This is why the forums are such an evil place. No one is ever happy.
Some of us are. I am, for example. But Rule 1 of forums seems to be that unhappy people post more. Most other people are too busy enjoying the game.

Another easy fast way to get credits is go to ilum and solo SM 50 fps on level 55 toon. Very easy even in S&V and TFB level gear and entertaining too.
I'll have to try that on my 180/186 geared Sorcs and Sage in DPS spec. Nothing beats a Sorc/Sage for killing trash mobs IMO.

From your own posting history:
Other people are saying "it's overpriced." They are wrong, because their statement is too broad.
It's only overpriced for them. There are a lot of people for whom it is not overpriced.
Not overpriced for "a lot" of people quite clearly implies affordability. Who are you trying to fool here with your backpedaling?
What part of "It's only overpriced for them" do you not understand?
Clearly, I do not say or imply that 50 million is affordable for everyone.
I dislike arguing with stupid and/or dishonest people, and that's why my ignore list keeps growing.

from missions only you are correct.
When you count what you get from drops and selling back rep it is closer to 150k (depending on your luck). Personal I do CZ-198, faster and plenty of Matts. I also do black hole, again faster and if you solo CtS you can get some very good credits. I also do the heroic on Ilum, again solo so I get all the credits and I just kill everything I see. In total I will spend 30 to 45 mins doing dailiy 4 or 5 times a week on one character (slinger) and I can make close to 4 million in two weeks. Not selling anything except drops to vendors. At least once during those two weeks I will do all or ilum, section x and the oricon weekly.
Yep. And with enough geared alts, you can do nothing but weeklies to maximize your creds/hour --- except maybe on Czerka, where the need to do two FP may or may not make it less profitable per minute -- I have not checked.
Also, it is important to include the value of the Basic comms, which are readily convertible to credits via Isotope-5. That makes Basic comms worth about 2K each, which adds up pretty fast.

And like I said, cartel coin purchases is the chosen method for BW to maximize that profit you're speaking of. Making a highly desirable game feature easy to access via in-game virtual currency is completely contrary to that very purpose thus destroying your entire argument of 50 million being "affordable".
You are confused. I never made that argument. I plan to unlock all the Legacy Storage tabs using a combination of credits and CCs, and always have. I have no hesitation about paying the cost of a night at the movies to do so.
YMMV.

LS is the ultimate in QoL conveniences. It saves you a few mins of loading time when you mail stuff back and forth.
If that's not worth it to you, then by all means, ignore LS.
Complaining about the price is pointless.
Especially since you get the first tab for free. No way is BW going to lower the price on that!
-
Your unabashed trust in BW is cute, adorable actually, despite the fact that it is not grounded in reality.
Do you know what "trust" means? In essence it only means predictability in how someone will act or react.
I predict BW will try to maximize profitability. That's the limit of my trust.
-
It'll only be really fun when we start seeing people from both factions congregating in the Tat and Nar Shaddaa houses.
Wow, that's cool, I had not thought of that. Gotta start spamming those silver keys! My Sith Sorc can finally meet my wife's Jedi Sage that's such good friends with my Sorc's separated-at-an-early age sister who became Jedi Knight.
Together, we will save the Republic and the Empire from themselves! In our own imagination, anyway.
-
That's great. What happens when you get tired of the limitations and want to start making your house your "home" as it were?
If you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need.

Re: when given a free full glass of your favorite drink ...
When it's not the drink ordered whey would anyone be thankful.Oh, simple courtesy and a realization that you were not entitled to it, perhaps?
But I understand that both of those things are rare on the forums ... the Dark Side is strong in this place.
-
and thats the fun part of this "game" in a year we will be able to look back at the sub base and see who is right.
No, the fun part is that I will be enjoying my Stronghold and Legacy Storage in a month, regardless of what people write in the forums. YMMV.
-
What good is having said goal if you get burned out before even making it half way?
Yeah, let's let EVERYONE compete at the Olympics. Otherwise, people who want to might "get burned out."
Not.
-
And your delusions obviously allows you to believe that SWTOR is somehow immune to every single factor that is relevant to just about every MMO in the industry. Why don't you actually try to put forth some evidence that supports your side of argument as opposed to resorting the cliche one liner that is "BW knows".
My side of the argument here is simply "you are making statements you have no evidentiary support for." I think I've provided all the support I need for that.

re: having no credits after playing SWTOR for a long time:
Then you're not doing enough content.Or spending too much money on pulling mods, augmenting gear, or cosmetic/QoL items (like my Revan statue: 5 million credits, and cheap at the price!) Where else can the money be going? Unless you die a lot, you cannot help but make money in this game. If you die a lot, L2P, for gosh sakes.
-
Right....it's "entertainment". Most people here are saying they don't find grinding credits "entertaining" enough to warrant the exorbitant price of 50 mil.
For some. But for me, it is worth more the price of a movie ticket, popcorn and a drink. Or a couple of DVDs. So I do not need to grind credits (even though I actually enjoy doing "credit grinds" at times.)
That's the thing about entertainment products: the value is entirely subjective.

Re: how many players can afford to max their Legacy Storage,
Really? This isn't hard to figure out. This isn't the early 2000's where there are few MMORPGs on the market. Now the MMORPG industry is very saturated and as a result player attrition rate is notoriously high. Across the industry, the average player sticks around for somwhere between 6 months to a year before moving on, depending on the title. Also keep in mind that the average MMO player also has a intensity ratio of 22 hours played per week so based on those numbers ...Nothing in your post provides a method for determining how many SWTOR players can afford to max their Legacy Storage, and not just because industry-wide stats do not apply to a specific game (e.g. EVE Online).
BioWare knows, because they can query their databases. You do not. Stop pretending you do.
-
Given I'm talking about the entire legacy storage and not just one tab but I assumed you could understand that. I gave you too much credit.
Your response was to my statements about the one free tab. Your problem is that you simply refuse to admit that BW has given everyone a great new free feature: one tab of Legacy storage.
I begin to think you are the kind of person who, when given a free full glass of your favorite drink, would complain that the glass was not large enough.
-
The gaming industry is a business like any other.
No it isn't. SWTOR is a luxury entertainment product based on a hybrid subscriber/cash-market model. Other than at the most basic and irrelevant level ("Make money") , it is nothing like a farm, nothing like a widget factory, nothing like a retail store.
-
Bad question as that can be turned right back at you.
How many have YOU developed and marketed?
I'm not the one declaring BW is using poor business practices, so I don't have to answer that.
Otherwise, I'd just turn the question back ion you.
-
The price is fine, people need to calm down and work as a guild to earn their ship.
Infernixx nailed it. This is correct.
-
... again showing complete lack of sound (and common) business practices.
LOL. And how many profitable MMOs have you developed and marketed?
-
Your words, not mine.
Liar. Provide the exact quote if you dare.
And just in case you are not fluent in English: "me' is not synonymous with "people like me."
-
Almost as silly as declaring you keep the servers running? LOL!!!
At some point your distortions become outright lies. Do you care?
-
But you see, the problem is, QoL features should be for everyone, not a select few.
Ah, the entitlement crowd speaks. "I am entitled to the same quality of game life as those who work hard to acheive things in this game, even though I am a casual player." Sorry, no. BW isn't your mommy. You want the good stuff, go earn it.
Stronghold transit time; Legacy Storage rocks.

Update: I timed the round-trip travel time to go from the Nar Shadaa Stronghold to my starship and back: under 30 seconds, including the time to select the trips. The available crew skill missions changed each time I moved.
Changing from one stronghold to another took about the same amount of time (15 seconds), and also changed the available crew missions.
