin rights there and place the terminals and entry list only state the names of your pals , citizens or friends that you are wanting to use thease said terminals

basically credit farmers are people that play the game to collect money/loot and then sell it in the real world via e-bay and the like. The problem is they can often get very posessive about spawns and such as "this is there job" and if you interfere, you are interfrering with their real life livelyhood.

Often in true PvP games . . . if you enter their "area" they will kill you so you canot interfere with them.

The easiest solution is to remove the terminal which they work from . . . they should get the message to go elsewhere if the terminal isn't there when they log on now and then.

As a note, i read that the country of China is banning all minors from playing online games which include any form of PvP content. Wish I had the link but someone posted about it on the forums once.
