DarthFenris Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just a friendly warning to all new players and anyone who reads this if you are planning on buying an unofficial guide to the game DO NOT buy SWTorSavior or any guide it is listed with as it is a SCAM and a waste of money their suposed guide and the guides listed with them do not give you a fast way to level as they just tell you to pick up every quest that you run by which you would have done anyways with out it. Their pve and pvp builds are a joke you can find much better ones here on the forums or by doing a little research online and most of them will have a link to a video showing you what it does. Their credit guide tells you to do what you would have done anyways max out your professions and then check the exchange to see what is going for what. Just a friendly warning so you don't waste your money because even though they say they give a full refund when you ask for it they ignore you.

BlackRifle Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) There's another thread like this. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=210363 In my opinion, anyone who pays money for any of these so-called guides is a sucker. There are tons of free information readily available here on SWTOR.com, YouTube, and various SWTOR fan sites.

DarthFenris Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I know but had a friend buy this particular one and after raging on him for a few hours figured I would post this warning for newer mmo players. I didn't know there was already a post like this one but after looking at it its about a completely different guide so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kytea Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Just a friendly warning to all new players : do not buy any game guide ever. Improved version Edited January 28, 2012 by Kytea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenglei Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Buying a strategy guide for an MMORPG is just about the most pointless thing you could ever do. Every single time that a patch or expansion comes out, the strategy guide's tips will become increasingly obsolete. Never mind the fact that any information the guide could give you, you can almost certainly get for free from other players, fan sites, or even right on the game's message boards. Back in 2007, when I first began playing World of Warcraft, I made the mistake of purchasing a strategy guide and a map atlas for the game. The only thing those books are good for now is nostalgia.

Miragee Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's never a wise investment to buy a guide, since all the information can be found for free if you do a simple Google search. It's worse with MMOs because after a few months those guides become mostly, if not entirely useless due to the changes made to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadawanRick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Better to use a wiki instead as they will after some time have extensive information about everything in the MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you look entitled even if you're not. (sorry, but it really does ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
