Totally agree. Legacy was supposed to be this great big REWARD for players, that unlocked new tidbits as you level it up. When they announced it I was excited, something new to the mmo genre.
Instead it has landed in a monumentally Underwhelming wet SPLAT. If I have to BUY & PAY...it's NOT A REWARD.

Actually asking the question to whoever is in charge of Legacy: Is there EVER going to be even a single REWARD from Legacy or can we just expect more of the same lousy MONEYSINK?

To be fair it did give me a cool last name for my toons, but they didn't need to create Legacy to give us that
Commando [Gunnery] 60 , Sage [Seer] 60, Gunslinger [Sharshooter] 59, Sentinel [Watchman] 57, Vanguard [Shield Specialist] 60
Juggernaut [Immortal] 55, Sorcerer [Lightning] 60, Powertech 53, Operative 49

Okay so there’s two sides to legacy, there’s inheritance which is what all your toons have, and then there’s the individual perks you know the level up spec boosters, starship combat, warzone combat, flashpoint, story instance mission. Under that you also have your companion affection boosts your speeder training stuff and a few other lovely items. Personally I think the only stuff you should have to spin out credits for is the individual perk boosts, simply because that’s to train one toon. The inheritance perks in my opinion should auto unlock, in fact some of them do. The valor, social, light and dark side perks auto unlock under specific conditions. I have several myself. I think the other inheritance perks need to be set under the same properties. It’s just like the race unlocks, you take a race to lv 50 and it unlocks to be rolled for any faction and class. No one should have to play for inheritance perks they need to be set as unlocks only. Now back to the individual perks. Yeah those prices get a little steep for my liking, some of them need to be reduced, however other are fairly priced considering you already have a lv 50 who can farm over 70,000 credits in about say an hour if you know what you’re doing. That took me about 3 months to figure out. All in all is not perfect but you have to remember this game was nowhere near completion when EA force Biowear to release it. And that was only what 8 months ago. It may have been in beta but it still had a lot of things that needed to be finish. Legacy for one and I’m sure these plenty of other content they had planned on having finished before release. I’m not saying they don’t need to step up their game, their behind the 8 ball and the clocks ticking. But we all need to cut them a little slack. Okay I’m said enough sorry if I’ve bored and or annoyed you was only trying to state an opinion and point out what I’ve seen. I believe your view points are valid and I think that Biowear has a lot of work to do

Generally I'd say you are a 100% right and i would be willing to wait a little bit longer for this game to become what it could have been from day one. But...

I at least, am not aware of any sign that shows an intention to address this issue (like many other...). And with BW taking a step in the opposite direction by lowering the legacy requirements I don't think that there ever will be. I wouldn't bother and just wait for my subscription to expire if I could understand how they can keep messing up such a promising and unique feature.

This will increase the marginal utility of the legacy "rewards". As it stands, the abilities are overpriced for the actual utility obtained. Having a sliding scale would allow the buyer to opt in when the price per utility gained is at the acceptable "pain threashold" of the purchase in the eyes of the buyer.

Right now Legacy Level is useless. I am currently "rewarded" the "privilage" to pay huge amounts of credits for abilites that are just very "meh" at best.
I had the same idea (now I don't feel unique ). I think it makes sense to have a 1% decrease on all legacy prices for every legacy level you have. So at level 25 you get 25% discount, at 50 you get 50% etc.

I don't think that's all there should be, there definitely needs to be things that only unlock at high legacy levels. Increased speed sprint or speeder would be nice. More levels to the character perks. What would be really nice is to have a legacy 50 only unlock to make any character perk you got to max rank converted to a legacy perk to apply to all. It's annoying having to re-buy the same perks on every character if you want the same on them all.
