Doing quest lines with multiple toons is the easiest that I'm aware of.

In addition to the Pazaak they could add card packs to the Cartel market. It would be another way of generating revenue.

Disney is going to want those billions of dollars they paid for the Star Wars license. So I can see this happening, but I can easily see it going badly.

Just to the PTS to my knowledge

Legacy is all but meaningless (imo) since things can either be purchased on CM or on the GTN from someone who bought it from the CM.

This is the same person who claimed they couldn't sell a Revan mask on the GTN, nobody wanted to buy it. Me thinks a troll with no imagination in trolling.

I would love a dye kit

Sadly the one person from Bioware who did say something in this thread isn't at Bioware anymore (or at least from what I can remember). Also I don't think anybody else is going to comment due to the fact they don't know how to politely say. "The Cartel market makes us money, the CE vendor does not. We are not going to divert resources to something that does not make us money." Sad really cause I really liked the concept of the CE vendor.

Yeah i saw the info right after i submitted the post.

I'm curious if this means it's going to be solely f2p or a "freemium" model. Very little info on this is annoying. edit: nevermind looks like something showed. up.

I can only answer 1. Diminishing return is the amount of expected outcome decreases each time you do it. An example is in Street Fighter they have a diminishing return on attacks. Where if you just spam one attack, each time you do that attack it does less damage each time. Therefore in encourages players to change up attacks and strategies. Not sure about how the stats for that work in TOR, sorry.

My hope is that they do try and improve what the legacy is. It will just take time and resources. Which I suppose they could have waited until all that was in the game before launch. However I'm sure they had investors breathing down their necks saying "You've spent how much already? and you still need more time and money?". With it out now they can at least have a stream on income to help offset the cost of updating and adding new things. Well that's my hope anyway. Ha ha, sounds like you got a redneck family tree going on there.

My guess is it'll be something more on the site and not in the game.

Or maybe it's like a pet you can't dismiss. Which as you spend more it gets bigger and bigger. It could get to be the size of a world boss if you paid enough. For the actual on topic point. I wouldn't care if they added MT if they went F2P. Since instead of a monthly sub they get the money from those who are willing to pay to get the items they want. But even that is a double edged sword. Since it would increase the player population but it doesn't mean that the revenue generated would be the same. Also the staying power of a F2P MMO is less when the next MMO hits the market (or at least in my experiences).

I actually liked the idea that there was no notice of the event happening. Was a nice surprise to log in and wonder what the hell was going on and why people were able to explode. I'm also not surprised it just ended and disappeared. However it would have been nice if the vendor did stick around. Also as it's been said before. Since it was a surprise event it would have been nice for it to be a bit longer so more people could participate. This makes the most sense to me for informing the players of when the event will end once it's been active for a few days. I really hope BioWare does more of these events and hope they take the feedback from the first one and make the others more enjoyable for everyone.
