Star War: The Old Republic Takes Severe Measures Against Hackers, Win Traders and Exploits' Abusers

SWTOR developers take exceptional measures to weed out hackers and cheaters. Also for anyone intending to abuse/share/expose any existing exploits in the game, the reps of SWTOR developers ready to put his foot down against these wrongdoings and threaten to take down their accounts. 

Earlier today in the official forum, SWTOR developers issued a letter to elaborate on the problematic ethos and misdemeanour in the game caused by cheaters and hackers, as well as their solutions and attitudes towards them. Hackers, as always, is the first subject to bring up and while there are no such means to implement right now, developers already committed to deploying "systemic changes" in next week. 

As for win-trading dealers and buyers, SWTOR regulations and penalties seems much less vague and implicit than what they promised to crack down upon the hackers. In the announcement, SWTOR looked back on all the course of action and punishments they had issued to win-trading-involved accounts prior to season 10 and more aggressive and stricter measures adopted in Season 10, such as "no tolerance policy", cancelling "the advance warning", severe punishments and bans. 

The BioWare staff tried to demonstrate a pattern they have been following since the depth and breadth of striking at the win trading illicit activities had been extended. Despite all kinds of illicit activities in the game seemed much less rampant than they had been before, game developers have to evolve any kind of means they adopted previously to cater to the majority of legitimate players, and mostly, protect the BioWare's revenue and profits generated from microtransactions which have been stolen by these "win trading" rascals. 

On the final part of this announcement, SWTOR developers decided to take a step forward and add more effective means to detect and eliminate win traders and hackers, as all expected. Although it's pretty a done deal under the current circumstance, there is no way the game can get rid of these detrimental parasites once for all.

Later today in another announcement, SWTOR developers also addressed the exploits' abuses concerned with a sum of players and cheaters. They explicitly claimed that if anyone dealt with exploits that had been discovered in the wrong ways, like broadcasting, spreading, abusing, or even testing them, other than reporting to the BioWare staff or game developers privately and secretly, their accounts would be in jeopardy and might face up with punishments. 

SWTOR has shown its resolution and attitudes towards the cheater, hackers, win traders and exploits' abusers. However, there are always needs and requirements for SWTOR Credits, Items, accounts from a large number of players who think "the legitimate trade" way too exorbitant to go for. And the developer hasn't been and won't stand a chance to root out the aginst-the-rules chain of manufacture serving to players with numerous demands, yet a smaller pocket attached.
