Direct effect on smugglers and the GCW as far as grinding faction points.

The recursive macro is almost required for large orders unless you want advanced carpal tunnel.

Highly suggest that if you remove the recursive macro, you make smuggler faction purchases much more user friendly.

Smugglers, at Underworld 4, gain the ability to purchase faction from recruitors.

Combined with /delegatefaction, this was allowing smugglers to purchase and sell faction to other players.

The recruitor sells, through fixed dialog options, faction in increments of:

• 125 faction for 10,000 credits ( 80 credits per faction point)


• 10 faction for 1,000 credits ( 100 credits per faction point)

Smugglers have a limit to how much faction they can purchase using this ability at 500 faction points. Using delegatefaction we are able to keep under 500 faction points, and continue to purchase faction with credits in order to get larger orders accomplished.

These orders and this smuggler abilityhave greatly influenced the GCW and without them, the GCW would have been brought to a halt long ago as far as most perk using activities exist. It's also the only reason most smugglers even go up this skill tree.

Macros are virtually required at this point, as clicking on the dialog options are overly tedious and produce poor results.

1. 500 faction cap - it forces smugglers to work in very small transfers.
   
   
   
   • Solution:
     
     
     
     • Raise this to at least 1000 faction.
       
       
       
       • This prevents smugglers from buying too much faction for themselves, allowing them to gain ranks too quickly, etc.


2. Faction purchases are in fixed increments that are too small.
   
   
   
   • Solution:
     
     
     
     • When the player chooses to 'donate' money, have a new window appear that has a sliding scale instead of the choice between the two payment schemes.
     
     
     • Fixcreditsto faction point at 80: 1
     
     
     • Allow us to purchase through the new window anywhere from 0 to our maximumamount.


3. Continued use results in 'spamming' the zone, as the recruitor keeps saying 'Thank you'.
   
   
   
   • Solution:
     
     
     
     • Have all dialog private between you and the recruitor.
