Didn't they just ban a bunch of accounts for Ilum chest farming?

Nope, that was before the hackers and autoclickers were set up and actual level 20-40's were running around hitting chests up, and the salvage yards in the PvP area. That was all done by hand and no automated. And then they took the chests and resources out of the PvP zone, banned people that ignored their account warning, and called it a day.

Chest respawn every 7 min, 2-4k inside it, 600-800k per 24 hours. Lvl 50 player can make that in 2 hours.

I doubt this may ruin economy which already ruined (there are lvl49 crap augments which cost 100k on my server)

Oh really? Pretty sure dailies give a little over 200k. And how can they do it while out at the bar on a Friday night?

It doesn't punish legit players one bit. Wouldn't punish crafters who need to find higher level nodes. Wouldn't remove the freedom of going to any planet you want. And, it doesn't remove the chests.
This is actually a really, really neat idea.

honestly, who really cares if lvl 7's or 20's go and farm the chests on Ilum? It's not messing up my day. Just shows they're thinking outside the box. Oh wait, the BW jail wardens don't want you to think for yourselves and have you locked up on your starter world. And when you do try to make some extra money to get some good gear, BW says nope, sorry can't do that. What a load of crap really? I'm not talking about the hacks and bots either. If you're low lvl and get to Ilum and survive, welll kudos to you and you do deserve to get those chests. BW just needs to sit down, shut up, mind their business and fix this broken game already and not worry about if jedi johny is getting some extra money to buy that speeder - pathetic...

So, not only is a lowbie on Ilum hoarding a chest(s) they managed to unflag on a PVP server and become invisible to mobs.


yea got one of those on my server too.

ticket since 01/25/2012 status : ignored , what else... biowarexpresso

so i handled it, like the sith i am...

i killed the foreman , looted the chest, flagged myself for pvp and waited ... the toon logged in exactly 7 minutes after the last chest (large chests 20 minutes /small chests 7 minutes) , saw me sitting there and was like "w00t" (see the chat) but wasn't smart enough to stop the macro, so his toon clicked the handsome sith in the corner ...

i could swear i heard something like : 'Killing you will be... -such- fun...'

http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...estfarmer2.jpg

oh btw he used the probe and just stood there again .... still pvp flagged just some seconds later, the force wasn't strong with this one


it was quite entertaining since the quest i actually came for was buggy (the needed questitems in this area were "already in use") ... but that is another sith legend.

And how do you know how many credits exploiters are making? That raises some very interesting questions
~5k every chest every 7 minutes...do the math over 7 days.

money in this game is WORTHLESS

and if your high enough level to complain about this,your high enough level to realize you can solo Taral V and the Maelstrom Prison for 30k+ a run, 15minutes a run, that's 2k a minute or 120k an hour

I don't this will sink in, but it's supposed to tell you that credit farmers are doingitwrong
