    GTN - from Anywhere!!

    Hey Guys,

    Sitting here at work wishing I was playing SWTOR when I thought, "why cant I look on the GTN and do some shopping over the net rather than in game?"

    I mean the GTN must be stored on the server, so potentially I should be able to log into my SWTOR account and buy things, then just have them sent by mail to my character. All it would need to do when I log on is check my Server and current credit balance to ensure I had enough.

    Given we can buy credits off the net and have them sent to our accounts I wouldnt think this would be too hard?

    Anyone else think this would be good?

    I'm sure this is on the wish list.

    WOW has had mobile AH for awhile. It is a premium pay service though.

    Well, first, buying credits is a bannable practice. You accepted the EULA and TOE to play the game.

    Second, You need to access the GTN, currently, from in the game. You need to enter through the launcher. WoW has made it possible to access the AH from your mobile devices. Perhaps SWTOR will do so one day. In the mean time, Get GO2MYPC. you can log in remotely from a mobile device or another computer and go play. I have done it quite a bit, The latency is batshit crazy bad, but if you are just shopping and doing mail, and perhaps crafting it is okay.

    Agreed. I use splash top on my iPad for exactly that purpose. I read a review by somebody who had tested all the rdp type iPad apps they could find and had found this the best for gaming.

    Obviously though it is much better over wifi, but for pure gtn usage, it should be more than adequate.

    Don't buy credit's...it's lame and you can be banned. It's very easy to make plenty of credit's in game, period.

    Completely agree..I mean if you scoop up all your greys and whatnot(especially stackables) you can make decent credits...And doing dailies as well
