Can we not buy this 'Expansion' with Cartel Coins?

Don't forget to save your CC.... so you can use it for content.

Was'nt that what people were told when anyone said this was going to happen????

When we said things like this were a concern for us, we were called haters.

Did not matter if our concern was valid. Did not matter if it was posted in perfect form, with no yelling.Just trying to voice our opinion.

We were told shut up, that is what you get CC for. So you can spend it on the new content/expansions.

Odd.....

Because anything said in the past means absolutely nothing today - that's the crux of the whole Makeb issue.

Ah I remember those topics. *sigh*

I don't think BW are aware that the decision not to offer Makeb for Cartel Points might actually cost them more money than it will make them. I can only speak from my perspective. I'm a long-term subscriber, playing the game since early access. There was nothing on the CM for me because it basically is overpriced fluff and due to real life obligations I'm little more than a casual player with limited game time. But I stayed on my sub because I know from other games that additional content usually becomes available through the online shop. That was what I intended to save my Cartel Points for. Now I'm sitting on a heap of funny money which BW claims should be worth over 20$ of stuff but I can't buy the stuff I want. You only get this for 'real' cash up front. So if I can't get such content with the ingame currency I already possess, what's there to keep me from turning my Cartel Points into an adequate f2p experience with unlocks and cancel my sub? That's right BW! Because I'm essentially lazy and don't like to penny-pinch with my gaming experience I was willing to stay subbed in order to get Makeb in the shop. Now that this option is off the table I can unsub, enjoy the game and simply resub once Makeb hits the servers. If I buy the stuff before unsubbing I get it for 10$ and by playing the game f2p for a month or two I can actually save money in the process.
Maybe I should thank BW for jolting me out of my lethargy. The simply wisdom hit me: If they can nickel and dime my gaming experience then so can I.

Everyone told us this, the one who were concerned over what they would end up charging us for what.

Welp thats that.

Then there won't be any chance of BioArts obtaining any more of my money.

Thank you very much for the clarification and especially the specificity! It is refreshing.

This, a thousand times. I love the game and I'm happy to subscribe to get full access to be able to switch freely between my many alts. But discouraging me from paying monthly by removing the best reason to subscribe (paying for content via the cartel coins rather than "real" cash) seems self-defeating. If I don't give hang about PvP or end game but most definitely want to continue my story why the heck would I keep subscribing? I'm sad to say that I may not.

LOL! I've been trying to make that happen for a year now.

Exactly, barring a few legacy unlocks I was sitting on mine for the "expansion".

So, you're saying the same people who are threatening to unsubscribe now are the same people who were threatening to unsubscribe a week ago, a month ago, and three months ago? And that somehow all of those people have remained subscribed yet keep repeating their threat to unsubscribe? Rightrightright. The Us vs. Them mentality. Where you lump everyone who disagrees with you into one singular entity rather than as a series of individuals who collectively came to similar conclusions. Makes sense. It's a totally logical way of thinking.
