Thief on BRIA !! MiladFollow

haha

You know, this brings up an interesting point.

Why do we have a secure trade window?

One would assume it is to protect the gamer from being taken. A wonderful idea I think to myself....but then again, if I want my weapon sliced, or my armor repaired or a mount trained I have to hand the item/creature over to a complete stranger? This seem a little contradictory to anyone else?

I have never (nor will I ever) cheat another player. That said, if I really wanted to - then what is to stop me?

I could certainly grind out smuggler. Then when you bring me your weapon to slice I could have a low-sliced weapon in my inventory and keep yours to slice for my friends. By the time you realize the condition is 850/12000 I would be gone. If I even give it back at all.
When you give me your locked container, how will you know if the contents I return are not just junk that I want to get rid of? Locked containers usually hold junk anyway say you? Ok, but what if that changes? What if every once in a while they start dropping holos? I hear some of the smugglers mumbling. What's that? Roleplaying? No, my friends, roleplaying is cheating a player because he had a choice and chose wrongly, not cheating because the game system allows you to.

For example, if I sell you a generator turbine (that I renamed when I crafted it) and tell you it is a remote control bomb, and you don't bother to examine the item in the secure trade window - then you have been "fairly" cheated.

Why have secure trade at all if you have to trust a stranger with your armor, the most expensive (at this time) repairable item in the game?

There needs to be a secure slice and secure repair window. This is a glaring inconsistency in core gameplay and a huge flaw. I can't believe it hasn't been addressed.

Btw, not knockin' smugglers. Everyone I have dealt with in the game thus far has been on the "up and Up".

Just making a point.

[Red] I know Milad . We WERE good friends. One day, a few days ago my swoop bike got damage he said he would repair it. So Ilet him take it to his shoop. He said to come back there in 30 minuets when I came back the shop was gone and so was he. He sent a message to me saying that He has some friends and if I tried to get it back I would die like that. SO i have been chasing him with a buddy and I have tracked him down to AnchorHead.

lol first off holos dont matter anymore and second off YOUR A SMUGGLER! A THIEF , A SCUMBAG (no offense) so personally if you find something good of a slice i say you take it as payment lol! but yet again im one evil son of a gun

I"m a slicer, and I won't even look in your locked container. It doesn't bother me if I miss something...best I've seen was a gunman's duster in a container I looted.

I hope all that was cheat bye "milad"
Have send it a report, so that person can get ban from the game......


Let's us see if he/she like to get new isp, credit card, new game-key, to keep playing.

To be perfectaly honest you guys must have NEVER seen any of the movies, the Starwars Galaxy is not a happy filled place where people polity do stuff. Its (atleast suppose to be) filled with evil scum, theifs, and all sorts of criminal activty. Yea I have been punished for such acts but obviously if someone is stupid enough to buy a 100sided dye named "Jedi Holocron" for 3mill, I say get the quick money. Same goes for Smugglers thats why I choose not trust anyone unless I often play with them, or they are guilded.

An idea I had recently, is to exchange items during a repair. For instance a slicer agrees to open a container, he allows you to hold something of his. Or an artisan agrees to fix something for you, then he lets you hold something of equal value. Armor for armor, speeder for speeder, and so on. Of course this only really works if the person asking you to fix there item really wants it back.

Secondly, no matter how nice, or honest, or wealthy, a player character is, no one should be doing anything for free. At least the player who slices your container, or repairs your stinking dirty underwear should be a friend, or companion, or guild/association member. If he or she is not one of those things he should charge you, or expect to be able to call on you for a similar in value favor later. This may seem a bit tight, or petty, but that is how it works in the real world and that is how it should work in the the MMORPG. Sure I'll help you out when your down and out, but if I see you in my time of need don't be surprised if I ask you to return the favor.

Newbies are the only exception to the rule, always help a newbie, but always make them work for it. For instance if they need a coat, don't just give them the coat make them come to the bazar and sell it for 1 credit. Yeah you didn't make any money, but you have taught the newbie how to be more self sufficient, and how to find items for themself later.
