  1. I actually prefer that over having 200+ on the fleet that lag the hell of me.
  2. All the MMOs I played introduced new races via expansions which cost a hell of a lot more then 6 bucks (600 CC averages about that cost). And I remember being subbed to all those games.
  3. This is your just your opinion. My opinion is SWTOR from the beginning was well worth its 15 dollar monthly sub. And a lot of people thought the same thing however once people that rushed to hit 50th level they found the end game lacking. This is not a problem that is solely found in SWTOR, but other MMOs can relate to this. All these new "WoW-Killers" start out great from the start. People rush to max level then hit the where is the end-game content wall. So people usually go back to WoW where they started and do their dailies and do the same thing they did before any new MMO came out. Now SWTOR is very high maint. because of it's voice acting and the way it was created from other MMOs. So it takes A LOT more time to create actual new content. New races need or new companions, voice acting etc takes way more resources then any other MMO out there. But it's much easier to produce fluff content through the CM, which then produces more resources to pay developers to pay artists, voice actors, etc.
  4. People have it easy here. 20-40 CC to change your hair color style...come on, how hard up for cash you have to be to pay that. If money is that much of an issue for people, then maybe less playing and more working at that real life job you have.
  5. Yep that would make me quit this game too. I love the game but not enough to pay to play. These people are having a cow over fluff, imagine if people had to pay for important game content.!
  6. Are people that upset about a fluff feature that much that they would want to pay even more money for a total F2P option?! 500 CC = $5 on average so if you sub now you A LOT of features that sub offers now plus an extra 500+ CC per month. So you want to just give all that up because you have to pay a little extra to change your hair color?!! Seriously?!
  7. Also people think that a simple subscription alone should be enough to develop major content like adding playable races, new lands, new levels, etc.. Well think of it this way, when any other MMO out there wants to add a new race, new levels, land, then they offer its players an expansion which usually goes from 40-100 dollars (Collectors Edition). However, in SWTOR I like to how they are developing new content. Want a new race, here pay a fraction of the price for a totally optional playable race. Don't like the new race, then don't buy it. It will not affect your game play one bit. Same thing with Makeb, for 10 dollars you get a new planet and 5 more levels. I am liking this new a la carte content instead of paying 40+ dollars for stuff I would probably not even use.
  8. I have not paid twice for anything yet. So not sure what you are talking about.
  9. So next time someone complains that their subscription should be enough then they are fooling themselves. This game is here because of the CM,. Without the CM then this game would be as dead as City of Heroes.
  10. I like it as well. nuff said.
  11. I actually love the way they are doing it. I personally don't play chiss, so not going to buy that package. I don't want to pay a huge amount of CC for a bundle that I will not be using. This way I can pick and choose what I want at a fraction of the price.
  12. Well if EA/Bioware depended solely on subs to keep this game alive I bet there would be NO SWTOR. There was a reason why it went F2P, cause subs alone can't keep this game going. If you want to play SWTOR then you have to live with the CM.
  13. Well people do ask what they get for their 15 dollars, well you get 500 extra CC. That is 500 more then a F2P player. I bet that some F2P players probably pay more then 15 dollars a month. As I said before think of these new features as a la carte system. So instead of spending 40-60+ on an expansion to get to play a new race, in a new land, added levels and items like the rest of the MMOs out there. Here at least you get to choose to either spend your money on the the things you like or not waste your money on what you don't like.. I got the expansion but I am not buying the cathar race because I don't like the way it looks. I like that you can pick and choose what you want to pay for.
  14. I never played an MMO that offered a new race or class without an expansion that cost at least 40+ dollars. Here you get option of an "ALA carte menu" of picking a race for a fraction of the price. Just be lucky that if you sub, you get free CC to get the new race. Some people think that coding and development of an MMO is an overnight thing and people work for free.
  15. Well that cash goes to development and progress to the game. I remember when this game was pure monthly sub and it took months to get a patch. Content comes a lot faster now that it went F2P because of the added resources. No one works for free, this game takes a lot of cash just to keep running and that doesn't include the development cost and paying employees that make new content. Now if content was slow to come by then I might be little pissed . And if I didn't see any progression then II would just walk away and play another MMO instead of getting upset on the forums.
  16. Night sisters/ Force witches as a new class. More races and a new planet.
  17. I like the way they made armor dyes. I know some people wanted a slider to pick whatever color they wanted but I can make a real good guess that most people will just pick black or white, which in turn makes it a big joke. Now at least if you have a cool color like those, then you know it is a rare combo and not have an army that look like clones of each other.
  18. 1) Imperial Agent - Best all around story from beginning to end. 2) Sith Inquisitor - You start off as a slave and become a sith. That alone deserves praise. I also loved the power struggle within the sith empire. The story involves a lot of power plays with a dark and ruthless touch. 3) Sith warrior - To me the first chapter of this story is the best of them all. It's so great that the rest of the story , which is good as well, just can't compete with chapter 1.
  19. Let's put it in its simplest form. Without funds there is no game. Since this game is F2P, most NEW features should cost money. No one works for free, unless it's a kid playing off his parents credit card can't comprehend that fact.
