Action being taken against exploits and cheats
We place a high priority on ensuring a safe and fair game environment within Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. As part of this, we continually monitor the live game service for exploits and cheats within the game. Anyone found to be in violation of our Terms of Service risks action being taken on their game account, up to and including the possibility of being permanently banned from play.
With Game Update 1.2, new measures were put in place to improve our detection of exploits, particularly in relation to 'speed hacking' and teleport cheats. With the help of this improved detection, we recently took action against hundreds of game accounts. In many cases these accounts were permanently removed from the game after being investigated by our Terms of Service team, who double-check every detected account to ensure fair rulings.
Moving forward, we will continue to improve and upgrade our detection methods, but we still need your help. If you witness what you believe to be an exploit while playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, please notify Customer Service by clicking the '?' icon in the game client (by default, situated at the top of your screen). Every reported incident is reviewed by our Terms of Service team and action will be taken when warranted.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and fair environment in Star Wars: The Old Republic!
A day long remembered.

I should note I was not bashing SWToR at all, I like it
Just meant not many seem to PvP at least on the server I am on, so you see a lot of the same names over and over again. They need x-server queus as their next step.
I actually created a new Avatar on the Fatman server PVP is fast and furious and less than 5 minutes between matches.
I'd rather wait to logon and be on a full server than be on low pop.
Having said that it was the grouped teams that ported and used speed hacks in hut ball how sad, whats the point in playing if you cheat to win even though they were geared up?
Next issue is the guys you cant damage or kill you in 1 hit not many of those but there are few some you cant snare or stop in any way.

Good News. Cheating should always be discouraged in any game.
Now if only they can add choice to warzones for those of us who hate Huttball.

This is good news, I've seen players repeatedly doing it for weeks, but since 1.2 I haven't seen anyone complaining nor have I witnessed any myself, then again my pvp time has been cut down dramatically due to the stupidly low TTK (and yes I'm geared) which takes the fun away from an MMO pvp environment.
Hehe, it wouldn't surprise me if they fiddled the numbers to make them look good though.

Roll Republic, I hardly ever got Huttball on my Trooper.

If you assume the majority is cheating, you are wrong.
The cheaters have always been a minority who ruin games for that majority.

Since 1.2, I hardly ever get it either,but I'd still like to pick and choose my warzones. I don't know why this isn't available.
