No matter how I would just LOVE to buy credits with CC as easily as I buy CC with real life money, I understand it is not likely to ever happen as it would probably harm the economy of SWTOR. The current method available - selling cartel market stuff for credits on GTN - is not only slower and time-consuming, it most importantly does not increase the amount of credits in SWTOR. All the credits you can get this way had to be originally gained by someone from a drop or quest reward - which are sources BW can regulate and balance comfortably. If we were allowed to buy credits for USD (or some such), the amount of credits in SWTOR could increase drastically over very short time, inflating prices on GTN and discouraging players who rely on earning credits through playing - and if hardcore players leave, rich spending players might follow and SWTOR would end up where neither BW nor we want it. Pity, though, I would really love to buy some credits myself...
