I hated that I had to spend a lot of coins to change my cyborg to human to have the new hair styles available. It's unfair. Every other game that has customizations options only charge game currency, not real cash. Everquest, World of Warcraft, just to name a couple.
Yes you had to pay real money if you wanted to change gender or species, but not to change hair, face, eyes, etc. I understand the need to generate income to support the game. But with such limited options, and the discounts to subscribers, it is like a slap in the face. It seems like we are being told to simply stop subscribing, since they make more money the other way.
Also lotery boxes. They are ruining the game's economy, there isn't a real money sink for people anymore. It would be better to have something, like appearance customizing, to cost game credits, as a means to get means to get more money out of the game.
I refuse to buy cartel boxes, because when i have tried in the past, I never got anything I wanted, and what I got I couldn't sell. I'd be more inclined to spend real money on things I can get rather than a chance at them. Everquest did it that way, and I think was much more successful in the long run for it. I spent a lot of money on things I liked, and was happy to do so because it supported the game.
Why can't all armor sets and dyes go up for a listed price (and not just the occasional piece like the Eradicator's set)) for people to purchase? I know several people who would be more inclined to invest their money into the game that way if they got to -choose- what they got.
I've been a subscriber since launch. I'm also a roleplayer. So PVE/PVP unlocks are pointless to me. Throw us a bone here besides a handful of cartel coins each month.
I want more hair styles. I want more options. I am ok with mixing up old styles to create new ones. (As given in the picture example of the Original Post). And I want them for ALL Races, not just humans. Why give us the option to play other races if you are only going to give new stuff to one? I don't think I am asking for a whole lot. I'm just asking for a reason to continue my subscription and not go to another game.
