I brought a guildy on a level 9 toon to ilum just to disprove this. he stayed 10 min, in the starter area and exploited nothing. Nothing has been done to the level 50 exploiters that used empty battlegrounds to get levels quick in the first 2 days. what should be done to those people?

It's the selling the credits for RL dollars that causes problems. And that's all those bot lowbies are there for. If you can't understand how selling credits harms the game economy, then you're either dense or obtuse.

Those players don't continue to damage the game by flooding the economy with credits or offering pay to win situations in which players can buy credits for real money.
"Skill" is the only PvP stat anyone should ever need.

what exactly are they exploiting?

Is opening a chest exploiting? I've opened lots of chests. Have you opened chests?

Is traveling to a planet exploiting? I've traveled to lots of planents. Have you traveled to planets?

the act of selling credits harms nothing. Its when these guys get huge lump sums to throw like water thats the problem. Farming chests is just the current easy way. The gold farmers will find another way to rake in the credits 10 min after the devs nerf the chests. You are trying to nerf the symptom, not the disease.

Standing there while exploiting a invisibility game hack or hiding underneath the ground with a terrain hack to avoid anyone/anything seeing them to be able to attack/report them is obviously exploiting.

Google it, it exists. The latest version of the cheat boasts these new features:

-anti-stun (not yet implemented)
-anti-slow (works fine with speed multi)
-noclip
-teleport
-zero gravity
-superfly (finished but not yet implemented)

Obviously between teleport and no clip they can hide behind a rock, wall, or underneath the ground next to a chest.

The same site I googled has farm bots boasting gains of 100k a hour on Corellia so its not all in the highly visible area of end game planets. 100k a hour while I'm asleep or at work? Profitable but I enjoy not worrying about my account being banned more.

The "disease" is that there are items in game that players want to buy and they don't want to farm for hours/years to buy them.

The "disease" will never be cured. On the other hand, BW can at least limit goldseller access to boxes of free money that can be easily harvested by a botting player.

What the HELL are you talking about?

My response was to someone complaining about how the level 50s who exploited to 50 aren't being punished.

The people who leveled to 50 aren't being punished because they're not the ones bot-looting chests 24/7, pulling in unnatural amounts of credits that BW has said they don't want happening.

There are MANY hacks out right now and the way SWToR is designed they aren't monitoring memory. So basically it is free hack time right now. They need to get this fixed asap.
