Re: Question regarding swtor rules of conduct/modding
Not sure if this answers your question:

11. Rules of Conduct
You may violate the Terms of Service if, as determined by EA in its sole discretion, you:
- Modify or attempt to modify any file or any other part of the EA Service that EA does not specifically authorize you to modify.
And here:
http://www.swtor.com/legalnotices/euala
Unless expressly permitted by EA in writing or as required by applicable law, you are expressly prohibited from reproducing, sub-licensing, broadcasting, modifying, adapting, renting, lending, leasing, distributing or otherwise making publicly available the Software or rights to use the Software (including in particular the rental of the Software through Internet game rooms or cyber-cafes), except by transfer as expressly set forth in Section 2.C below.
And Here:
http://www.swtor.com/legalnotices/rulesofconduct
To keep the Service a compliant, fun, fair and safe gaming environment for everyone, you may not engage in any of the following behavior:
Modify any part of the Service that the Service does not specifically authorize you to modify.
and this:
Mod, Hack and Cheat Prohibitions
Using mods, hacks and cheats can give players an unfair advantage over others. To help ensure a level and fair playing environment for the community and for everyone, you may not engage in any of the following behavior:
-
You may not use any of your own software or third-party software to modify the Service content to change game play.
-
You may not use the intellectual property rights contained in the Game Content owned by EA or its licensors or the Software, or any information accessible through the System, to create or provide any other means through which the System may be accessed and/or the Game may be played by others, as, for example, through server emulators.
-
You may not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our System.
-
You may not use macros, add-ons or other stored rapid keystrokes, "dupes," "cheats" or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate.
-
You may not use your or third-party software to rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in such a way as to use the Service to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or performed in the Service.
-
You may not engage in any conduct or practice that results in an Account containing items, objects, currency, character attributes, rank, or status that are inappropriate for the level or rank of the character contained in the Account, i.e., "item loading,".
-
Conduct prohibited shall include, without limitation, arranging, making or accepting in-Game transfers of items to a character without adequate in-Game consideration, thereby augmenting or aggregating items in the transferee character's Account and having the effect of increasing its value for purposes of an out-of-game Account sale.
Based on the above, I just wouldn't risk it.
