Again, I understand i'm just stuck with it. But there'nothing wrong with discussing this. This is not a valid argument. those 3-4 days mean something to me, if not to anyone else.
I've never really understood the whole "the game doesn't fit my level of commitment, so please adjust your game to me" complaints. The game is designed to have a little something for everyone. The game wasn't designed to be everything to everyone regardless of how or how much they play.

So you want to do something in game that normally requires you to commit to certain things, like doing dailies for a few days to get some credits or kill a particular boss to get the bat mobile mount. If you don't want to commit the time/effort to it, cool. I'm not playing that much recently myself. But don't complain that the game needs to be changed to fit your play style. Leave it be and find a game that does fit your play style.

The same people that want everything watered down until it is all easily attainable are the same people that will quit paying for this game as soon as some other new and shiny game is released.

Sure, bugs need to be fix and content added. But somethings are going to require some effort beyond those that want to play an hour here and an hour there each month. Just accept your play style and the limits as to what is achievable with that chosen play style.

I worked to get my new orange robe. But it has some mods in it it I would like to change. Why should it cost me 100k or even 500k just to change my look but keep my stats in tip top shape? That's the point of the orange moddable gear right? It's too much.

The old "You didn't do anything but have fun, so you can never get anything!" line. Priceless.



No, fun leads to enjoyment, work leads to frustration and a feeling that it's a chore.



You must be thinking of a different type of game. These types of games should actually be fun to play, not something considered a job/chore/boring/grind.
Well put sir.

Woa there pal! I never said anything like this. You're just hitting me with the old: "so you think you're holier than thou" BS. I don't think so dude. I clearly said that I accept the fact that I'm stuck with having to pay this absurd amount to change my look because that is how BW has set it. All I've done is bring it to attention and create a discussion to see what other people think. I have the right to my opinion correct? No need for an assault on me.

Have I demanded BW change? Am I throwing a hissy fit rolling on the ground? No. I'll wear the same orange gear day in and day out and look like a hobo. As ong as my stats are boss and I can deal out 300k healing in a WZ.

But if I think it's a bit much, then I have the right to say so.

Yes, please, while we're at it, make speeder piloting skills free. Heck, ditch the credit system. Why even have it? I want everything NOW!

No its fine, there are vary fue econ sinks in this game with nothing to really spend it on. 19k is a single daily quest.

If you are so casual that 19k is "bank breaking" then try this game insted

19k isn't bad.

19k for each, for an entire set, for changing your looks is too much.

BioWare, your mod system was supposed to be an alternative to an appearance tab. Appearance tabs, for the most part, tend to cost nothing.

I wouldn't be averse to an "unlocking fee," where there is a cost for the first time you try to remove a high-level mod from its original armoring. But to charge me to remove mods that I created myself?
