It does not affect me if someone else has 750 million credits, if the game lets you exploit it, then go for it. It is not cheating, cheating is generally used for the breaking of rules to gain advantage in a competitive situation, since I do not compete with anyone in the game, there is no harm done to me. I solo, never do PVP or group, whoever has 750mil credits is just another toon I pass, IF i see them (43 ppl on a server during peak times, I only see another player every other week), I don't know how much creds anyone has, nor is it anyone's business. Just my 2 cents. :-)

Is it that hard to imagine 5 people per server? If that number is correct, then it's possible that the number is in the billions of credits. However, this is not the same as saying the "economy has been flooded." It is the classical money laundering problem: Making the money illegally is the easy part; using it legally is the challenge. If you had 750 million on your account, your ability to affect the global economy would still be very limited. This is why, when there was an earlier credit exploit, the economy did just fine afterwards, despite the gloom-and-doom predictions of hyperinflation.

It is cheating and I assure you that BioWare and most players would disagree with your statements that exploits do not represent cheating.

That person would be willing to pay 50 million on the global market for the 50 crafted speeder when it normally goes for 200k. People would adjust prices accordingly so they can profit off it, which means it would be out of reach of most.
