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

Mindlessly grinding elites of a "dying fast but not instantly".

~2k credits cash loot per elite / elite-strong group => 1 minute MAX.
*60 => 120k cash a minute. Not much. BUT: add the often green, blue, purple, orange stuff elites drop + all the grey stuff, and you end up with well around 300-500k per hour (depending on drops and wether you auction them).
I once had loots of 3 purple "power" based mods and 2 rare orange set chest pieces - within 20 minutes. So... yeah... even selling that stuff cheap (10k per mod and 150k per chestpiece) to get instant sales... KATSCHING.

I think dailies are overrated - especially if you can make credits while just... waiting and watching tv and generally just training muscle memory.

OFC thats not the "I make millions per hour" - but:

• easily interruptible for stuff like a queue pop.
• easy to ignore - you can be on the phone, watch tv, eat pizza (if you got a mouse with LOTS of buttons)
• hardly any competition

Made me lol

With the rage over the mats just do HM FP solo and then you get decent credits, mats and the loot wont take long about 15 mins for the boarding party hardmode and around 15 for the foundry both will net you around 300k from the purple loot and the mats since everyone is in the mats rage with 2.9 commin

How did you gear and buy those things for your alts? Did you use credits which you earned?

I don't know how much you spent, but if you spent 10 million gearing your alts and buying things for them, then you earned 10 million credits.

Credits ARE easy to earn in this game. What may not be so easy is not spending those credits. I'm not saying that you should not spend credits, but if you choose to spend credits that you earn, then who's to blame if you do not have a balance over 2 million?

For some, yes. Not for everyone. Believe it or not, some players are casual players...this game caters to them. They don't even need PvP gear for WZ's, they're now blostered in Ops, running Oricon once gives a full set of mid level PvE gear. Making credits is easy for some, not all.

156's are not mid level PVE gear. 156 is good enough to get your foot in the door, and while it's not quite sc****** the bottom of the barrel, it's not far from it. 156 is starter gear, at best.

Also, I'm not going to bother refuting the OPs argument. Nobody has reasonably argued that 1 million credits in an hour is "easy." This whole argument is beyond stupid at this point, and this is nothing more than a troll thread.

Credits are easy when you have the infrastructure in place. People fail to remember that not everyone has 9+ DP NiM geared toons. They may have one character and preparing a second one. I like it how SWTOR takes the minority to be the rule and the majority who are free to play to be the exception. #failmuchfail

People like me made money because they ran DP/DF 6 times a week to get sets of gear for reverse engineering. We played the GTN and have crew skills maxed out whilst crafting on multiple characters. We have set up a supply network for guilds and we craft what they need for materials and we sell the 'crits' on the GTN for the maximum amount we can.


To give you an example, when crafting 180 was allowed, I made 20 million credits in 4 hours. This was pure profit because I already had the materials and did not invest a space buck in them. I sold as high as possible because I controlled the market for that good. At that point nobody on TOFN could make the initiative 34. It took me 13 to reverse including breaking up the whole gear I had on my sentinel. Just one customer purchased 10 of those and I made 14 million.


Please, stop perpetuating this myth about money. You cannot make money easily if you are someone who barely makes ends meat with their current characters. These topics on dailies are also just smoke. Who in their right mind will spend 4 hours doing dailies, when you can sell one relic for the price of 4 days worth of dailies?

If only there were a way for players to click a few UI objects every once in a while as they're casually playing, then post hundreds of thousands of credits worth of stuff to the GTN every couple days...

Even Grade 2 stuff is selling hot. The only reason anyone is broke is that they decided to be broke.

That's a good way to make money.

People like me make money with a handful of characters at level 50. The only reason they're 50 is I wanted to finish the class stories on them. If not for that, I'd have stopped right after they got their 5th companion.


You can make money very easily. Everyone does it. The game practically shoves credits down your throat as you play it. The trick is not spending it as fast as you get it.

Personally Im sick and tired of both extremes

NO 1 million /hour is not possibly and you would have to be a freaking idiot to believe the claims or try the claims

But on the same token, 50 million for 8 people isnt that outragous either.

I took 15 months off from this game, mistakenly spent 3 million on mass manipulators (bought a stack of 10 rather then the 1 I was going for), re outfitted 4 lvl 55 characters upon returning to game, and am just shy of having 10 million credits .

If I had stayed for those 15 months I have no doubt I would have 30-40 million credits saved up (would have not lost opts spot which is huge money and materials earned).

so 8 people having 50 million is not that big of an issue really if you dont buy stupid stuff and spend spend spend.

Truth is I know one person who has a guild himself (hes the only active member) who is paying the 50 million price tag for a guild ship day one. Hes saved up the price tag running PUG ops each week and weeklies and dailies.

So both sides of the extreme are damn annoying if you ask me.

Its neither that hard or that easy to earn fast credits.
Its just what it is.
Any guild of 4 or more member should be able to reasonably expect to save 50 million up, if they make an effort to save it up.
But its also certainly not something you can gather in a week/month as some trolls claim to have done.

Personally I like the 50 million price tag.
SW:TORs biggest issue is they make all their content meaningless because they give it all away with little to no effort.
Its OK to price some stuff so it requires effort, thought, determination to achieve.
Id like them to employ this mentality on achievements and put in some 100,000-1,000,000 kills per planet achievements so you create a separation between play styles and allow those dedicated enough to have/achieve something they know not every one will get.

Once you've saved a few mil you can play the GTN and make a lot of creds, and no, you don't even have to craft. Once your creds are working for you and you run dailies, Ops, FP's, etc.....$$$$$$
