Just put champions with a high lvl stealth detect next to the chests. What I also don't get, except for a hack, why people on the opposite faction aren't farming the lvl 7s on Ilum. I thought you got flagged for pvp on Ilum?

Why is this a significant issue? At level 50, those chests aren't going to drop anything you need, just some credits. Credits are awfully easy to come by, so someone else getting the chest really doesn't harm you.

Why not include that amount in the corpse or even better, make the chest a blue item that's a certain drop from the champion? Why must it spawn in the game world?
I've never understood this either. The chest design (especially un-guarded... what genius thought of that idea??) is just begging for issues like this. Make it an elite/champion kill, and it's fine.

It is botting, exploiting and it is against the HOLY EULA!!! How can't you understand such simple things?!

Correct me if I'm wrong here but gold sellers and hackers aside, if you fight the champion mob can't I loot/ninja the chest from you given that I'm not in combat?

Another kind of drama would then ensue..

I´ve reported several on Corellia and Tatooine. Not one, not two, not tree, times but many...

Only to see if they will reply something other than an automated text full of jibberish...
Now i will not continue to do so because they dont care about this issue at all. Infact
thers no CS at all in this game. Yesterday we did EV and the loot bugged at several
bosses. Could not loot the chest and so on. Made tickets about it. Still same automated
response, telling me that no further discussion is possible bla bla blahh...

Well... I still love the game but the in-game CS is the worst i have ever seen in my whole
life...

No, I'm arguing that the chest should go away entirely, and the loot/credits moved to the elite/champ corpse.

Allowing level 7's to stand next to a mob of the same faction while they use an autoclicker to loot chests 24/7-/facepalm
Funny during later beta I said "I don't think low level players should be able to go to Ilum" and I was basically yelled at with people wanting an "open game" to "do whatever they want". After numberous Ilum scandals, I have determined that...

I was right. You shouldn't be able to go to Ilum until Act 3 of your story.

The real solution to this is not to have chest spawn in the same place all the time. That is just a recipe for abuse. They should move around. End of an potential for afk farming.

Same.

Here is the response I received:

"I have received your transmission regarding your issue about a level 12 sniper camping a chest on Corellia. Thank you for sending us a report regarding this issue. However, we are not able to interfere with intended in-game mechanics"

Level requirements for planets will only delay the issue - the "farmers" will level up their character [probably using exploits] and then just go back to camping the chests.
