Why all the complaints about the price of legacy unlocks?

At the current prices the unlocks simply aren't worth getting. For me it's not so much that I can't afford it as I simply see no reason to spend that many credits on those things. If the costs were in line with the benefits then I'd probably have a few of them.

That's the thing... not everyone plays the game all day. In fact some players only player for a couple hours a day. PvPers that only play a couple hours a day shouldn't have to give up PvP for a week to run dailies in their little bit of time. So maybe you should do the math bud. They said in the past higher legacy levels would equal cheaper unlocks.

You dont have to play the game all day to make decent credits, if u play say 3 hours a day farm for 1 simple as that.
I've been playing since the game went live and have 3 lvl 50s and a lvl 30,, not much to do after you u reach lvl 50 except to start making alts and farm some everyday.

Why the complaints?

A, most of the unlocks are useless and not worth the price. Nobody minds paying a premium price for something useful (target dummies) or unique (speeders that were removed, rare color crystals) but they sure as hell mind paying exorbitant amounts of money for minor convenience items (ship GTN) a few of which many feel should be standard anyway (ship mailbox)
B, some of the unlocks are absurd for what they do (fleet pass cooldown? useless) thus making the required price irrelevant. Fleet pass cooldown could be 10k credits and I probably still wouldn't buy it because even at max reduction the chances of me using it twice in one day and/or play period are slim to none.
C, some unlocks are becoming mandatory (rocket boost) which is making legacy become less of that fun thing you mess around with in your spare time and with your alts and more of a thing you have to waste your time doing regardless if you want to or not (especially with the class specific buffs)

This thread is not about WoW. That game is far from perfect, and it can't be a template for SWTOR. Go play it if you miss it so much.

I want to roll a rattakki jedi consuler. I already had 3 level 50s before legacy came out.

Of those three it was 2 humans and a Twi'lek. Had I known how to unlock species back in December, i would have rolled differently. Now i am ready to roll a Rattakki but wait...i have to roll a new toon to 50 just to unlock the species i want to have as a jedi, I have the second option of course...i could farm credits all day every day.

I took option number 2 but then when i made the credits, i realized it would cost a ton of credits to remove Battle master mods and add them to orange gear. My jedi looks so stupid right now, but the new orange legacy gear is 250,000 just for the top, I am ready to just delete him.

The point is the rinse and repeat is getting old, grinding credits so i can unlock a species jsut so i can go do the same quests over again is boring.

BTW Voss has become the grave yard of my alts, I am so sick of that place....(a little of topic, but god i hate those quests).

Careful, he'll accuse you of being a WoW fanboy for not agreeing with him!

On subject, I don't see why people are complaining. Everything is just aesthetic or convenience. Nothing that gives an advantage to your gameplay or anything.

Sure I'd love a Chiss Trooper, but it's not gonna stop me playing one if I don't grind the credits. Sure I'd love a mailbox on my ship, but it's not gamebreaking that there isn't already one there - besides I rarely log off on my ship anyway.

To me it feels like double dipping... It took leveling 3 characters to 50 to even REACH level 21 in five months. That alone should be enough effort to unlock the perks. It's a double grind... You grind the levels then have to grind a year or more for the credits to unlock it! I mean c'mon now...

Personally I know how to earn a million creds over 10 hours but it is extremely boring. The thought of having to farm enough to gather some of the unlocks makes me ill with boredom. Farming money is NOT content.

It's just a throttle to give you the illusion of content. The prices are ridiculously high and most any sane person can realize this fact.

Not to mention many of the unlocks are just USELESS. Wow... A whole minute saved on a 30 min or hour cooldown... WOw... So stellar. I'm going to waste credits for something that useless?

Just all feels like a huge slap to the face. How about those Legacy armors and weapons eh? Useless, useless, useless.

How is that NUETRAL GTN working out for you btw? If you thought selling things were difficult on your normal GTN give that thing a go. Everything is just so ill conceived and not thought out to any degree.

OK people, you have to choose whether to complain about legacy being useless OR about the price...both just makes no sense at all. Why would you care about something being expensive that you dont want?

I dont think they are overpriced, but apparently Im a lot more patient and dont expect to be able to buy all unlocks within a month. I rather have it taking a while than that I have nothing to work for...

This guy gets it.

Really, all BW would need to do is implement an XP->credit rollover at max level. (Yeah, fanbois, there's a reason that Blizzard implemented the same thing: it's a good idea!) Right now there's zero incentive to go back and do any missions at 50.
