Firstly, I am not a troll and I am not writing this thread to get attention. I am an adult Star Wars fan who has seen Episode IV - VI in the cinema when they were first screened. I bought into the pre-launch hype and own two copies of SWTOR Collector's Edition, mainly due to the promised "exclusive" CE Store where I hoped to spend real money to buy "exclusive" virtual items. I stopped playing LOTRO for SWTOR and still have LOTRO credits in my LOTRO account. I loved buying vanity items, pets different seasonal horses that are faster and stat and XP boosts in LOTRO and thought SWTOR would be the same, especially the CE store. I found out early in the game that we the CE store concept was only hype, but I gave BW some months to improve on it. I subbed for 6 month because of this and also because I enjoyed SWTOR at the pre-50 levels. I have just unsubbed due to various reasons which I discussed in another thread. However, I plan to pop in after they start the F2P just to have a look at the ingame store to see if there is any P2W items. If they are good enough, I might re-sub. Specific P2W items I like: PvP Stat boosts PvP XP boosts Exclusive CE armour with stats enhancements Exclusive CE weapons with stats boosts Flying mounts Very fast speeders Cartel coins Datacrons which are difficult to get Does anyone else like P2W items like I do?

The second they had a P2W item I am gone. I am barely here to begin with these days, keeping my sub open just to see what happens.

Nope, and had they put PtW items in the collector's edition store I wouldn't even be here now.

P2W? Heck no P2C? (C being Customize)Sure, if people want to spend money on vanity items I don't care, they aren't game breaking.

It's pointless to play a P2W game. You might as well just base the game off who has the biggest bank account. Even though I could afford any thing they put on the cash shop it defeats the purpose of the game. It's like playing chest with the aid of a computer program.
