There's a good reason why I bought the standard edition.

Next time you'll know. Chalk it up as a learning experience. Pre-order perks are never game-changing or phenomenal add-ons, and if they are, they'll usually show up somewhere else later for some kind of fee or exorbitant cost.

You got your statue and the maps and the music and all the other stuff. You got what you paid for.

I really hope they intend on doing more with that, because as it sits, there is nothing I couldnt live without in the VIP lounge.
You will excuse me if i /laugh at the people smug enough to include a small golden key and words like "proud owner of the ce" in their signatures during beta

You guys do know they make it all sound cool so you will pay more money right? You got a speeder that does not scale with character level, making it useless when you outlevel it. A crystal that is just a joke and does not scale either, can't be changed or upgraded in any way.

It's walking a fine line but there's nothing wrong with it. It's your decision what you spend money on

Training Droid is another amazing example. I still don't know what the heck it does but I don't think it allows you to train skills when you level up out in the field. I guess it does not do damage either. "assists you in combat" apparantly means spinning around your target. Clever indeed.

Who would have thought that the "vip lounge" is just an area to lounge around in.
I used to be Part of the community But the aussie dollar is strong with this one.

It was suppose to be a super awesome dance club but people did not take to it. How sad.

Huh? The VIP lounge makes my computer spit a free candy bar out from the disk drive when I go there. Yours must be broken.

All i ever heard from BW about the VIP lounge was along the lines of "a special area that only the VIP players will have access too with a couple of unique vendors".

nothing else, its not BioWares fault that nobody ever goes up there :/

Oh thank god I didn't blow 1 Mil credits on this. And here's what they COULD do:

Up the credits to 3 MIL so it's a bigger savings task,

1) Dyes for certain pieces of gear (unique looks).
1a) For one, saber COLOR mods only, not stat mods.
1b) Perhaps chest or something else. At least wep though.
2) Unique mounts (only available via VIP)
3) Free 60 minute buff via bar drink/food.
3a) Increases expertise by 100. Not useable in any rated game, etc.
3b) Increases endurance or power by 100
4) Lore Master, more interesting facts about the game.
5) Re-Spec Master, half the cost of one below.
6) CROSS faction AH (exclusive to VIP, but at least allows trade between factions, helps with overpopulated factions).
7) Additional companion customizations.
8) Crafting profession additional schematics (epic, expensive, but available).
8a) 2 per profession.

There, I just made the VIP lounge incredible and an integral component to the game and something to strive towards.

Yeah, Bioware should do this or hand the reigns over to a development team that will work towards making the game innovative.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.
