The Old Republic Bans?

A thread on reddit offers an email purportedly from BioWare support informing the recipient of unspecified sanctions in Star Wars: The Old Republic, saying this was for accessing areas and loot meant for higher level characters in the just-launched MMORPG. There's a follow-up post on The Old Republic forums pointing out some discrepancies like typos and other issues that suggest this is not a legitimate email. There's also a post on Rock, Paper, Shotgun suggesting this may be a legitimate ban, and the player who was banned omitted details about how this was more of an exploit than described. Thanks Joao.

Again.

1. There are interestingly enough no dates assigned to any of these warnings. In one instance, the date is actually scribbled out. There is also not enough information to actually track down the validity of any of these accusations.

2. The warnings are particularly vague. In the first instance, if a level 10 PC was running around equipped with level 50 equipment, that's an exploit and deserving of the banhammer. In the second case, if someone is buying and selling 100 times a minute on the auction house, odds are they are using bots, exploits, or other "solutions".

If you go over to "whywasibanned.com" you see plenty of people who have excellent stories/excuses, and are caught red-handed modding or exploiting. I am far more willing to suspect users of illegitimate use than EA banning people over normal usage.
