QFT There should be nothing additional required to be paid for, when we are already paying a bleeping subscription. Things like extra character slots (16 per server) should ALREADY be implemented. Seriously ***... I refuse to pay more (subscription plus MT) for content that should already be in the game...

Not if, when. We are talking about EA, and as a corporation, they do want to make money. I only want to see vanity stuff for microtransactions. Though I will shake my head at people who spend US$25 on a vanity mount or pet.

I've never seen Microtransactions done with good taste. They always get greedy. First off it had better be free to play if they go microtransactions. I pay $15, I want ALL in-game content for that. Services could cost a bit. But don't go insane. If there's $25 things it goes too far. Microtransactions should be like a dollar store. Quick buys on a whim. Not like Star Trek Online which has been ruined by them with everything costing like $10-30 for the tiniest things (or sometimes nice things which cost freakin' THIRTY BUCKS!).

microtransactions = FTP FTP = PTP mode failed if PTP mode failed, I want to see an option to get my remaining subscription time REFUNDED to me because I didn't pay a subscription to join a FTP game!

Another one that crossed my mind, on top of the no c/d fleet and quick travel pases (limited ofc), apersonal shuttle pass that could take you directly to the SP of any planet, bypassing the ship and space stations. 2 bucks for 20 maybe?

This is like telling Kony great new ways to kidnap young kids. EA really doesn't need any help coming up with ideas how to nickle and dime us they have presented seminers about this. here is a presentation EA gave http://www.slideshare.net/bcousins/paying-to-win about battlefield heroes..

I challenge anyone here to show me how the LOTRO F2P model is either "play to win" or failed to improve the game. And it uses microtransactions in an excellent way. Not all F2P or microtransaction models are identical. Some are fantastic. Some suck. This game has neither kind yet. Quote: Originally Posted by Blistrich Typical response from someone who doesn't understand what F2P actually means. Ok, @Blistrich .. you seem to want opinions, but you want to do so in a challenging, near insulting way. For your information, I have played F2P Korean MMO's, one being Perfect World. F2P, with micro transactions. Heck, I even spent 10-15 $ ...... As for WHY? Which is none of your business actually, but.... I want Bioware working to keep ME in the game, not working out ways to gain more Micro-money from me. That's why, and no pseudo-intelligent individual like yourself is going to convince me otherwise. If they want my money, they have to earn it.

I don't want a micro transaction pay to win mode in this game at all, if there was I'd be out.

Legacy stuff and character slots. If anything else that helps you win over the people who pay less, I'll unsub that moment. Even if the game doesn't have a monthly fee.

But that's another story for another time and totally unrelated! A proper microtransaction based game can be played fully for free - any extras are inconsequential and not necessary for the experience. The best example is to date League of Legends. If you play competitively or casually, you can still play and enjoy the game whether you spend nothing or far above $15 a month. If you are incapable of not spending money on microtransactions, that's nobody's fault but your own. If the game requires you to pay to truly experience the game, you've got a case, but at that point the game is more Pay to Win than Free to Play, and that's not what we're talking about. Oh, I like this......No game can Fleece anyone? Really? What server are you on. I want to see the armor models you have on, as I'm sure they're just like the pre-release trailer cinematics we've seen......wait ..... If you have the new armor models on, they rock .... wait ...... Or, I may have to wait until you get out of your Ranked Warzone ........wait ... I'm sorry, it wasn't Ranked Warzone, it was ...... Open World PVP.. yeah, I'll wait till you're done with your match........wait ....... You MUST still be in that 8 man queue ..... wait ..... No matter, that queue will pop right away .... wait ...... I'm glad there is no grind at 50 ....... wait ........ No, no game can Fleece anyone.........wait.....
