If you didn't have money as you say, you should have bought the standard edition. I'm sure if you're tight in budget you can't afford to buy a load of cosmetic and slightly useful items for 20 dollars.
You did not read the post obviously. It isn't a complaint about that. The complaint is in large part, paying money for something we did not receive. Period. That is a valid complaint no matter what your personal opinion is.

Exactly. I mean, seriously. We're only talking about 20 bux. The digital items you get for that tiny sum is far superior to the digital "deluxe" items you get in most, if not all, other games.

I never expected genuine "assistance" in battle from a fluff pet. Like other MMO's, the most it would be expected to do is maybe 1-point of damage.

All of this should have been looked at as vanity stuff.

I do understand the issue with the holo-camera. But, I'd still be happy with the purchase if they left it out.

It isn't a pet, thats the complaint. It is an onuse item that works for 30 seconds or until you kill the mob. That is not a pet. There -are- vanity pets in game: the sandcrawler, the mouse droid, l2-p2 from beta. The training droid is not a pet as was advertised. That is the droid based complaint.

While you have valid points OP, as a someone in the healthcare field i would suggest letting it go and relaxing no need to get your blood pressure up so high it'll squirt from you ears over digital items lol.

Agreed.

Bioware, you've screwed this up. Fix it

Reality: Crystal is useless in the game, and is one ugly black/yellow color that is unchangeable.

Mount: Advertised as a digital/collector mount.
Reality: Give it crappy speed so it becomes obsolete making the mount worthless.
This, and the OP's post, the droid thing is NOTHING like what it was advertised.

And the mount is obsolete so soon but it looks soooooo good.

Also, I don't see why they couldn't have added a DE/CE crystal for every level, so you can keep it as you level.


Look at what rift did, they made their mount usable from level 1, they also made all mounts in rift AND wow, scale with training, so that no mount ever becomes obsolete and you can ride what you like best.

Overall I am disappointed in the item, but I trust bioware will make the right decisions here. Or at least I am hoping they will.

Nothing in the collectors or DE make me go "Ooooo! thats so neat, I wish I had that item!"
I'm not asking for I win buttons, just make the mount scale with training, make the pet an actual mini pet, and maybe add more crystals for each level and just make the cost to buy them scale as they increase.

I do not think any of this gives players with these bonus items an advantage. And would make them usefull and closer to what was advertised when I pre-orderd.

It's fun when people argue over semantics and trivial things.

The only thing that does not come as advertised is the droid... but everything is as the description implies.

Your fault for expecting some super-mega-awesome items everyone would be jealous of.

In about two months no one will give a ****, neither will you.
