When I cancelled my accounts I have over 75 million credits from
farming resources. It was more like a job than anything. The player
economy was amuck with too many credits and too little to spend them
on. Dupeing was rampant and there were numerous duplication schemes
reportedly caught. Two of the members of my guild were suspended for
it.

However, I did like the crafting system. You could actually make
enough to live off of in the earlier days. I LOVED the idea of a
player world where everything beyond the initial stuff you were given
was player produced. What a concept!!!

flock to that.

Umm maybe because different people have different playing styles? Like my
friend who enjoys running around holding on to guns while i prefer unarmed
combat?
