I'm getting really sick and tired of the "Credits are so easy to get exaggerations".

Now come on, there is no way people make 3 million credits in 3 hrs if they're not doing something illegal.

LOL ^^

OP Believe me, I've seen posts about making credits (the whole discussion on Guildship prices brought out a number of them). Darth is correct on GTN (if you are smart, you can make significant credits, Darth and I don't always agree on much, but this is one ), Icybergy did a nice write up on dailies if you are interested (his also takes GTN into account with crew missions) (too tired to find the link...). Icy did such a nice right up, I refused to believe it.. so went and ran through exactly as he laid out, and was pleasantly surprised (I took a little longer, but the numbers were spot on).

No one, at least no one I have seen, has claimed 1 Million in an hour. I've heard rumors that farming chests on a certain planet can be pretty lucrative... but I'd rather have my head set on fire and put out with a sledge hammer than run around farming chests.

However, that being said... "easy" is a subjective term... what I consider easy, may be torture for you... Lets just say there are ways to make significant credits in a relatively short period of time.

Hyperbole sure does make for some interesting conversation topics.

What are you talking about? I log in, 15 seconds worth of clicking later and I now have an extra 640k, what more is there than that?

But in reality it's still not that time consuming.
  1. Log in and head to mail terminal
  2. Read through what was sold and recraft them (I really hate patch days)
  3. Collect credits and unsold items
  4. Go to GTN and buy more materials if they're cheap
  5. Relist crafted and expired items
  6. Send companions on missions

Now granted, for the short time I was between jobs with lots of time to play, yes, I could go to the Black Hole, Makeb, Belsalvis, Illum etc and make tons of credits. That's because I pretty much had all day to play. Now that I'm back working full time while trying to have a semblance of a family life, I really only have about 2 hours max per day to play. If I really wanted to go hardcore I could squeeze a little more time in but I only make those sacrifices when I'm leveling my first main character, after that it's a return to normalcy.

Here's my challenge. For any of you making the extraordinary claims on how you make millions of credits so easily and effortlessly Im waiting for someone to post a stream or youtube video of them doing all these dallies they claim that they're doing in these record setting times. I have yet to find one, not saying they don't exist, but I've never seen them
So because you're horrible at the game and don't know how to manage your time and money, everyone is full of ****?

Sheshhh, why don't you people complaining about making credits go play a single player RPG. That way you can just use cheat codes to make as much money as you want -- since you seem to not to want to actually PLAY the game and want everything handed to you.

Credits are stupid easy to get. Just a few examples:

Running the non-heroic dailies on Oricon will make you 100k in 25 minutes SOLO. Even the mobs on Oricon drop between 300-1000 credits when killed. I run the non heroic missions in Section X and Oricon and easily make 150-200k a day in about 1 hour.

As a subscriber, you can use your monthly cartel coins to buy packs and sell the stuff. There is a rare mount from the Vertica pack that I got last month that sells for minimum 3 million.

Some mid-tier crafting materials (20-30 range) sell for 1k EACH on the GTN. Xonolite sells for at least 1k each and its only grade 3.

Level 20-30 credit boxes drop 1k and they are ALL over Nar Shadar. My level 22 character already has 100k from slicing.

I made 50k in 5 minutes with the seeker droid on Hoth yersteday by fishing up level 9 rare metals (that part is probably not reproducible, I think i got lucky).

Anyone having trouble making money in this game isn't trying.

Well that's just it. People don't want to try. People don't want to put in the effort. We are an instant gratification society where everything must be given to us NOW.

You can make the credits if you want to and no it will take a bit longer than an hour but it can be done.

I play about two or four days a week and one day I devote that time in doing dailies such as:

Makeb-Weekly
CZ- All but the flashpoints (unless guild members and friends are on)
Black Hole-I can solo the heroic
Section X- All but the heroic. Not spending time waiting for a group.
Voss- I working on the reputation- 4 heroics can be soloed at level 55

Then any event (Rakghoul event) that may be going on.
Then maybe Oricon.

Then I sell the items I loot or purchase with my comms.

In the last two weeks I have gone from 1m to 5.3m.

It can be done but it takes work and it depends on how bad you want the credits. I want to unlock the Nar Shadda house when it gets released.

I do t his one day out of the days I play and then when I log in the other days I will take maybe 45 minutes and run the short dailies

Section x
Black Hole
CZ

Then depending if I feel like it I will switch to one of my alts and work on the gear for them or level the 3 I am still working on it.

So yes it can be done just depends on if you want to do or not.

Have a good day.
