Well 1st of all there was no content update after EC fpr months because F2P was prepared. Then we got TFB and AHG and that is basically it. The game consists of 90 % story lvling content. We have 4 raids now and 5 Wzs now. After one year. 2 raids and 2 wzs have been added thoughout a year and notihhng during F2P preparation. Now they jump straight forward and want to charge everybody again after they did close to nothing after launch. And that is one bad act.

OP, it's not the cash. It's the fact these people who whine and complain live in a world where anything said is absolutely non-negotiable, even if circumstances change, and any deviation causes them to have mini-fits of rage. As flexible as diamond.

What I find amazing is...

People are willing to dish out $12 for a new set of 'armor', $3.60 on a draw for random 'loot', but they squawk about $10 for a micro expansion.

We have no player transfers off our stupid destination servers. We have no same gender romances. We have no ilum fix, which should have been free of charge and seems like they will want to charge for it with Makeb. They still haven't fixed skin color affecting the color of gear bug. Crafting profession have become more useless now. I can go on and on, but I some how doubt it Makeb will fix all these problems.
So we do agree.

Some may reckon that, but without knowing the final details...they're guessing at best. Personally for 10 dollars, I think the level cap and new planet are more than worth the price of a McDonalds lunch. Even if nothing else was included I'd say thats a fair price.

However, the ad page for the expansion clearly says more to come as well.

"•Experience 5 new levels, including story-driven missions, as the level cap increases to 55!
•Face-off against a frightening new enemy when you battle the nefarious Hutt Cartel.
•The fate of the new planet Makeb is at stake... and in your hands.
•Stay tuned for more information coming soon - Over the next few months we will reveal more exciting new features!"


More info soon. More features other than what is listed.

Listening to people "reckoning" who couldn't possibly know the extent of the additional content isn't really worthwhile.

I agree. I just can't think of Makeb as an expansion, even a small one.

I don't think you get it it's not how much it cost when it first launch, but how much you can buy per dollar vs content right now. MoP comes with 5 new zones and an increase level cap of 5, which is the same as Makeb. You get two new battlegrounds/warzones. You also get a new raid zones and dungeons, operations and flashpoints respectively. Thus, why on earth would I buy Makeb when I can just buy MoP for only $10 more. From a pure content vs cost it's better to get MoP if you already have all the previous expansions.
