What you'd love to pay Cartel Coins for

For me it will be all about vanity type items and armor. I would like them to expand how we customize our characters as well. So I would like to see new faces, hair styles, clothing and maybe some cool weapons. I'm thinking just the cosmetic type, so orange with no stats on them.

I do believe however, than when they update something like character customization, they should also add some to the free aspect of the game. So if you have 4 new hair styles for the shop you should get 1 or 2 added to the F2P option.

I think it will be good, because with this set up, they can just come up with cool looking outfits, without tying them to an Op or to PVP. I'm still waiting for the ragged robes look, or the general Sith black look. I think we will get a lot more variability with the new F2P system.

I would gladly pay cartel coins to make my companions legacy bound and be able to choose which one I wanna pair with each of my characters.

I would also pay to upgrade my ship. Example I have the inquisitor's ship but I want the imperial agent's ship. I pay with coins to unlock that said ship.

Ability to use any weapon (within reason) as any character.

Ex: Rifle as a bounty hunter, pistol as commando, double saber as marauder, etc.

THE fifth quickslot toolbar? Cuz it seems impossible to get it for free!

- Advanced class respec
- Global (legacy) bank
- Datacrons unlocked for all existing + future alts.
- Duel spec
- Good looking orange gear (no mods)

Wow, that is VERY cool. I thought SWG and EQ2 housing was great but this looks even more spectacular. I would pay cartel coins for this in SWTOR. The ships need to be FULLY customizable because I don't really feel like I have ownership in the SWTOR world. Even as weak as housing is in LOTRO, it's far beyond this game.

How about a mission that is ENTIRELY roleplay, where the conversation tree has multiple branches (instead of always going back to the 'main line' with unlocks based on previous decisions.

Or a flashpoint that does the same, or at least something closer to Black Talon in terms of social content.

EA has said they're against P2W. They followed it up with suggestions of items that are down that slippery slope.

I can ask for +102 crystals in the P2W shop all day. In the end, THEY are the professionals, THEY set the standard for what they want and don't want in the game, and THEY will implement whatever they damn well please, customer feedback or not.

How many times have they proved that last point?

Pretty amazing what a subscription-based model can do with 250,000 subscribers, isn't it? And they weren't even a wet dream when BioWare started making this game...

Legacy Bank for sure.
New companions or companion quests.
Vanity items I really couldn't say without seeing them, but I'm sure there are a few out there I'd want enough to pay for.
I'd probably pay for ship interior decorations, themes, and upgrades. Make my house feel more like a house.

Everything I want that they put in the cash shop I have to factor my existing sub fee into the price of, though. Which makes me less likely to buy it. Which means there's less reason for me to want to keep paying that sub fee when it comes time to renew.
So long as Bioware can keep enough new FREE content coming to subscribed players that I feel like the game is worth $15 to play for another month, then I don't care how much they pack in the cash shop. But if all the cool stuff is for pay, and the free stuff isn't enough to keep me interested, I'll switch to free-to-play or just leave all together.
