I actually have the full set! What about the Legacy gear? Is the Mara's Legacy gear similar to the BM Weaponmaster's belt/bracers? I hope someone can confirm this. Edit: Just googled it. Doesn't seem like it does.

Well I used most of the coins in November for all the account-wide unlocks. I rarely ever use them for boosts and boost unlocks, but sometimes when I don't feel like using credits I use the CC. Yeah. I've dealt with the market. Had to sell my Revan's Gloves 50% off what the LBP was on GTN for it to finally sell. The GTN has some very steep prices.

Yeah, I remember that. You could augment them though, to keep the Expertise. There has to be a similar version of the belts and/or bracers somewhere in the game.

I know they aren't in the game anymore, but is there any piece similar to either of those that are mod-able? I want to rock a Darth Marr look, and since we can now dye our armor I'm able to add a dye module with Darth Marr's gear colors to my armor and look just like him! I'd just like to know if there's a Belt (and possibly even Bracers) that is available and mod-able.

Really uncalled for and unnecessary, Bananamuffin. I'm very sorry I can't zealously defend this game like you can.

Pretty much I'm getting more credits to have more options of being fashionable in-game. Although my only other content is PvP, I do like going out in the Open World and attacking anyone with the color red on their nameplate. When I'm not in PvP and just walking around, it's a nice way to show what I can afford. Always so insightful, CK. I felt it was quite ridiculous to spend more money, but when I realized I wanted more $ in my internet wallets I just had to start buying to feed my fashion habits. I've probably spent over 60 million credits (maybe even more) in items, gear, etc. altogether! Thank you so much for clarifying that! Was waiting for someone to do so. I do wish the CE vendor would get some love, and get stuff the CM would never have. I have the best of both worlds. Exactly! Like I said to CK, I've spent approx. 60 million credits (possibly even more) for gear, items, etc. on all the characters I've been working on now. I have 18, and I have no clue how much that total will add up to be! I think it's best I do what I like and not think about it. Some people will assume I have no life. It sounds odd, but having exclusive things is almost like a "must have" for me. I do spend my time outside WZs however, usually just walking around, browsing the GTN or going out in the open world killing other players. Like I said, the question sounds a bit confusing. Mostly everyone here feels its fine whether or not you spend more money on top of your sub for extras. To me, it helps me out a ton "pimping" out my characters and unlocking some legacy buffs. I also wanted to see other members' opinions on the cash shop in general, and look at the good and the bad. So far, I have nothing to disagree with.

Maybe give the CE vendors a lightsaber with light that flows around the top of the hilt? I don't know. The lightning effect is freakin' awesome, and it would be great for us to get something ONLY obtainable through the CE vendor. CM (and any other method) will get no similar version.

Legacy names are no longer "unique". If two people wanted the "Copperfield" legacy, they can.

I think he was just calling the fact of the questions I raised stupid, and not myself. I know he's a bit condescending on the forums, but it's just his nature. In response to your last post... I agree with a lot of what you said. With my toons, every single one I've created as of this point has everything about thing exactly right. I always make sure I don't make any mistakes so I'm not forced to use CC to change anything specific about them. However, the CC may be a part of my core gaming experience, even though I can be critical about SWTOR (and even the CC itself) at times. I'm not even casual. I'm a hardcore gamer, but since PvP really gets a slap in the face in terms of rewards spending real life money gives me the opportunity of being almost filthy wealthy in-game.

I don't really think it's the spending itself that is the issue. It's just that I spend money for "more content", if you will. It's a bit hard to explain. I've found myself at points where I did find myself really disliking what the CM did, but on the other hand I really liked how it allowed me to afford virtually whatever I wanted in-game for my toons and gave me more options for customization with my gear.

Well I ask because I don't want to sound like a hypocrite if I ever get critical with the cash shop, or if this is generally a bad thing to do. I want to know other players' opinions on it and see what they think BW/EA could do to improve the cash shop. I've noticed EAware loves to put lots of emphasis on the cash shop, but it shouldn't be the only thing that matters. I recently spent 80 bucks on CC this month just for the exclusive pets. I hope I'm not crazy for doing that, but the CC I've gained this month really helped me with unlocking stuff in Collections and buying a few things here and there from the CM and its unlocks. I get 700 CC a month and even that wasn't enough for what I was always eying at. After getting thousands of CC this month, it's really helped me out and I'm hoping to not use so much for August.

I'm asking you guys this question because I know I'm highly critical about the game at some points, but PvP isn't my only source of content in MMOs. My other only source of content, is different types of gear and cosmetic items available through the cash shop or some other method. I like this game to stay subbed at this point, but I know a lot of players have their disgruntles about the game's cash shop. I know there may be and are things EAware is doing right with the cash point, but what are the negative side of things? I'd like to know what you think because I don't want to feel like a hypocrite if I say anything bad about the cash shop. What I do like, however, is that I'm able to use real life money (because PvP offers such laughable rewards) to buy virtually whatever I want for the toons I want to customize and purchase XP buffs and unlocks for.

I would love this! I would really like the old Champion gear set so I can look like Darth Marr!

Thank you for the info. Time to save some money, then.

Very happy I saved myself the trouble from this, but very, very unfortunate for you, my friend.

LOL /5char

So how do you get more Rep for the guy, anyways? What's the best way of obtaining more Rep and certs?

Since when does she do her homework?

We really need something original and special. For ex: the Ziost Guardian Lightsaber from the CM is like the only one of its kind. The CE vendor needs something like that.

Watch the Biodrones drone their way out of the woodwork and defend EAware's cash grab scheme with this lovely item.

Makeb was a bad planet. Brought nothing new to WPvP. Rise of the Coin Cartel™ and 2.0 brought almost nothing new for PvP'ers. This digital "expansion" was just DLC for me.

Doesn't this stuff not even concern you? Whenever you see some form of PvP criticism whether it's before a patch or after, you seem to deem all sort of criticism as "nonsense". Do you even PvP at all?

I can't believe EAware is paying you for these silly responses.

Ah. I see one Biodrone is up PvP'ing now. Just because you don't agree with a thread with negative views on the game doesn't mean it's "pure trolling".
