You tried to force your opinion of how I should derive fun from a product I paid for on me. I don't have fun killing 30,000 nunas. I'd rather let my computer do it for me (since it seems to be required) so I can then go have fun with higher level attacks.

Which wasespeciallystrange for me since I don't even know you.

And it's not verycute how you claim I 'tried to force my opinion on you'. Yes, you payed for the game. Yes, you can play it however you choose, but onlyas long as it abides by the EULA(which you agree to every single time you click the 'I Agree' button before you log into the game). Me trying to explain what that means does not qualify as 'my opinion'(I am not SOE ).

I understand your frustration with having to spend so much time killing low level creatures, but if you look at it as 'only 30,000 more nunas to the next box', then sure it's going to suck. Coming to this forum to trash me(Maybe it wasn't your intent, but it sure looks like it) is not a good way to cope though.

Just because I don't have a lot of posts in here, doesn't mean I'm unfamiliar with grinding rifleman. My first time up AFKing was in no way an option. I was a wookiee, strike one. Riflemen took 2.5x melee damage, strike two. Attachments didn't work (speedcap, what's that?), strike three. Warning shot, headshot2, warning shot, headshot2, repeat ad infinum. Having done it that way I will do anything I can to ease the grind on people.

I didn't come here to flame you in particular, just didn't like the mis-information you were promoting. In the case of carbineers, I've been one of those too, I feel very sorry for them as they've been ignored almost completely, except when the devs decided to fix a single bug in their specials that gave them an advantage, nevermind that they have abysmal speed modifiers, and 2 half-decent specials. I like all the combat professions, but right now riflemen have it pretty good. Rifleman, TKA, and swordsman are working pretty well atm. Next comes fencer. Then pikeman and pistoleer. Commandos are at the bottom of the list, and carbineers are buried 6ft under. BH as far as combat goes work alright, I'd put them in with the fencers, they just aren't as popular due to the higher skillpoint requirements.

Since you seem to be able to use the search feature, please do so before making claims about other professions in the future, it would save you some grief and me some time

well XJ is correct

points to paragraph 7 in the eula.

7. You acknowledge that you are bound by the terms and conditions of the Software License and Limited Warranty that accompanies the Game. You acknowledge and agree that you have not and will not acquire or obtain any intellectual property or other rights, including any right of exploitation, of any kind in or to the software, artwork, music, and other components included in the accompanying CD-ROM (the "Software") or the Game, including, without limitation, in any character(s), item(s), coin(s) or other material or property. You may not use any third party software to modify the Software or to change game play. You may not create, facilitate, host, link to or provide any other means through which the Game may be played by others, such as through server emulators; additionally, you may not engage in matchmaking for multi-player play over unauthorized networks. You may not decrypt or modify any data transmitted between client and server; you may not use or distribute macros or other programs which would allow unattended game play. You may not take any action which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load (as determined by us) on our infrastructure. You may not buy, sell or auction (or host or facilitate the ability to allow others to buy, sell or auction) any Account or any Game characters, items, credits or copyrighted material or any other intellectual property owned or controlled by us or our licensors.

It's clearly referring to 3rd party programs to execute commands. Not my fault they created an in-game scripting engine that allows infinite repeptitions.

You still didn't answer how it harms you.

That's why God invented options. I bet the SOE devs were thinking of you when they put in that little thing about not seeing text from AFK players... well... no they were thinking of someone smarter than you... someone smart enough to use it. The jerk spamming while AFK without an AFK tag so you hear it even when you've elected not to on the other hand... really needs to be shot... twice. I don't really intend to be mean, but people complaining about things they have control over annoys the hell out of me.

That's right... FoEUo...

Just to encourage people to play the game I propose a change to AFK timers. At 20minutes of being AFK the game should either log you out automatically, or earn you a PVP TEF

I'm all for the PvP TEF. I'm pretty much a PvE exclusive player but I do wish I could plug the AFK Advert Bots that seem popular these days. I can't walk around a busy city without seeing some AFK fresh toon yelling every 60 seconds about some jackass's shop "Just 800m from this very spot." Now if these folks actually had barker droids I'd be semi ok with it, still annoying but atleast-IMHO-its a little more acceptable and adds a little color. Sure I've got 90% of the fools on Ignore but I'd like to just vent on them.

Because they are missing the point of the game, this game does not start when you reach master elite, it starts when you get novice basic. The different planets have areas to explore, each one designed for a different degree of skill. If you just afk or atk grind to master you will find it boring, then once you have reached master you will discover that most of the content in the game is too easy for you and will complain about that.

There are plently of places on the 5 starting planets where you can go hunt an intersting variety of critters or NPCs in dungeons and caves while gaining XP, cash and loot. If somewhere is too difficult for you alone, find a partner for that area... Have fun playing the game, relish the challenge that these areas give you while they still can. Innot to long a time you will be flying up the rifleman tree and be having fun all the way.

This game is not about reaching the end as fast as posible, it is about playing your way through it and discovering all the interesting places and people that are about along the way.

[To anyone who has ever played table top RPGs, how would you GM have responded if you had said "between now and next game my fighter is going to be out in the woods killing any animal that wonders near him, i want the XP when i start next weeks game" - I know how I would respond as a GM and how most of my mates who GM would respond ]
