Is the 600k escrow the maximum cartel item you can get for free to play?

Because i do not know how these people are paying for huge amounts of subscriptions, with the market the way it is.

Am i missing something F2P can get from the GTN?

Any help would be welcomed

Sub is only like $25 for 60 days which is like $12.5 for 1 month. You can get that in a days to a week (24/7 grinding). So I don't see any problem there...

I'm shocked there are still people botting the game for money too. I only really found it profitable to leave my accounts unsubbed for 3 - 4 months at a time before liquidating but there's people out there that pay monthly for em. Your monthly sub is almost 1/4 what you make at that point which is just ridiculous.

How low is to low for people in swtor? Even my absolutely worst bots which I just use for PLing more bots farming content from 5 expansions ago in Everquest make 7$ a day. Even if people in swtor made a whopping 3 bucks a day they're looking at 5-10 or so in electricity 13-16 for a monthly sub which means the monthly net profit is only 60-70$ per bot tops.

Eventually you must realize you're never going to go anywhere making 60-70 per bot a month esp with how much upkeep each bot takes with restarting it every 12-20hrs. If nothing else my hats off to everyone who still bots for profit, their patience hoping the games situation will get better is definitely unparalleled.

what i wonder is what is causing this huge drop in the price of credits?

seems to me that it has to be a new exploit or a huge drop in the number of players. now since it does not seem possible for the game to lose 60% of its players in a few weeks then it must be an exploit of some kind.

It was most likely both. The movie was a total wash, critically well received but we all know it sucked. I don't think the exploit would effect normal players but as far as botters go most weren't stupid enough to stop botting when prices of credits dropped so every time the price of credits gets back to something a botter would deem acceptable they unload EVERYTHING they got which lowers the price again. Rinse and repeat and we'll be where we are now for the rest of the year.

I finally let my accounts go inactive with about 30 - 50mil on each of them. I have no clue when I will start botting or when I will reactivate them again, the price is just so unacceptable atm. You'll make about .70$ per mil so tops 2.50 a day or so

You can easily stack those. At least I was able to do this when I was still playing. I actually had enough of them to buy some top crafted gear usually going for more than a million.
