And on my server their levels range from 14 to 25(not the pro farmer that one).

I am one of the richest players -- to the best of my knowledge, of course -- on my server that hasn't used an exploit. I don't use exploits because, frankly, I have a job and therefore always seem to find out about the exploits AFTER that have been removed. Kidding. I wouldn't exploit anyway. I don't need to, since I already have more money than I know what to do with. I've gained my riches by picking up two gathering professions and Slicing. I use Slicing to fund the gathering professions which I in turn use to post good on the GTN. I am very well-known for Underworld Trading materials. I fill purchase orders and am frequently behind on demand because most people have yet to figure out how to generate large quantities of Promethium and Mandalorian Iron (suffice to say that I have a trade alliance). After all of this work and connection-forging I make about 500k credits a day in profit. I make a little more on weekends when demand is higher and a little less on weekdays when demand is lower. I think that most people would agree that 500k a day for very little work is a pretty good turnout, especially when you have nothing to buy. Bear in mind that I'm not going out and doing dailies or space missions or anything. I'm mostly just running missions and selling the goods. On days when I actually DO something I can break 750k; more if I get lucky with Slicing and gathering nodes. So a level 7 alt that is doing nothing but exploiting a chest to make 1mil creds a day with ZERO INPUT from the player is broken and economy-slaying.

That's great, I probably could share a similar story. With lower profits of course and without trade alliances, but principles are similar. But not exactly what I had in mind. You are making credits for yourself, yes. But you are generating ZERO credits into the economy. All you credits come from people doing dailies, selling junk, exploitinf chests, etc. I would be really interested in how much people generate via dailies. In other words RAW credits coming into economy every day. Let's assume 20mil per day can be made from exploiting. That's pretty rough estimation I think, but that will do for now. What I'm really interested in, how this relates to amont of credits other players make by other means? Is it 10%, 5%, less than 1%? Because if it's 10%, yea, it's economy breaking, you go away from game for a week, and prices double when you return. If it's less then 1% - you will never ever notice it. From what I see, I think it's closer to later, because right now prices on GTN seem pretty stagnant to me. Ideas?

Duct tape is like The Force; it has a light said and a dark side and it holds the universe together. While I always try to provide correct and meaningful information I have been known to make mistakes, from time to time.

Wow, that is really really bad, if it is happening the way they say it is, it needs to be stopped as soon as possible. Bioware please fix this.

Maybe you should stop visiting the lvl 7s who are farming chests. Out of sight, out of mind. If it makes you sad or mad, stop doing it. Try doing something constructive and work on one of your characters. Have fun out there young man!

They want subs right now. When the account numbers come out after the free month they want to be as high as possible. Do you really think they're going to ban anyone? I'm sure if they knew who was running the bots they'd send them a few hundred free accounts just to pad their sub rate
