P2W is a big issue and i wanted to put my 2 cents in. Basically, i think it will ruin the game because then all of the nooby 10 year old with rich parents will be able to pwn even the best players in pvp, be the best dps in ops, and do everything with their +300% damage boost gear that normal players wont be able to do. i do not believe any swtor player would want this, so all of you thinking it might be even a remotely good idea need to think seriously about the impact of p2w on normal skilled non rich players who just want to enjoy the game, including pvp and ops.
There are allot of things in life you can pirate,
for everything else there's MasterCard.

EAWare made it clear that the game won't go P2W, but the first P2W item I see in a shop or whatever, I'm packing my bags. This MMO would turn out being worse than WAR, but right now to this day this game is hemorrhaging players and will be like the 2nd WAR.

It's sad. Even after WAR, EA hasn't learned from its first crock of s***.

EA has said there will be blue level items available to buy for sub 50 classes. It's only going to be a matter of time until they do it for level 50s

Life's not fair, nor is a video game. If they go P2W, so be it. If they stay F2P with cosmetics, so be it.

They have research and focus groups and marking reports - you don't. BioWare and EA will make the best decision based on the market's need, not your little gripe.
Who's the more foolish? the fool, or the fool who follows him?

just because someone thinks they can P2W doesn't mean they KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

Ohhhh EA will make the right decision which is why their stock has done so swell in the last 4 years. They went from trading $54 in early 2008 per share to $13.56 today.

EA made the right decisions.

WarHammer was a PvP game.

For all the **** it gets, it was honest in what it was, and presented itself as nothing but.
