any NPC has a chance to decloak you. it's called being caught and it can happen.
i also found that this method, while it has merit, seldom works as you need to be very close to the NPC to steal. i tried this and watch as my spy followed a jedi and found that 99% of the time i was not close enough to steal from the NPC. your character follows and stays a good 5 to 8 metres from your following target, this puts you eve further away from the target you're trying to steal from
Come on guys, use the heed! Find a static group of AFK'ers like at the nightsisters camps etc.
Yes you will get decloaked from time to time but a simple solution is to put 'without a trace' in tool bar slot 2 and change your steal macro to:
AUTO RE-CLOAK!
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 0.5;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/m Steal
Now when you are decloaked, you will automatically re-cloak. It's not the AOE that decloaks you it's being caught by the NPC you are stealing from. Get your cammo up high and this will happen much less often. Since the AFK group is taking all the agro, you dont take any hits when you get decloaked.
I've done this all through the night and never had a problem. Lots of nice stated clothing for RE'ing.
The only disadvantage to this new method is the other people will see your 'puff of smoke' as you enter without a trace each time the macro fires it, but who cares? You are not having an impact on their loot .
Of course the other disadvantage with this macro in general is when the group log off or move away to use their ITV, you're left standing doing nothing. Just periodically check your PC and look for some new people to tag on to.
