I don't recall such statements. However, I do recall that most expansions to any MMO - even those with subscriptions still cost money above and beyond the subscription cost. This looks to be more DLC sized, therefore I think the pricing for such is in-line and acceptable. BJ

The moderator then goes on to state how its unusual to give away something that big for free, and Ohlen repeats that it really is that big of a content update. The big announcement is now up on the main page, it does not say we will be getting any fps, ops, warzones, classes, races, class story, gear tiers, daily zones, pvp zones, or anything. Only faction/world story arc and a new planet of quests, that is all. This is truly disappointing it will be by far the smallest "expansion" I've ever heard of.

How in the world can you accept payment from people (or be silly enough to pay someone) with no actual promise made on the service(s) to be delivered? It's completely unethical. You're all so willing to throw down your $10 and you don't even know what you're getting!!! It's all about taking your money now and sometime down the road they'll give you something for it. If it sucks well too bad so sad. -- I have been a continuous subscriber since launch (only after I tried the game in closed beta) so it's not like I don't put my money where my mouth is. I believe in supporting the games you enjoy but once again the failings of this hot mess that is EA/Bioware/SWTOR are readily and abundantly obvious. Shame on them for thinking so little of their customers. Because GW2 did it? When GW2 started taking pre-orders and pre-purchases, there was no guarantee of any of the content and there was no release date. In fact you couldn't even participate in the betas without doing it. Personally, this seems to be DLC sized content and not a full blown expansion. As such, the current pricing is not an issue to me. BJ

I wont be buying it until I see what they are doing with crafting. Ending crafting at 50 when the max character level is 55 is laughable.

Those who pay will run around w/level 55 toons. Say you run into them in a WZ somewhere. Your 50 is dead because the other guy is 5 levels above you. You can be sure they'll introduce FPs and Ops down the road that require a level 55. So you can run it with your heavily armored 50, but you'll be a drag to the group and will get killed. Enjoy.

True true the cost is not bad, but i feel a bit betrayed about what has and is happening, i mean i bought 2 accounts, one a collectors, and the other a digital deluxe, and paid for almost all months one account, and all but 1 month for my other account. I know there has been a lot changes for this game but I'm starting to think none of them are making things better. I hate to rain on the parade, and I'm trying not to add to that subject but its hard when the game still feels stale only a year after its launch.
