Now, they may be expansive in area size, but i dont find them having enough content for me to be willing to pay 10 bucks for a "new tatooine".
And makeb is supposed to be a city planet from what information ive gathered, so it will be more like coruscant or corellia. And corellia had around 4 levels of content (47-50) meaning it will only be slightly larger in size than corellia is right now if you figure it being a city planet.

Are you really willing to pay 10 bucks (above and beyond your monthly fee) to get access to another corellia?

Im sure not willing to.
i've already pre-ordered it. and i think i read there is world pvp. not very sure but i think i read that

Shut up and take my money!

Honestly though, you are paying for an MMO, are you not throwing your money at them as well? You don't need it. That 15 bucks a month could feed like 10 people in Africa instead. Corporations are by definition greedy because they are out to make a profit. Sorry to burst your bubble. And we pay for it, until we don't like the product any more. What I hear is, the green frog is green, and is a frog.

No one should be under the illusion that companies are out to not make a profit. This game is F2P now, and this is what you get. Time to deal with it or move on.

Pretty much, they are charging 20$ for a new zone.

But after F2P in under a year, life day "event" im not even surprised

lol @ at the subz that are QQing about haveing to spend 10 bucks for a expansion sure gues people really do complain about anything on this game. Yeah it's a small xpac but come on it's only 10 bucks and you do get a nice chunk of content i rather buy a bunch of small xpac's for 10 bucks than 1 big 1 for 60 bucks

There is NO class story, there is simply a world story they are rebranding as Chapter 4, it's the same for every class.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issues

23 free content patches, the majority of which were considerably larger than this "expansion".

Just an example, the last patch (free for suscribers) contained:
  • A new zone with new story arcs
  • A new end game raid for 12-24 players
  • A new end game skill (Incarnate slot)
  • New costume sets
  • A stack of QoL improvements to existing systems

The only reason EA can get away with charging extra for so little is players are so desperate for new story content because there's been nothing since launch. We've played through the same linear story over and over for 12 months now.

new level cap, with new class story chapter 4
Planet=zone. Something you get free in any other MMO i have played in last 11 years.

NO class story, just generic low quality MMO quests like the rest of the planets.

Enjoy your simplistic and souless, watered down MMORPG that currently has less active players than SWTOR and is also based on a cash store / cash grab model (check out their WIN philosophy for Halloween - an even worse cash grab than anything SWTOR offers)...

Enjoy your horribly generic and grindy quests...dont forget to milk those cows and water those seeds now will you lol...

Enjoy your 6 button endgame combat and mindless zerg gameplay...

Enjoy the bland and generic levelling experience, I am sure all of those "dynamic" quests that have been copy/pasted from Warhammer Online will keep you entertained for maybe 15 mins....

Yes, I am SURE you will enjoy GW2...as much as I will enjoy not having to read any more of your blatant whining and trolling on this forum

i'm almost 100% sure they said makeb = chap 4 class story not just world arc story so unless you have some proof of them saying ONLY new world story don't assume it's only world arc story
