New Junk Loot Spawn Locations
by credits on Mar.13, 2010, under Swg Credits
Since the RE Junk Loot Insta-Respawn nerf, I was just wondering if anyone had some locations which were still viable for farming junk loot. I have used the Slum Thieves outside of Espa which have about a 10-20 sec spawn timer, but it is still just not the same. Are there any other good locations which could be done either AFK or ATK to produce large stacks of loot in a reasonable amount of time? Any information would be helpful and feel free to PM me if you are not comfortable posting. Best wishes and have a good one! Also I am a full member so if there is a topic on this already in one of the other sections, a link would be super handy!
Yes we all want to loot, but if you are monopolizing a legacy spawn (Mos Espa Thieves for example) you are violating the rules and hindering lower level toons.
Now if you are sitting on one spawn of 4 NPCs and not affecting the other spawns of which there are 5-6 total. Then you should not be bothered by a GM.
I have talked to a number in excess of 7-8 different GMs of various levels and they all pretty much say the same thing, that you can not own the entire spawn and there for hinder other players. I have the tickets and the chat logs saying this very same thing as I have been reported by others only to just get asked to move or told as I stated above. In order to get perma-banned you have to do somethign really stupid. I have been farming that area on my server for nearly 7 months and the worst I got was moved to a different location while AFK.
Also having the AFK tag over your toon is a billboard for getting flagged for a ticket. I report anyone I see monopolizing the spawns and have talked to a number of GMs when approached in game. If you are goin gto AFK in that location don’t use “blink” or similar macros they are obvious, spamming chat is just stupid as well that is advertising you are AFK. If someone comments to me about not responding I fire back with there is nothing in the rules that says I have to respond to a tell/GM and in that, they can’t say a word.
I use:
/mood obnoxious;
/pause 1200;
/macro afk;
Thus never go AFK.
Since the insta spawns are no good, now GMs are much more likely to respond to locations like Mos Espa and probably quick in response time.
You can farm you just have to be smart about it. If you don’t, you reap what you sew.
SWG and AFK Macro Farmers

I picked up SWG not too long ago and I’m quite disgusted with the ability to use macros to harvest materials through hand sampling, farm mobs for drops, or even to level up combat professions while the person is at work or sleeping.
Having a Trader myself, I have to compete in the market with other traders who hand sample on Mustafar while sleeping and working. This is an unfair advantage to those who can or choose to run their games all day and night. It also lowers the value of those resources.
If you’re leveling and doing legacy quests, you may run into a quest area and find 5+ afk players killing all the mobs you need for your quest. Happened to me recently with this new Chronicles update. There’s been several complaints from new players trying to quest. Besides the quest interference, I think it’s just wrong to be able to kill while afk.
Anyone else think that a game that allows you to level, kill, and farm resources while away from your computer is a terrible game? That is a horrible way to run a game.
