someone could buy every single thing on the GTN and price gouge people into paying ridiculous prices. Essentially ruining the economy forever.

People actually already do this on a much smaller scale. I refuse to pay more for something just because it's my only option at the moment. I usually have an idea in my head of how high something should sell for and I don't go much over that.

Thats true, I made millions upon millions on those augmented lvl 20 sabers the first few days they were available. Supply and demand can be a wonderful thing if you know how to capitalize on it.

To my mind I'm actually more concerned about the mention of speed hacks and teleporting than I am about the economical exploit, and I say that despite relying on the GTN more than most.

If speed hacks, teleporting and similar flagrant violations of the game ruleset are even possible there are serious design flaws in the game's server/client code.

Charge, force push something, charge, intercede
Can you jump out of the pit without a foe? Can you jump from level 2 to level 3? Can you jump halfway across the arena?

That's my point.
50 Marauder, Sentinel, Vanguard, Mercenary, Juggernaut

It's a long way back to Grandville, but these wonderful devs keep updating my GPS...

I honestly thought the one in there was an apology from BioWare for all the damned credit sinks in the game, and the additional credit sinks they added with 1.2. Seriously, they're already ridonkulous with the amount of grinding we have to do on Dailies already. Or you can stay on the Fleet, craft stuff, and put it on an unreliable market where you have to pay an unnecessary deposit.

To BioWare: Head on over to EVE Online and take a look at how their galactic market is set up. Look at how long someone can put something up there for sale. Then ask yourselves "Why did we make people put down a deposit and put a time limit of only two days on selling items?". Then fix your blasted market so economic "exploits" are no longer necessary to make credits.

And that's my 2 credits.

Only in theory. In practice, the time required to do this coupled with the limitation on concurrent listings makes this all but impossible (I think you can only have 50 listings on the GTN – someone please correct me if I am wrong). It is much more difficult for a single person (or even a group of players) to have a large scale impact on the economy than one would imagine, even if they had the means to do so.
