  1. When you have to start explaining to the "clever" raiding community that mmo doesn't mean "you have to group" or that being a soloer doesn't mean that you "don't need" engame gear, this discussion has no sense. I'm a soloer. While I'm playing, I dont have to deal with stupid kids, their mothers calling them for dinner, their jealous girlfriends, their jobs, pseudo leaders, elitists, min maxers, walkthrough junkies, scheduled raiding activities or whatever. I like freedom, I just sit in front of the computer and I play my way till death. All day or all night if I'm pleased. Do this mean that I'm a bad or less skilled player? Of course not, I've seen PvPers and Soloers more skilled than any raider. And like other user wrote above, this is not rocket science.
  2. No thanks. Basically you propose to add another grinding factor to the game so subcribers should buy CC or grind to death for again: another limited amount per week or month. There no pont giving 500, 200 ,300 or whatever lower amount of CC if the cartel market managers set the prices to 600 for ONE thing that should be included in the subscription UNLIMITED access. Oh I already won ~200cc with the legacy system, nice I'm gonna take those and buy ONE dye. I'm so happy. /sarcasm
  3. I usually don't pay attention to who say what. But in this case the OP quote is very clear, Anyways, quote or not quote, if this game were really f2p plus subcription model, subscribers should have unlimited access to every game feature as part of their subscription. All the cartel market stuff should be "Bind on Pickup" world drops , rare but available, and subscribers have a CC stipend. The stipend, that subscribers get now, can't even pay one full customization per month. Also, the current design encourage subscribers to pay unlocks in CC because it is very expensive using credits. We all know how these "tricks" work. One day the droprates are reduced or the prices are increased then people have to spend extra in boosts and other stuff.
  4. It not about the fluff (that it is important in mmos), it is because when the people think that something is not right, they don't want to be part of it. Probably many are not affected by 2.1 changes, for example my characters are just perfect and I dont want to change anything, maybe just a small detail and that won't be very expensive. But I started to loose confidence and I ask myself "what's next?" Even the defenders have a limit, it just matter of time.
  5. I'm sorry, I missed your "constructive" contribution to this forum between the whining for your lost exclusivity and your requests for more exclusive dyes.
  6. The only sets I got complete are the organa statesman, organa loyalist and genteel clothing (which unlocking prices are 360, 90, 90 respectively) because I prefer to combine pieces to find better looks. 360cc to unlock a barely common set and 90 for something that can be bought for llike 2k credits... 60cc for an emote that cost 100credits. I mean, is these new feature supposed to be used by normal people or just stupid ones with more cash than brain? It is a good feature, but those prices turn me off. I already unlocked 3 cheap toys that I use frequently but nothing more so the "collection" wont be completed ever. Btw some items are not being added to the collection upon login, to be sure that everything is added put your bound items in the cargo bay and place them gain in your inventory.
  7. Well Said!. Give CE and security key owners the ability to sell their items and get some credits. Make benefits of the money they paid before like CC buyers do now. The pettiness is strong in this one.
  8. Yep same here, the "substantial discount" doesnt apply if they charge double prices. Don't worry, this game is still playable and it could be worst, the degradation process will continue as scheduled, yesterday Lotro added an ingame slot machine called "hobbit presents", figure it. I believe all these people go to the same club and share the same stupid ideas.
  9. where have you been all these years, Soviet Union camp or something?
  10. Probably some users think the best way to support a game (not only here) is going this way, but certainly it doesn't. It creates a false feedback perception that everything is fine when it isn't. At least, not for everyone. There's nothing wrong with people asking for more benefits and the less if they are paying a subscription. What the next update is telling us?, the answer is: Look, you may subscribe, you may buy xpacks, but that is not enough. We need you, at some point, buying cartel coins. So lets resume, I'm a subscriber but if I want to use the new features I will be limited, discounts and free CC included in the equaiton. How long when a "new" feature will replace an old one to become a new CC sink, resurrection, quick travel for example?. I'm speculating of course.
  11. wow someone ask for more stuff for his money and the only thing he/she gets is a whole horde of fanboys attacking. The reason of why people still paying subs is because there are critical features that cannot be bought with credits or cartel coins. Those missing features could make the game very frustrating and EA/BW is taking advantage of it. So answering the OP question, the point of your $15 are these "little" stuff like the credit cap, the teleports, the probes, ingame discounts and the stuff that work as "consumables" from the cartel market like passes. So the people really interested in the game (loyal customers) should subscribe and, instead of use the stipend to buy CM items, use it to pay the new features. (and if you want those CM then buy CC, - briliant!). You like it or not, subscribers money is also being used to develop the game. Unless you prove that all that money go to a separate account just to maintain the servers and pay the original investment. False advertising and bad advice. There are subscriber features that don't exist in the CM, plus it's a way more expensive for a "normal" person. If the advice is good intended (which I doubt so) it should say the OP to go preferred and buy unlocks from the GTN with credits.
  12. To be honest I'd like a cheaper subscription price of course , but as others have said, the price is similar as others mmos. Which I'd like is more advantages or freebies for VIPS (not necessarily detrimental for f2p) regarding the upcoming stuff that it has been designed for cartel coins use. It has been said, the "barber shop" for example.
  13. On the bright side, if we have thundercats now later they can add transformers and power rangers. Btw, there was a cartoon with pandas too
  14. Always check the GTN, there are several adaptative lvl 1 sets from cartel packs usually very well looking and cheap. No need to waste your CC yet.
  15. Yep the game feels healthy in every place you are. Bringing more potential customers is not enough, there a lot of things that could be improved and I hope EA/BW won't go the disposable-customer model.
