Hey r4v, thanks for the feedback, and I definitely understand your frustration. Figuring out how to solve it frustrates me, too. I've posted about this recently:
"To level a guy to 50, you'll need to create leveling paths in various areas of SWTOR. We don't provide this for a few reasons, the most important being security; if everyone is running the identical path, EA can and would get wind of it (very) quickly, and it would put all our users at tremendously increased risk. However, once our forum gets up and running, there will be many users discussing this very thing, and sharing tips, paths, locations, and so forth. If you're still have problems related to SMS itself, please post in this thread, or PM me directly."

Before addressing this, let me ask that you please read the manual in full, especially the end of the "Highlights" section (*starred), which goes into leveling a bit, and
(on Config files and user-created profiles/paths).
Our forum at
will be up very soon!
That is the place to exchange ideas and tips on leveling, paths, grinding areas, and so forth. Honestly, we've already got so many incredibly knowledgeable/helpful people interested in joining the forum once it opens up. Let me explain further, and see if this clarifies our current feelings on leveling paths/areas:
On one extreme, we could provide 100% of leveling paths, which would take a tremendous amount of work, which could otherwise be used to develop even better technological infrastructure for users to adapt to changes in SWTOR themselves (i.e., teaching a man to fish vs. giving him a fish, and how everyone comes together to make Wikipedia so content-rich and up-to-date). If we provided actual paths, probably all of our users would be banned very quickly, as EA would catch wind of it really, really quickly. Remember, it's not unlikely that some busybody at EA is following this thread even as I write this.
On the other extreme, if we provide no paths, no information on leveling areas, grinding, and so forth, then it creates problems when we advertise a fully automatic PvE bot, because the definition of "fully" is subjective. Is it literally one click and you're at level 50? Is this even possible, or even
desirable? Are there customizations involved, user preference? How much, and how often should they be tweaked, ideally? These are questions that immediately arise. Once the dust settles, we will probably settle somewhere in the middle... provide official "tips" or generic areas that could just as well be non-SMS users who have discovered good places to level on their own. This is not a guarantee we will necessarily, but rather some current thoughts on the issue, so we're always on the same page with our members.
What I'm going to do right now is update the "Highlights" section of the manual to include some of the points I've just made in this post.
Here's my recommendation moving forward:
- Wait until the forum opens up, then begin exchanging information with others on our special sections devoted to these very issues. The forum will almost
certainly be your best bet for thorough discussions on this stuff.
- Search around or ask others on Epvp about good places to level. Honestly, there should be "grinding areas" all over Google. (If not, like I said, our forum is going to be a hotbed for these kinds of discussions, so don't worry).
- Read the manual in full. You may find nuggets of wisdom in there that help.
If none of these are satisfactory, I'll gladly provide you a refund since it's my fault for not making it abundantly clear. Please PM me within 2-3 days to let me know if you would like one, or else it may seem unfair to others.
Anything else, please PM me or post here!
