TOR to sell Stated Gear In FTP cash shop here is our new content after 6 monthes of n

IMO, you are confusing the gear a character wears with the player hitting the spacebar like a hyperactive gerbil.

Gear does not make you blow through the stories. Impatient spacebar spmammers do that.

so every new character you make will be stomped by people who bought their lowbie gear. no thanks. This game has always been about the journey to 50 and now that part is P2W.

Hehehe...no moderators to shut this down yet?? I think they leaked this info to gauge our reaction..Please guys when the cartel shop opens up, Don't buy said gear for any reason what so ever (although why sell gear on CS, unless its overpowered, when stuff you get from drops and quest is just as good)...only way to send a message is by not sending money their way. Welp in regards to gear I mean.
I would glady buy vanity items, cusomization gear or fashion I should say, legacy bank!!! (crosses fingers), hell even a potted plant to put in my ship...but never gear.

Yeah all those things are fine.......... stat gear? P2W.

I have no problem with selling of stat gear in the game for players below level 50. If someone wants to pay $2 for a set of level 30 class gear that will last them a few levels, let them. I know I've hit periods in the leveling where I suspect my gear has fallen behind and there is no gear progression system while leveling like there is after level 50. It is not like anyone needs to buy the stat gear, for the most part you can get what you need if you stick to all of the planet quests, but there are other play styles out there, especially F2P ones, that will find the ability to buy some gear while leveling a big plus, and no one is going to win the game because they bought some gear (which is probably on par with whatever is dropped/rewarded) at level 30.

DDO sells statted gear in their shop. You still can get better gear questing.

I'd imagine this will be the same here.

No one is going to 'win' by buying raid gear either, so why limit the cash shop to lower level gear?

"I don't want to unbalance the game by putting things out on the store that somebody can walk in on day one, buy and be the winner. Having said that, there will be some things that we put out in the store that do enhance power value in some way, but not at the top end."

However, Hickman could not confirm nor deny that it will expand the level cap, nor would he go into detail about whether BioWare is going to attempt to sell this to subscribers or not.
