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

I stand by my comments as a point of view and the experience of several players that I know. I have shared this experience with them,... it is not "made up."

I do not speak for everyone. I speak for myself. I am contributing to the conversation by sharing about how I, and others, have experienced this game. You don't have to like it. But, it's how things are for some of us.
I have contributed. I've given posts on how you can earn upwards of 600k with a single player in a matter of hours. Get yourself and a few others involved a couple nights a week and bam, you've got a guild ship after just a few weeks if you start from 0.

"Casual", "Not-casual"... I don't care. Those are just buzzwords.

Edit: And if you can't find that post, it basically says, get a group of 4 for Section X, Oricon, Ilum, The Black Hole, and Czerka. About 2 hours: ~500-600k. Send out companions to get crafting mats along the way = moar profits!

Okay, that made me chuckle ... or maybe it was a chortle. Let's just go with "chorkle."

Hmm... are there casual defenders or defenders of the casuals. I'll have to ponder that.

Casuals are any group who doesn't spend much time in game but feel they deserve to get credit for having spent much time in game.

Dailies are a slow albeit steady way to make creds. But to make serious creds, you have to learn how to play the GTN. It's not hard, but it does take time.

I probably fall between "casual" and "hardcore"...

And I'm also someone who has claimed to have made 10 million credits in a week.



Because it's true: I've done that. I don't always do that, but I can and have and could easily again. Run some dailies/weeklies, farm some mats to sell (I can gather 6-8 stacks that will sell for ~80-100k each in an hour and a half), and remember to have my companions farming a separate group of materials in missions (to diversify my wares). Then I can play the GTN some (nothing like learning to buy and re-sell underpriced items), and yeah... 10 million in a week with maybe three hours (give or take, given the day).

Obviously I don't do this every day, but any time I feel I need some money fast? It's not hard to do. Put on some music, figure out a path to optimize my farming output, boom: rolling in credits.

I think there are hardcore casuals. Players so committed to their casual play style that they are hardcore about it. Their devotion to casual gaming is intense and all-consuming. They are far more casual than regular casual players, who tend to take a more casual approach to their casual style of game play. I.e., a casual casual player may lapse from his preferred casual style and actually play hardcore now and then. While a hardcore casual player would never do so. They remain casual at all times.

Hope that clears this up for you.

Are you sure about that "absolutely not" part?

Casuals like doing "fun" content, yes. But we also enjoy leveling alts. Many of us have several alts, but only one or two characters at 55. Not so easy to make those credits with characters in the 20s, 30s, or 40s.

So it's easy for a non-casual to make a ton of credits running dailies with their six 55s. I certainly hope that IS easy! Just most of the players of this game are not at that point.
You made a post where you try to tell us that none of us understand what a "casual" is, and then go on to tell us that a "casual" is basically you, and your friends. And those "casuals" (you and your friends) only enjoy doing "fun" content, where "fun" is doing nothing but play on low level alts who supposedly can't make credits.

Because of course it's impossible to both play "casually" and still enjoy doing things that make credits. That would be absurd and totally ruin your argument.

Lol! Nearly spilled my coffee on the casual casual portion. I'm going to have to save this.

Let's not forget the blazingly good time a bunch of low level characters would have playing Guild Conquest content once they get the ship...

That's what went through my mind. First he purported to make claims about "casuals" in general, then he tried to back pedal and claim he was only talking about him and his friends.
