Apparently, there is some sort of exploit wherein people are getting thousands of XP exploiting underpopulated PvP warzones. Rumors of level 50s already!!

IP bans, BW. IP bans.

We were talking about this on the show last night. I'm glad they're doing something.

Edit: Looks like it's still under investigation. As I said on the show, I don't see how they're going to do anything for sure because you can't tell who's exploiting and who just wants to PVP. And from what Bioware is saying on that thread, there aren't any 50s- not even close - yet.

No. That is too harsh. You reset all their toons to 1 with starter gear and apply a 97% debuff to XP. Any toon playing from that IP has that debuff for several months.

So you don't think I should be the punishment manager for BW?

I definitely did NOT say that. You clearly SHOULD.
