Ranger Archive

Happens a lot it seems. Not sure if you can do anything about it, since someone controls all those players and probably pays for them. Perhaps something will be done about it though, never know.

These are penny by the hour chinese credit farmers, making some white punk ass american rich by playing SWG all day long and selling credits by the million to upper middle class punks who think they are above the rest of us and should be entitled to flash around their illigitimate funds anytime they like. Our town was banning them, but they'd come back either with another set of characters on the same account or a different set of accounts. There have to be hundreds of them out there running missions with like 4 workstations, 1 primary TK or pikeman or something who goes and takes out level 80 NPC mission lairs and leaves all the NPC's. We banned at least 10 groups from our city, and finally we just gave up on being an Improved Job Market and changed to research center.

You've encountered some Chinese Farmers, what do you want to do?
1. ignore them
2. say hello
3. attack them
4. ban them

At least option 4 makes it so they can't pull missions from your terminals anymore.

i pm'ed tiggs. and now me and another guy on my server are conversing with them. it's hilarious.

oh,, this group apparently is Japanese. or 'scick's, whatever those are LOL.

i emailed my guild to warn them, and for anyone with militia powers to ban them from the city. i'll ban them from my city when get back on tommorrow.

Meanwhile, the real rangers are running around tracking cloaked Jedi and getting sabered, what fun.

On topic, I have taken to just reporting anything that even looks suspicious. I have heard of huge gatherings of bot groups for ebay credit-farmers, and one guy reported them and every account got banned, in total over 40 accounts. So reporting is effecive I guess.

Our city on Dantooine on Wanderhome has had the odd group of credit farmers wander by. I thought of them as credit grinders...it never dawned on me they were credit sellers (what a noob). The militia just city bans them, but maybe they need to throw in a report as well. I will let them know.

That is wild, I've heard of similar things and money exchange services in other MMOs but nothing like that.

And to even think someone pays hundreds of dollars a month for crazy amounts of swg accounts (someone said 40 above??), scares me. It's nuts where some money goes in this world.

I've seen the same thing on Naboo on Valcyn. I was wondering what was up with that.

Same's been happening on bria. There was truck loads of them. I'm not sure if it was on my server or another but they were all white wooks. Oh and hello, first time posting on the ranger forums. Reasonably new masterranger here.
