Ok, since the CU hit we could probably fill up 4-5 pages at least with people whining about how trapping is too hard and how SOE needs to "fix" it for them so they can be uber trappers just because they are CL 80 and can't hit a krayt with a trap even though they've never thrown a single trap their entire life. Well now for all those out there with those problems there's a solution, just wait for Publish 18, at which time everyone will be given a token respec and you can just respec a scout xp line into trapping and then just regrind the scout xp line.
There you go, nice easy way to do it by doing absolutely nothing, which is how it sounds like so many people want it anyways. One positive note about that respec is that at least a large portion of the whining should stop.
Btw, this is reposted here from the Scout forum as I know not everyone reads that forum as well.

Oh what the heck I will respond:
At cl 80 you can't get trapping experience on ANYTHING nuna,rats,ANYTHING. As anything it will stick on gives 1 trapping xp...Let me repeat it one more time... on ANYTHING. Perhaps this will help to illustrate the problem in a simple manner.
EDIT: To make it even clearer that means the first trapping box would take throwing/sticking 1000 traps...and thats the first box. It isn't a matter of "too hard" it is a matter of that not making much sense.Also speaking as someone who was an ex ranger pre cu the second master scout on my server..and the 4th master bounty hunter it isn't that I am afraid of grinding(obviously) it is that something is seriously broken with the system.

Oh I understand the problem perfectly, I've read many threads about it, most of the people having problems with it are ones that used the respec time to go into scout/ranger to harvest and check it out etc. If they got in that way they should have no problems with doing it again to shift points into trapping. As far as the rest go just buy a trapping droid, I think if you're lucky you can get up to a what, +60 I believe it is. Even if you only get a +50 that's the same as having master scout.

unfortunately doesnt work when your cl 80 you cant currently get your trapping up high enough to gain more than 1 xp per trap. I have both a topped out droid and +21 dweezel I tried with
edit: btw when I tested it on dant the droid made 0 difference in my stick rate

I just can't see why people atre complaining, maybe i'm positively bugged or something, but ihave just hitcl80 and all this week i have been doing cl82 lairs using the p-dart and rifles combo, my traps stick first throw almost 90% of the time and the rest of the time the second will do the job, only once so far have i had to throw a third trap, 1 single trap per mob nets me in excess of 3k trapping xp per mob, so how come you guys can't get xp?

Actually ignore my above post, just realised why i am getting xp and others aren't, i already had the full trapping line in ranger, so was able to trap higher lebvel creeatures.

There's also the new trapping tapes introduced by the CU.
I have a +5 in my belt and am currently bidding on a +5 and a +4.

make traps by hand like a cafter....yes making trap still gives you trapping xp...so go make traps until you level up enough to be able to hit stuff 
....There's my good deed for the day.....lol....now go pass on a good deed yourself

AFAIK making traps still grants Wilderness Survival XP, so this won't work. This XP is thenconverted to Scout XP once you re-log.

That's correct, I just tested it and made a wire mesh trap, got 12 Wilderness Survival xp, logged out and back in and it had moved over to Scout xp.

Just dived in and checked this.
Phec dart, 4pts scout XP, 40pts Wilderness Survival XP crafted on the hoof, generic crafting tool.
Logged out of toon, logged back in, no conversion of points....
Exited game and restarted, points converted over to Scout XP.
NO TRAPPING XP So, get back to tossing!
