SWTOR Cracks Down on Exploiters

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a game that has been marred by various controversies since its release, and in-game exploits is one of the biggest ones. A recent exploit that has drawn the attention and ire of many players has finally been addressed by the staff at BioWare. This abuse (know as the Ravager's Exploit) involved farming end game content with little to no effort, adversely affecting the economy of the game. BioWare community manager Eric Musco wrote on the forums, explaining how the staff handles exploits in general and how they would handle this particular one. For the players that abused this bug, there will be a wide range of penalties that they will incur. Depending on the amount of times that the Ravager's Exploit was used, punishments can range from a warning to full and permanent account suspension. This is much welcome news as many players were complaining about the current state of the game with the markets being greatly warped by the exploit.
