You just stated it was confirmed, but all you quoted and linked was an opinion from Yahoo lolol.

Besides, everyone knew MTs were coming. Paid transfers are MTs for example.
Looking for a good woman. Able to clean, cook, sew, catch bait, and clean fish. Must have boat and motor.

That is how an MMO works. You play -> you get better gear. Simple as that. If you don't like how the MMO genre works then you're playing the wrong game here, buddy.
Why who cares??

What is the difference to you if I quit my job and go on wellfare so I can sit at home and play video games all day to get my PvP gear or Stay at work and fork over some extra cash so I can get it???

So what do you all think about if EAware puts cosmetic armor sets in the SWTOR Store that are orange/adaptive gear?

For like 10-20 bucks you could buy a full set of orange gear and just mod it out from lvl 1-50. I

Would it cause any issues? Would it mess up server economies for crafters that can't sell their wares because nobody wants to pay the price tag in game and rather dish it out from their real pockets??

Thoughts?

If they are items you can't get through in-game methods and if they come without mods, then they wouldn't do anything to the server economy. It would be like buying a mount; it looks cool, but ultimately wouldn't do anything to anyone, except maybe make a mod crafter a bit happier.

Of course there will be MT. All this legacy is the beta test. Soon there will be $ option next to all of those options. Is this really a suprise?

Wouldn't surprise me to be fair, and even that wouldn't hurt game balance, player performance or the economy.

Either make the game F2P with micro transactions, or P2P without.
EAWare, I am not going to be paying both.
