Come on, be principled if you must but also be rational and start your in game goodbyes. This will surely go down as one of the most pointless 'hunger strikes' ever but more power to you. We'll just keep playing and enjoying the game you apparently like as well.

Excellent point. Well done.

Funny. I thought the implementation of the Cartel Store was the Rise of the Hutt Cartel. And no, I do not like what that story has to offer. I keep getting screwed in it.

Has anyone actually sat down and though
"wait a sec, most of this is appearance and social stuff, I don't really need this"
and moved on?

Other F2P mmos do this and BIND IT AUTOMATICALLY TO YOU

LOL! The only thing all the other "hunger strikes" got us was the F2P model. I have to agree with the quoted point. We're already at the bottom of the barrel. There really is no place left to go. It is definitely a deal with it or leave proposition these days. No offense intended to the other guy, but that's really all there is to it at this point.

Yes actually that has been pointed out countless times. You can also point out that it's available on the GTN as well to no avail. People that want to moan about it will continue to do so

lol... hey any sane person knows and will tell you that if you walk into a casino or game of chance you are most likely gonna walk away in the red... yet gambling is one of the oldest pastimes and people still line up for miles to throw down their hard earned money on the table while calling it fun... any company who doesn't see this and capitalize on it would be foolish

personally If I'm gonna waste money I prefer strippers and booze but to each their own I suppose
"bibo ergo sum" ( I drink, therefore I am)

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

Honestly, I'm just embarrassed I didn't think of that before posting.

That's why, when I gamble, I'm at a friend's house drinking their booze and taking their money.

Everything seen on the Test Server is subject to change before release. It's NOT set in stone. And pointless hunger strike? I'm saying I'll quit the game if they do this, not MMOs altogether. There ARE other games that don't pull greedy bull like this on their customers, you realize?

And goodbye to you. I won't miss your dim witticisms.

Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

I'm sure that they have decided to completely rework the framework of the F2P model based on your feedback before it goes live.

I am not the only one who is against these boxes. Stop trying to antagonize (troll) me and let it go. You have your opinion, I have mine. Leave it at that.
