I am concerned as well with some points brought up by the original poster, but I think it's a little early to call the developers out as scam artists. If the upcoming expansion significantly increases the quality of this game than there will be little left to argue about when there is newfound incentive for them to create serious releases of new content. Then, and only then, will we be able to determine whether this game has what I would call a 'legitimate future'. However this game is certainly not a 'pay to win' situation. Most Cartel and Legacy items hardly put a dent in regards to leveling/grinding efficiency beyond the Boost packs. And even they aren't that significant of a change to progress.

There are all sorts of clipping issues in SWTOR regarding weapons, etc. One of the most ridiculous examples of this is how Khem Val manages to stash his sword INSIDE of his torso. I understand how items are mapped to character models, but the fact that the developers didn't even bother to fix such a blatant visual issue as this since launch can get me scratching my head. Getting a vibrosword to cease clashing with a robe can be a difficult thing to pull off, but this problem could definitely be remedied if the developers were inclined to do so.

Yes, for the second time today I believe. Not exactly sure what the issue is but I would have thought actions taken this morning would have prevented this from happening so soon. Does anyone know if this issue is frequent with other servers? The Harbinger seems to have a nasty habit of mail services crashing. One would hope that our money is being put to good use.

This is not certain information. The Cathar will more than likely be implemented months after the upcoming expansion once most of the inevitable bugs have been squashed. I would say weeks, but I don't have the impression that the development team is properly staffed.

Perhaps the bodies were left where they lay as part of the memorial. It would definitely seem to be a much more sober view than a chunk of stone with words carved on to the service.
