I see that some of you keep refering to "its $10" but that is for subs. although I am a sub you have to think about that influx of people that we got with the F2P. with the items that were listed would that make you want to pay $20 for it? I think that if they do not add more content it could effect your server pop.

All my other games like Rift and WoW all charged like $30-$50 for there expansions. What a steal!!
Those expansions also tend to add major new game mechanics, such as additional classes/races/trade skills, alternative advancement activities, all of which help justify their price. We don't know enough about this expansion to really have any idea how good of a deal $10 is or isn't.

That's always the case. All the people with their high-end raid gear will probably have an easier time at leveling (even though leveling isn't hard at all), but by the time everyone his the max level and starts doing those End Game FP's all that Lvl 50 Raid Gear will be gone (at least the mods and such) and people will be rolling around it the new tier of stuff.

Then raids will happen and it will turn into what it is now.

It's the constant circle of MMO gear. Nothing to complain about, really.

Honestly, if they do it as the probably will, each tree will get some higher tier stuff that will have some new ability at the top tier of the tree that's too good to pass up so people won't be going hybrid much. That's usually how it goes.

Is there any chance this will bring more Hutt Cartel species into the mix like the Gran or Trandoshian or Rodians etc?

I'm ok with $10 for just one new planet, 5 more levels, new gear, and new abilities.

By the statement listed below I'm sure they'll have a new FP, OP, and WZ, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
"Stay tuned for more information coming soon - Over the next few months we will reveal more exciting new features!"

You're right $30-$50 does get you potentially more as it should for $20-$40 more.

With the way they've done content, don't pin your hopes on things that haven't been confirmed. Assume it's not in there till you see dev confirmation.
aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

You know what else does that? A new tier of raiding in every other gear based MMO.

Most baseless whine ever that keeps getting repeated by all the brainless drones..

Chances are pretty big you can start Ops in current endgame gear if the level gap is only 5 levels. Chances are also that the next tier of gear will be only 2-5 item levels ahead of current. Let's not forget that they actually announced they want to REDUCE the gear inflation curve.
