Collectors Edition pain and bitterness

I agree with the OP. This was the first CE I've ever gotten. I was a huge Bioware fan and am still a huge SW fan. Looking back I will never buy a CE again. I was looking forward to uniquie character looks and really the CE store does not deliver. The offerings there are slim and well tired by now. I wish it was updated with some new stuff atleast once a month. That was seriously why I got the CE. Everything else is just sitting in a box in the closet. I am left with a bad taste in my mouth after looking back at what I paid and what I actually use. Here's to hoping for an update on some of the CE store gear options.

I never said it costs them nothing either, but making a plastic mould isn't exactly expensive. Go learn to quote properly and stop putting your bewildered inferences into peoples mouths.

Just have a little patience, they'll add more stuff to the vendor in future. The majority of what we paid for was the high quality physical items in the box.

I think the thread was started in the wrong manner, while i don't agree with the tone of the original poster to this thread i understand in part to what he's trying to say.

It was told to us that the Collectors Edition Store would be regularly Updated with new things on it, not for anything that would be overpowered or unbalanced but simple vanity things like appearance things, different colour crystals pets, companion skins etc.

The only thing that has been added to that store since launch is a TaunTaun Pet which looks very similiar to the 1.2 Legacy TaunTaun that everyone got, it's almost as if they thought ok let's give the collectors edition guys a slightly different looking pet to the one everyone else is having.

This leads me to believe they don't care about that store now and i doubt we will see any updates to it in the future.

I'm happy with my Collectors Edition purchase but it pains me i pre-ordered it and paid £130 for it and still today in the UK at least you can still buy the Collectors Edition box for as little as £60-70, doesn't feel very collectable if basicly everyone can still buy the thing 6-7 months after the game has launched.

I would say the majority of people who paid for the Collectors Edition are still paying SWTOR, are loyal customers and still have faith in the game and Bioware, so why they don't give the Collectors Edition some love is a great shame, since we are probably the core of this game.

We want you to continue improving the game , making it better and providing new content, but don't forget about us Bioware, cheers

The main reason for so many ce's still knocking about in shops is due to the fact so many called for it because they couldnt get hold of one pre release but ended up just grabbing the DD so now there is a glut of them floating about. But hey its swings and roundabouts. I can still go find an original wow ce, wont be able to get the pet but could still buy it.

IT he like 5 things on it and not one of them is any good.

Really I mean the statue is cool I guess but what did we really get? It was a real waste of money and Im bitter about that. Just wanted to vent
I know what you mean. I recently purchased a Ferrari 458 simply for the steering wheel, and I am incredibly disappointed. All of that money gone, and in reality it's just an ordinary steering wheel.

I feel jilted, alone, and confused.

I guess it never occured to those of you talking about "what do you want special gear that makes you better than everyone??" that they could take the exact same high end gear that everyone else gets, put in on the CE store for the same price, but give it a unique look.

Something like that, anything more then a pet and a skin for mako

Ow i dunno, what else could they add, an officers uniform that requires no social rank is fully adaptive, free access to the security key vendor on the fleets and illum and a mount purchasable from the vip lounge............ ow wait they did that already.
