Aside from account services (server xfers, char recustomization and the like) NOTHING. Then again, I dont really consider those microtransactions.

Most id ever accept is the stupid pets WoW sells and maybe mounts and only IF they (like WoW) offer a giant list of mounts already. Thats it. Anything more is an automatic cancellation from me.

cancel/uninstall

If EA/BioWare were to ever introduce microtransactions other than cosmetic stuff it would be game over for me.

I don't want to see micro-transactions. I pay 15$ monthly and thus I expect to get everything the product has to offer (that I within the confines of gameplay is skilled and dedicated enough to obtain). If your game is F2P or B2P microtransactions are ok, but P2P? No way.

Character recustomization allowing to completely remake your character, including race, body type etc.

That's the one feature I'm looking forward to the most since I actually can't stand the current look of my character.

^^ This id rather pay a subscription based MMO and get value for my money (which some will argue were not getting at the moment) and a good gaming experience that a microtranscation based game.

If EA moves toward adding micro-transactions to SWTOR, then I intend to move on to an MMO that is strictly subscription-based. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be contentious or disagreeable, but I even find the idea of MTs for cosmetic-only items to be odious. I really do prefer that my wallet simply guarantee me access to the game world for a periodic fee, and that my time and effort determine what I acquire within the game.

And you REALLY want to pay additional for that by having it in a cash shop vs. having it added as a feature to the game?

I don't care how. I just want it.

Also it's not a given that barbaershop (or whatever such feature will be called) will allow for anything other than changing hair / beard like its namesake suggests.

The day there are ANY microtransactions in SWTOR is the day I unsub and never look back.

I'd pay extra for AoC style nudity.
I'd quit if Zynga style F2P currency, powerups, or unlockables were sold.

And going back to WoW?

Just so you know, World of Warcraft uses microtransactions. All of those vanity pets, mounts, name changes, server changes are examples. Those are fine by me.
