I havent seen a single cred farmer yet. It maybe too early but the Lord Adrass server has seen none that I know of.
I play on a higher populated server, and have been playing since a day after launch. I can honestly say I haven't seen a single gold-spam yet. I don't know whether everyone else shares this experience, but Bioware seems to be doing well, or there just isn't a market for it yet.
I've had all of one gold seller tell, that's it. I think it's just still to early to tell.
I haven't seen any yet.
Relating to this (kinda), there's this bit of news - http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/01/02/bioware-responds-to-ilum-exploits/
In the article it states that the game's rules of conduct includes "... 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'." This could be seen as a step against gold farmers... possibly.
I've had one credit farmer whisper, and today received my first credit farmer mail.
Haven't had any encounters with credit farmers yet, and neither have my friends playing the game. They might appear later, but I think it also helps a lot that there's no free trial for them to continuously making accounts on.
I play on a server that as of today is still having queues (The Fatman) been there a week, not a single sighting, tell or Gen. chat ad so far. But yep one more time, it may be too early to cheer.

Nothing yet. Playing on a full EU server (Lord Calypho). Biggest annoyance so far are the usual foul-mouthed kiddies flaming other people in general with badly spelled referrals to various reproductive organs and/or orifices.
My brand new bloggity blog.
Same here.
I play on the West Coast RP-PVP server, and I have seen gold spammers in general chat,at least once, on Sith and Republic sides. On republic, I even had one /whisper me the spam message. /report and /ignore
I am on Adraas too and yes, there is.
I've got about 4 mail msgs in the last week and about 2-3 whispers in that time. Mind you i havent had much time to play in the last 4-5 days.
