Security Chests Are Ruining The Economy...

At 3500 a pop and a respawn of 8.5 minutes ( your claimed numbers averaged). You guildie has been farming chests for 324 hours. You tell me if his time was worth it? I think he deserves the cash if he can sit there and do that without botting or shooting himself in the head.

I dont log on the game to be a slave to dailies,

I like to have fun.

with all the bugs and stuff a causal player could never keep up with repair bills.

and i blow through 200k in hour easy. infact my guild has been given me money to repair and re spec last week of playing.

They just need to actually ban the players that farm them.

Like Locuss on Daragon Trail who is level 13 been chilling in Ilum for 3 weeks and still just kicking there.


Good job for 'protecting' the economy right?

I sell spaceship upgrades for between 50-80K a piece on the GTN and craft them while offline...sounds a lot more profitable to me than chest camping but thats just my notion.

Also, playing a game to start a business when there's hardly anything to spend money on? Uh...ok.

Nah, waste of resources.
They are probably RL traders. They will dissapear once they realise there is no demand for their product.

I miss the days before the nerf!

Ok... so 8,000,000 / 4k per box = 2,000 boxes... at 7 min, that is 233 hours... thus 29 days 24/7 to get to 8 mil.

I am sure he does more than camp boxes.?.?.?

WUT?
Are you playing the same game we are?
My worst pug failgroup for hardmodes was a total of 37k, and that took 1.5 hours.

Bet you're not even 50 yet. But lets just make stuff up yeah?

Agreed... your talking in the ballpark of 25-30k credits an hour (being generous) based upon the OP's numbers.

I can make more than that on several activities - including dailies and space missions...

I hate to sound obnoxious and obvious, but:

You're doing it wrong bro.

Seriously if you blow through 200K in an hour something is seriously wrong with how you're playing. I couldn't blow through 100K in an hour much less 200K. I pretty much repair my gear when it hits 10-20% durability and that's only during operations. I'd say on average we have about 6 wipes per EV due to various bugs, or people standing in fire.

Other operations will vary of course, but we can finish EV in one night, then tackle the others the following night and extend it to another night if we have to. Which leaves pretty much 4-5 days of doing whatever I want, whether it be farming a couple of dailies for half an hour, pvp, or leveling alts.

Very little effort is needed to make money in this game, you either don't know about the dailies, or don't care to do them. As a casual player myself, it takes very little time and effort to do the dailies. If you can't even commit 1 hour to doing dailies, that's not "Casual" that's "Comatose".
