I'll show you OP, I still have all of Voss and Corellia to do yet on my 50 Merc. I'm gonna wait until Tuesday to start doing them just so you can whine that someone is gaming the system by playing the game. Really I don't get your logic. They are still doing the missions not getting credit for NOT doing them. So who really cares if they save them up to turn in at one time? How does that affect you? It doesn't. There are better things to gripe about than this.

You can only have 3 Quest in the completed que

them not turning in for the completed que is no different than them doing it. I myself have 3 planets that i haven't touched.

Now as for Ilum ... nope, no effect on me. I hit Ilum with my 50's to get enough rep and coins to buy my blue eyeball. Got it and done. Haven't been back since. Won't be back.

Now.. as far as bolster goes .. what difference did it make to ANYONE... how ANYONE else leveled? None, correct? Yet, there was an outcry and the devs stepped in and said "unintended". THE DEVS said it.

I can't slow this down for you.. so maybe have someone read it to you slowly.

The .. same .. mechanic .. applies .. to makeb .. for early .. access ...

t it for tat. Gaming xp for levels on ilum during double xp ... applies to gaming levels for ealry access.

look, I do NOT care how anyone levels... I do NOT care if anyone buys credits ... and to be honest I don't care how they treat this -- I just thought I'd make a vocal outcry concerning it. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

They messed with the double xp in regards to Ilum ... the SAME positional is in place for early access makeb. Fix it like they did with the other.

fair? i think so.
Ok... It is not the same. Not even close. But, I'm not going to explain it to you. There is no need. I think everyone sees it but you. So slow it down for yourself if you like. It might make a difference as you rationalize your need to respond.

Thanks for the entertainment though. Delusions can be fun for those not deluded.

Ok this is it for real.. just had some fun after reading my pms (thought that one guy wrote me.. nope). I learned about reporting posts and folks getting butt hurt.. so, I went through and returned the favor (in hopes I got one or two of em).. at any rate.. enjoy the pms you get .. =D

I'm not going to bother quoting and responding since when I do.. it doesn't matter, folks aren't reading it any way and are simply writing in a knee jerk fashion ... "read thread title.. maybe the last post or two ... respond".. =|

QUOTE ME --- At any rate - once again ... I .. do .. not .. care ... how any one levels. ---QUOTE ME
(any posts after this.... QUOTE that.. so we all know you actually read the thread, or.. sigh.. read this post)

I just think that if the devs "fixing" ilum leveling WHILE saying it is NOT an exploit .. they should look into this. And fix it as well.

I mean, can't have 50's doing what sub 50's were doing right? that wouldn't be fair.

Ok, you all have a great day .. no harm meant.. it was all about trying to bring this to light and have some verbal jousting (though, some folks got some very, very thin skin ... yet I'm made fun of).

Well, at any rate ... have a coke and a smile =D
Just a FYI -- I will more than likely not respond back to the message this is attached to. Because, quite frankly, I said what I had to say and I really don't care beyond that. Have a nice day .. =)

Let the people who want to "game" the system (using that term loosely here) hand in their missions. I personally see no sense in trying to advance through an entire expansion asap, ready the following week with a rant describing how little there is to do.

Seriously OP, play at your own pace and enjoy the game. Pay no attention to the ones who rush content.

there's no gameing the system with this involved. whats's the differance between this and my tuesday just doing the dalies before I do Makeb? absolutly none. fact is apparently the XP on makeb is slightly lower then whats actually needed (which is fair you tend to hit 50 before your done with corellia so long term this isn't an issue) but BW's proably expecting us to do this kind of thing to make up for the "lost" XP on our 50s.

They NEVER said it was free and never said they would charge. The only thing that was said they hadn't decided if it would be free or not. This subject has been beaten to death and still people don't get it.

"Gaming The System Method":
Folks will fill their 25 quest limit (why hasn't that limit been expanded upon by now?) with level 50 quests, only to then turn them all in (while using XP boosts), and gain about a level (out of the gate, thus giving an unfair and unintended?? advantage) or so thereabouts. Sure.. a level or two.. or a level and a half isn't much in the scheme of things, but - it's still there.

Everyone can do the same thing so no there is no unfair advantage here.

I recall a certain outcry concerning the double XP, Ilum, Gree event ... I dunno. It's kinda hazy. According to all concerned ... power leveling wasn't meant to be a by product and thus changes were made (that effected legit players.. dang.. really??? Wow.. that must have been one hell of a tight panty twist players presented (because as we all know, via the thorough testing you have in place, it would have been caught prior to going live).

Double XP was never tested on the PTS so not sure where you get your information from. It might have been tested internally but with a small group of people testing that feature it was probably overlooked. You do realize the developers and QA and other departments are HUMAN and are prone to making mistakes and oversights just like you and I.

Well, here is a clear cut case of power leveling right out of the gate with Makeb or whatever it is.

Soooooo .. my petition to you, the powers that be -- you are NOW made aware of the XP "exploit" (not intended - see ilum) byproduct of the live release of the new planet. Are you going to wait or are you going to take steps NOW to ensure folks can not gain XP in non intended ways? -- wipe .. WIPE allllll level 50 quests at login.

This is one of the dumbest things I have read on these forums and that is saying a lot. This is not meant to attack you personally but next time think before you make a post like this.

On the 8th, make a login announcment to turn in any quests pending at level 50 or lose them. Simple. On the 9th, any quests pending will be wiped at login.

It's the ONLY FAIR thing to do (considering what you did to the Ilum quests). Unless of course there is some kinda weird double standard thing going on.

Thank you for your time.
Seriously nothing you wrote makes a bit of sense. Saving quests that you actually did and turn them in on dbl experience weekends was intended. You comparison of the Illum unintended way of leveling is not in the same ballpark.
