Really folks, it was a comedic bit from a show and or network that tries to be funny because it is no longer relevant. The purpose here is not journalism. They pander to the lowest common denominator so people will watch. The beginning and end of the video is case in point. Whatever your opinions on SWTOR, the MMO Report only hurts your argument.

I am in fact slightly worried about him talking F2P for SWTOR. That would be one of the few realistic things that would scare me away from this game in the near future. Cash shops truely are a blight on the galaxy...

One has to gauge that there will be subscription access concurrently available, and that any F2P/microtransaction model will be there simply to grow subscription numbers.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Numbers don't always mean money, though. Sure you'll get more people playing the game, but there will be a large portion of them just playing the free portion only.

The content's already there, so players who only want to sample it to level 15 or whatever would require minimal maintenence. A F2P model where players can play the entire game based on microtransactions is but a developer's cash cow courtesy of people with questionable math skills. Wanna play after that level 15? Either pay through the nose for gear and content unlocks as you go, or subscribe. Unless someone is addicted to playing the microtransaction game, subs are the obvious answer for cost-effectively playing past the trial. Now if subs went away in favor of a full time F2P model, then I believe most of the core customer base would probably leave. So I don't see that happening.

It's show me time. He has a BS in film. He is paid by video game advertisers to say what they want to hear. Why should I listen to this man who has no clue about video game development, business, technology, or engineering on matters of technology? Especially considering he is a paid shill for the industry? He had no problems raving about how great the game was in the beginning. The only thing that's really changed is the amount of money EA is throwing at him to spin their game. No more money = no more praise.

If I am wondering about going to see a movie, I would ask my friends what they thought, and then maybe check out some movie reviews, but if I already saw the movie I do not need to go find a movie critic to tell me what I am supposed to think. Same thing here. I am already playing the game. I have played it for a while. I do not need to go find some 'professional' to tell me what I am supposed to think. A bunch of people more interested in looking/sounding good/trendy/cool than in actually reporting facts and letting people judge for themselves are not people in whom I place much faith in the opinions of, anyway. Didn't click the link. Didn't need to. Not going to give those clowns any hits.
Free stuff (for you and me)! My referral link. Beta Squadron 157. The pixel lives on in our hearts.

These people are usually the ones in a position to get new players to the game. Such as the Best Buy rep in the quote. This. Thats what frustrates me. Like someone said, Casey overhyped himself for this game. He was a big supporter. Now like every other hater he bags on it when he can because it wasn't what he wanted, but what different about him is that hes in the unique position to actually hurt the game because he doesn't like it personally. Whether you like it or not, people watch his show, and by him bashing it hes turning away potential players just because HE crashed and burned on it, and now even more people will hate on it. Im not saying this game is perfect, it has problems, but look at the stuff he said. "Missed transfers" Since they are still ongoing that was a lie or he just didnt care to look. "The community outraged" I hardly saw any hate on the transfers, besides the lost names and guild transfers, and any idiot can look at the server list and see that it obviously is better than what it used to be. I chalk him up as another hater who didn't get the game he wanted, but like I said, he can actually hurt the game more. Its sad really.
Do or do not. There is no try

LOL.. All these people do on here is cry about one thing or another. The game's population is a joke, so much that they had do such massive server transfers to nearly every server if not all. And yes, they did cry a LOT about the transfers ( I didn't bother reading them all because I was just happy with getting off the dead server I was on. Tuesday will bring in loads of new cries from these people for who knows what reason but I am sure they got their complaints saved to a text file already.
