Why are people like this??

Do you want Bioware to put a can of ninja repellent in the mail for you too?

Maybe Bioware should just mail you the quest objectives as soon as you accept the quest, that way you can skitter over to the mailbox, pick up the misson items and be done with it??

Should they boost spawn rates, yeah. But since you can grab the spawn while in combat, it's a non-issue from a ninja grief perspective.

You can also cc the elite, put your companion on the easy guy(s). This makes it easier to grab quest items in combat.

nothing personal mate... but life is too short to be a nice guy... so chill out and think more about yourself FTFY

Node /objective jacking has been with us from the earliest days of MMO’s and it’s totally lazy game design. There are so many ways around this today that this just doesn’t need to be in the game.

It’s flawed in many ways and counterproductive to building a cohesive multiplayer environment.

This is just a catalyst for animosity between players in a game where you want to be building multiplayer community and friendships.

So instead of inviting a stranger to group players are adding them to their ignore list.

I haven't had many issues with this in SWTOR, but I must have PTSD from WoW because I still mistake my companion for a ninja looter half the time!!!!!

As much as I hate players like that too, it could be fixed very easily by Bioware, by making the things respawn faster or by making the items pop up fir people individually (like GW2 does with miningnodes).

But blaming it on the other players is alot easier!

Black Hole with anything above 30 in pop is a Ninja Zone. Yes, I have had my stuff stolen as I was fighting, so what do I do? Put the offender on Ignore, use my stealth abilities to return the favor when I see them engaged with a mob, not lend a hand when they fight, do not offer a respawn when they get beat or die next to the poison lake, and I will Force Cloak and let the mob aggro them the next time I see them.

However, just from a logistical point of view with increased populations in the BH the respawn times really need to be cut down.

While ninja looters are annoying, whining about other people on forums and calling other posters names is probably worse. It's simply bad game design. There's no reason Bioware shouldn't implement GW2's system of shareable exp/loot without having to group.

Personally i think everyone has a point in this forum;

The respawn rates for objective should be faster but at the same time this is an MMO which we all know mean Massive-Multiplayer-Online. The key word is multiplayer that means there are other people playing the game at the same time you are and some of them are selfish jerks who couldn't care less about other people. Even if the game was better designed there would be people who would be there taking objective they havent earned and no matter what you do you can't stop them.

You need to stop whining about the issue and find ways to deal with it, its not likely Bioware will waste time fixing this when there is more issues of higher priority and new content coming.

Also if some pisses you off do what i do, switch over to your alt on the other faction and camp them until they give up and go away.

Works even better if you sell it as a massive ganking party on your fleet

Looters are annoying, but calling looters names is not worse. They are scum. Unless they are total sociopaths (we probably have a few of those), the only way they live with themselves is by denial and rationalization.

But because people are people, if the Black Hole is crowded, I make a point of getting the loop before killing the NPCs guarding it. Ditto for freeing the little caged engineers.

This morning I did notice that a fellow had not grabbed a weapons chest after killing the Torvix dudes; I made a point to ask him if he was going to take it (he could not) before I got it.

[EDIT]
"getting the loop" -> "getting the loot". Jeez, don't know why I can't see typos BEFORE I submit a post.
