They never said it would be free they said it was a possibility (for some reason people do not understand what this word means)

Being a requirement and all for your liking to be an expansion with multiple planets and all for 40$ in one go.

If you find a video game infuriating then perhaps you should slowly back away from your keyboard and maybe take a nice walk outside.

When in the history of MMOs have you seen any of them keep all of their promises?

In fact in interviews they said they were still deciding whether or not to charge for it. That being said, I am disappointed it is being charged for.

Whilst BW do make decisions that frustrate me - at least lets represent fact here...they DID inform the community that we might have to pay for this content even if we sub.... The fact that some players chose to ignore that update does NOT mean we have been lied to....just saying Driz and again (as you seem to be ignoreing it) They SAID MULTIPLE TIMES IN MULTIPLE PUBLICATIONS that subscribers will NEVER be charged above their monthly subscription rate for content updates MAKEB (everything we know about it and coming with it) IS A CONTENT UPDATE! I cant replate a big mac and fries and call it Prime Rib. It is what it is and nothing more Legally EA is bound to the public statements that they made first about subscribers NEVER having to pay for content updates (its the whole reason they calling it a Expansion, they exploiting legal double talk) Maybe you like double talk and all that me, I prefer honesty and holding companies to their word Again, im not against paying for a expansion and actually would love to get a Rift like expansion here. And I would gleefully pay for it as I want -multiple new worlds. -I want expanded planet sizes on existing planets - I want Pazzaak -I want Swoop Racing -I want 10 new levels (but ill settle for 5 if I have to) -I want expanded class storylines -I want multiple new races -I want new classes -I want a PVP redo -I want Space expanded (well not really but I know others that do want it) -I want updated crafting -I want more flashpoints and ops (and Id love nightmare flashpoints and hardmode heroics where all heroics get bumped to level 55 with sm/hm/nim settings) And thats JUST A START FOR A REAL EXPANSION THAT, I would pay for EA promised free content updates for subscribers and whats announced so far coming with Makeb is wait for it here it comes you ready? A HEAVY LOAD CONTENT UPDATE Dont get why some of you dont seem to grasp this FACT
In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions In GAMING, as in LIFE, You get what you pay for No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

This i can confirm, they said it and then took the word back. I got really angry back then, this is why i`ll get even more angry if this has only 1 planet and a lvl rise and is not indeed a mini expansion.

I dare think anyone of us has spent more then 10 bucks on some frivolous in the last month. Buying lunch only yesterday at A&W cost me $13 and i chewed through that in about 15 minutes. i get many hours of enjoyment for the 10 bucks bioware is asking for. Wowowow... Sorry but let's compare Makeb with WoW expansions once it will be out. Personally I don't think it will be comparable in size.

Link to the quotation where they guaranteed it would be free. As all I recall is them saying it's still being looked into.

What a misslead, no 4 content updates you get in other MMOs for free DONT count as an expansion. You can go to any other MMO, get updates like Makeb for FREE and the pay for REAL expansion on TOP of free updates.
