The chest was not intended to be looted every single time it spawned, 24/7...
"Skill" is the only PvP stat anyone should ever need.

The only people that might defend botting, are the ones doing it, I dont know why you try to explain the issue to those 2 or 3 here who dont want to see the problem, they are simply exploiting it.

I agree, the ones you find kicking and screaming defending an action are usually guilty of the same action in one sense or another.

Just do what I said earlier.

Lock a chest you open from being opened by your character for a 24hr period. You can still farm but you have to spread it out. Simple and clean.

No, I just dont think you have any ownership interest in that chest. It belongs to the first guy to get it. It doesnt matter what level the guy is, it injects the same amount of credits into the economy either way. If someone is using an exploit, ban them. but the guys wanting a level limit arent interested in that. Because we all know level 50's cant us bots or exploits.

BTW: I have never been on Ilum. so accusing me of botting is stupid. I plan on getting a level 30 and going to look at ilum today, the planets in this game have some cool artwork.

it is intended to be looted everytime it is clicked. thats the way its programmed. if they wanted a lower frequency, it would have a longer respawn.

I have reported the same people for over 2 weeks. So yes, and almost every other 50 has reported them. You can also see them because they "unstealth" to sell to the medic. And the hack is also glitchy and they pop up for a second or so sometimes.

You can't loot a chest and stay stealthed, so squash that right now.
I have been saying this kind of things goes on in pve and pvp for over a month. Every single time I do the posts get removed from BW and people say, "I've never seen it, I don't believe there is hacking in this game."

The fact that this game does not use any type of memory monitoring just continues to encourage people to cheat.

Wrong. The credits that are farmed are then sold externally to the game to people. Those people can purchase large amounts of credits (well above what they may be able to gather in the game) and purchase items for extremely high prices without caring. Why? If they need more credits they go buy them and repeat. the sellers then push their items higher on the GTN because they will get purchased. Everyone who are getting credits now the right way will see an overly inflated GTN due to the influx of the illegal credits. This has happened over and over in almost all MMOs which is why almost all of the have something about buying currency and farming in their EULA language.

I have a better idea:

Place champions next to EVERY chest, BUT each champion drops a key. Only this key can unlock the chest and is a one time use item. It also despawns after 5 minutes of being looted.

Thus, you have to kill the mob even if you can stand by the chest without aggroing.
