Are androids and Iphones declared as "required" for playing this game?

In this case it's discrimination on the grounds of whether you use a Security Key or not.

Discrimination is discrimination.

Not the same thing at all, there is no improved travel option in CE or LE (unless you count saving 25,000 on a mount), and certainly nothing in CE or LE is active BLOCKING general Travel System improvements.


That's absolutely no justification for not having an improved travel system for all.


I'm saying that SWTOR should have a fit for purpose Travel System without having to have a secxurity key, yes.

Or that Fleet Pass on the SKV shouldn't be blocking improvements like Fast Travel to Ship.

Wrong way. I personally don't care for CE users at all, I know what I pay for, they know what they pay for, they like to pay more. And also no dev told us that they are going to, lets say, take away our current in-game mounts, just because those are "easily avalible" for CE users, you know.

lol

you can't post on the forums unless you have a current sub. that's discrimination!

personally, i think swtor (any MMO for that matter) should require the security key.

back to the ops question. no, it's not required. you don't NEED anything off the security key vendor. not a single thing.. /thread

I'm sorry, this isn't a case of discrimination as you wish to use the word as there is no unfair treatment going on. You don't like not having access to the Security Key Vendor, but refuse to get a security key app or keyfob thingy.

They don't improve the travel system.

Travel system is fit for purpose.

They want people to have secure accounts so they have to deal with fewer hacked accounts which costs them a lot of money. Thus they tie something the "I want it now" people want to have to something that secures their account against getting hacked. I'm sure they will improve the travel system in the future it just takes time and you need to be patient.

Usually, if company wants someone to use or buy something, they start from making that SOMETHING avalible to customers.

And as it is now - it looks something like "we want you to use our verysecutity thing, but it's your problem how and where you get one, we don't care how much it costs in your region and we also don't care where you get one in case we don't really want to sell it to you,and if you don't have I\android - oh what a pity, we thought everyone has both of them"

No it's not.

Everyone pays the same amount and can post on the forum.

Discrimination would be a SK forum that the Devs actually looked at and responded too isssues in.

/thread









Yes there is, you pay the same, you don't get the same travel system - it's discrimination.



Not only does FP improve the travel systems, but according to the Devs it is actually BLOCKING other improvements to the travel system.



100's of threads and 10,000's of posts suggest otherwise. It is functional, it is not fit for purpose in a 2012 MMO.



Them wanting people to have secure accounts (and you can have a perfectly secure account WITHOUT a security key - the only accounts SKs really secure are INSECURE ACCOUNTS) has nothing to do with them not improving the travel system.

Or at least is shouldn't.... as it does, then the discrimination occurs.

If you do not own a macfaԍ phone or android phone than buy a digikey go 6, It does not have to be a Swtor branded one, any Digikey go 6 serial will be accepted.

I own the CE and thus the authenticator. Not once have I used a purchased fleet pass. I use the emergency fleet pass (with the 18 hours cooldown) once every day after my dailies, to go buy/sell stuff on the GTN and I log off.

I don't see how fleet passes are really needed to enjoy the game. There is QT or taxis to get to the spaceport quickly, and on most planets there's even a quick shuttle to the fleet for Flashpoints.

If you don't have the patience for these quick ways to go to the fleet, maybe you should play a quicker game, like heads or tails maybe.

The hardware authenticators, and indeed the software one contain algorithms that the USA military have decided are restricted. They can't be exported to quite a sizeable list of countries under USA export laws.

Now whilst this means that people in America don't have any basis for complaining a person who resides in that long list of countries is likely to have trouble for trying to obtain one.

Still needs changing.

Bringing the EFP CD to 8-12 hours would help a lot.



If you just do that it'll be fine, but when you need to get from planet A to planet B to help someone then it starts to be needed.

It's a lot better with the improved quick travel admitted from when this thread was started, but it's still much worse without FP from the SKV, than with it travel-wise.
