If someone lower than Level 50 wants to explore Ilum, that's fine. However, the operative word here is "explore", which means *moving* around an area. In the case of that Level 12 character, it's blatantly obvious that they are there solely for the purpose of camping the chest/node to get its high-level items repeatedly, thus depriving appropriately-leveled characters from accessing gear/resources they would actually use.

While I would not necessarily advocate banning people from visiting Ilum before Level 50, I think that the level range should be more restrictive, perhaps in the 45-50 range. If items need to have the proper Light Side/Dark Side/Social level, then why not high-level zones which offer appealing gear/resources?

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times in this thread. When i was level 12 and i tried to just visit my friends ship it wouldn't let me. I think it was when i tried clicking on his ship to enter that it kicked me out of the hangar, saying that i cannot enter any ship until i have my own ship.

I'm not sure how others are being allowed to tag along if this is the case.

Seen a bot in ilum on my server, reported.
It was doing pretty much the same thing, sitting by a box and looting it the instant it appears.

Those boxes should be level restricted and i do believe it's amazingly easy to script a detection mechanism that can detect botters.

Rofl, imagine a guy strolling through the woods. Powerful monsters stalking him behind every tree. He sees a gold coin on the ground. He's all alone. He picks it up. He's now staring at the login screen saying "You have been banned for 48 hours".

Enable the option to let others join your instanced class quests, bring highlevel friend to boost you, get ship by lvl 11..

yep make sure their grouped and they go to your hanger before you do... if you go first you will just auto kick them out of your thing..also make sure you have the shared class story thing turned on through your preferences ;-)

i got help on some class quest i had to do via my ship boarding another ship via class mission...its really cool to have your buddies riding around with you on your ship
