The Republic: SWTOR is "Out of Control"

Bioware is Haveing War On Xmas just like Fox News!

They dont Care about the kids, families, players enough to have Holiday Events.

They overcharge for them in the Cartel store.

A cartel Holiday speeder, that looks like something a Drug Dealer would have on MTV pimp my ride show, that is so Ugly and Obxnixious that even seeing it, leads to disbelief.

Bioware why, oh why are you having on War on Xmas like Fox News?

except if it was really cool just as many people if not more would be complaing that they make all this reallly cool stuff and only sell it on the cash shop forcing people to buy it and they only give the crappy stuff in game through quests.

There is no way they can win.

Ok, I'm criticising them too, but why did this have to descend into 'HURR DURR DEY TUK URR JERRBS!'

There is no advantage to buying it. You can very easily NOT BUY IT.

Whether you, I or anyone else buys it has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO with something being a rip off/vastly over priced or not.

It either is or isn't whether anyone buys it or anyone doesn't.

if no one buys it then they can't get ripped off. How are you getting ripped off by not buying it?

That doesn't mean it's not poor quality and overpriced. And it also doesn't mean it's not a lazy reskin of existing content with a huge pricetag slapped on it.

Honestly, this is more about Bioware's work ethic and approach to content and improving SW:ToR than the speeder or whether we should pay x y or z dollars for it. It's just a reflection on how the game is approached in general.

how do you price a limited time digital item?

Quality? The quality is actually pretty good. It's tacky but the quality is nice. It has the blinking lights and the snow that it blows out. It is unique.

How do you know what their work ethic is? I would say it's actually pretty good seeing as they are releasing content on a 6 week cycle (not even blizz has achieved that. In fact blizz took 11 months before it released content) and while they do have bugs with new patches (as does every MMO) they are quick to fix them.

Yes it sounds fanboyish but if you are actually objective and compare their work ethic to other MMO companies and look at their content cycle and bug patch fixes you will see they are one of the top companies out there.


Again the speeder is 100% optional. Not to mention if you still have cartel coins you could have gotten it completely for free.

I used to think they were quick to fix them. Not so much anymore - especially the dev posts that say "we have a fix in the works that we will deploy after the first of the year/"

im with sstanks on this, the xmas mount does cost alot but it is totaly optional, if anything these mounts are tailored to the true collectors who want every mount, every pet etc going and will prob never ride it.

you clearly haven't played many MMOs espeically not WoW.

WoW tried to fix Arcane missle and blink for over 5 years.
