Well look at it this way.... 1. CM offers extra items, maybe for fluff as some people say, or maybe because people want to get in the "spirit" of things which IMHO is what a star wars mmo is all about. You're doing role play without knowing it 2. If no one bought from the cartel market, BW has less income and you might see less frequent updates. For BW its still a business and you are helping people, yes indeed PEOPLE, make a living. They do pretty great bringing us new things every update. I know some people have the attention span of a fly and want everything now and not tomorrow, but there new things to try in every update. 3. If no one bought from the cartel market, those items wouldn't show up on the GTN 4. Maybe the reason why the cartel packs are gambling sets, is so that people end up with stuff they have double or don't want and they would actually sell them on. If you could buy exactly what you wanted from the cartel market without a bit of a gamble, would any items even show up on the GTN? 5. If you compare the price of a subscription and a few cartel coins (or even a lot) to other online communities, we're pretty good off. Just compare it to other pass-times... go to the pub, go play some kind of sports, laser games, paintball etc to name a few and for a few hours you've outspent your hours and hours of fun is SWTOR.

oh now this would be fun to see, e.g. get one colour crystal...gets in your collection...you take 80 replacements out of your collection and sell em.... Maybe the reason why they dont let you sell cartel pack items just saying....

Loving it! Thanks for the great work guys, Treek is funny as hell, the tauntaun mount...well....cool! Keep up the great work

First off... Keep up the great work Devs, love the game! Here are a few things i've been wondering about for a while 1. Why is there no slicing critical sensor for sale from the legacy droid/vendor on our star ships? I think i see everything else, but i may have missed something, so far it seems to be only slicing that is missing. 2. Why does the game client go afk when you're using you mouse? I've been logged out several times while either browsing the GTN or while crafting. This cannot be that hard to solve i hope 3. A legacy locker/bank for e.g. crafting materials would be great 4. An option to not have you pop up in the guild (offline/online) when you switch between characters. I don't really mind, but i can imagine that others may not want to see me switching characters all the time when i'm crafting gear. Thanks and have a good one!

Really like the latest 2.1 update 1. The kiosks work great, cartel coins involved are rather reasonable 2. Dye modules are quite nice, too bad they are in a lottery system when you buy the CM ones, but lots of other choices as well. 48 total for this update as i understand. 3. The logon queues were a little overflowing right after the update as everyone tried to log on, but that's to be expected One remark though when you buy the extra human hairstyles, the qui gon jinn style hair (last but one on the slider) which i really like is sticking through armour on the back and shoulders, maybe it should be a little shorter so it disappears under the actual chest layer. Keep up the nice work
