They should make the unlocks free if you reach a certain Legacy level... I rather spend my money on crafting and even customizing my looks, which is worth more money than getting an hour less cooldown on something I don't use that often...
What arent you getting about credit sink?

In the end everyone is going to have more then enough money for EVERYTHING they could want, eventually they'll be twinking characters super hard etc. Thats why legacy costs so damn much. It's a credit sink.

If it's just a credit sink, why is it at all tied to legacy levels? As it stands, getting legacy levels means nothing since they aren't an actual barrier to anything. The whole legacy system is a poorly implemented version of an otherwise good idea.

It's a huge credit sink for a little bit of fluff.

But I'm more irritated that it rolled out before server transfers, LFD or ranked Warzones than I am about the prices.

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. why pay 1 million credits so I have a droid in my ship to repair with when I could use the vendor I run past in the station and have a years repair paid for by that same 1 mill credits? it isnt like he gives you a discount or pays rent to stay on your ship.

I know this is cruel... but I swear to God, sometimes I wish there would be III World War just so that people would learn to put things into perspective.

because of what legacy was supposed to be and what it turned out to be.

all it is now is a credit sink for buying convenience items.

Exactly. Why all the legacy lvls if in the end you are limited by cash
