The discount is for "Re-Customization" I.E. changing your Hair Style, not buying new Races.

As a better comparison - if I am not competing for mobs/nodes, Section X + Black Hole take about 90 minutes and returns 100-150k credits depending on drops and Slicing spawns. That does not include the Heroic 4 in either zone.

Presence is never a tradeoff except through stims.

Honestly, I would avoid the market items, unlocks are a way better use of money.

Easiest way to make money is to mail them to Kannus then.

Out of curiosity, do you have a source for that? I only ask because other Races are Legacy bound rather than Account bound.

Agree above, I just wanted to touch on Healer's DPSing as a Tank/Healer. Unless it is an Ops/HM55 Group, I will not complain about my Healer DPSing until there is an issue. Especially on Daily 50 runs, or alts or what not, Healers can toss out some DPS without compromising healing (mostly Commando/Merc / Smugg/Op), as long as they are smart and know how to play, I trust them to do it. Sure I may finish a boss fight at 15% health, but we finished the fight. If I stay off the ground, they did their job as far as I am concerned.

Changed their plans? Debatable, but sure. False advertising though? No. They are not advertising that Cathar are free. This is what others are trying to get into others skulls

There has been no false advertising. They don't need to read the entire thread to see that.

My mistake! Question retracted!

You accused someone of not knowing the definitely of false advertisement and from the exchange it looks like you believe there is false advertisement here.

What product have they advertised that they lied about?

The issue here, my friend, is that when you complain while maintaining a subscription you are sending mixed signals. In the world of MMOs, so long as you continue to subscribe, you are giving de facto support to the actions that Bioware takes. The strongest message you can send, the way in which you will truly affect change is by choosing to unsubscribe. Fluffy bunny feelings aside, this is a business - you need to speak their language; money.

This - there is nothing more frustrating that having people not follow the kill order. I constantly have to ask people "kill the easy stuff please".

Agreed, the only difference I see between this (appearance customization) and other CC based things is that you don't buy the "recustomize" off the CC market, you use a console in game to do it. I wonder if that is why people feel like it is content? Because it is not in a menu?

Really? Changing your character's eye color from black to blue is what makes your subscription experience "optimal"? You guys are putting the cart before the horse, we should wait and see how it actually works when it comes out before we get into all this complaining.

Hmm, I will have to check mine then!

Are you forgetting the 100cc bonus? Why would they give free cartel coins to FTP people with no investment? That would make people spend less on the Cartel Market. So now, not only are they losing money on the app (which, by the way is not even close to industry standard), but now they are giving them 100cc/mo for nothing? It's called business, they are one.

As a subscriber you get 500 CC a month, those features will cost CC. You have Unlimited Access to them in the same way you have "Unlimited" Access to Ops.

You do have unlimited access to all 2.1 game features, what the heck are you complaining about?

What are subscribers not getting for free?

What classes "left off" somewhere? I will be honest, I have only finished the story on Trooper, Consular and Warrior, but all of those had a pretty definitive end to the personal story. Consular wraps up almost entirely, while Trooper and Warrior set the stage for why they would be the ones to go out on the type of operations we see taking place on Makeb.

I thought Revan was just a Portable Vendor? Yes

No, that is rewarding their subscribers. There is cost involved in that security. If you do not subscribe, you are not dependable income. Forcing physical keys to non-subs helps offset the costs.

No, he gave you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't just crying about Bioware not catering to you. He was wrong.
