Selective editing doesn't validate your view in light of the point being made: There is a reward given in game for time spent and skill learned to achieve said reward. Real world "resources" (e.g. Money) should not be used as a means to circumvent the effort to obtain said reward. It dimishes the accomplishments of those that achieved the reward via legitimate IN GAME means.

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? Im 30 years old, I work, I have 4 kids, I homeschool those kids, and i Have a healthy social life. I run a successful ops guild, my main is in full campaign, and all my alts are lvl 50 and at least in battlemaster. All my lvl 50's have every datacron. Basically L2P
It may be nobody wants to be heroes except when it doesn't count, when it isn't challenging, that people would rather fight "pretend evil" than the real thing, but I don't personally believe that. I still think people are better than that. Raph Koster

In-game challenge, the amount of time it takes to earn a reward, and the level of your stats are just numbers completely controllable by the devs. Why ask for changes to those systems when you can offer to pay for them, and keep paying for them? Silly humans.

I find the OP's lack of trolling skills disturbing.

I'm having fun with the game atm but if they introduce PTW I'm gone. I mostly PVE so I define PTW as making the best operations gear available in the cash shop. Even though BW folks have said in video interviews that top tier gear will not be purchasable I wouldn't be surprised if EA went down this route later on because their mandate after all is to make money and corporations nowadays seem to be about short term gain rather than long term payoff. Oh well, there are plenty of other good games to play out there.

I'm all for pay to customise! I would pay for epic outfits without diminishing my gear stats.

I am absolutely FOR pay to win. I p2w in real life and nothing would make me and millions happier than to p2w in my video games as well. You hear me Bioware? Make the game P2W and I'll gladly spend over $1000.00 a month easily.

I also left LOTRO for SWTOR. You know why? P2W. LOTRO was getting unbearable with its demands.

SWTOR + P2W = Me not play anymore...
What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me.
