Will pazaak/swoopracing/minigames cost us an additional 10 bucks? Will open world pvp cost us more money? Will guild ships and guild content cost us 10 bucks? I think a lot of people see this as EA opening pandora's box.
Hit the nail on the head there, you did.

I think this is the big fear for a lot of subscribers, and the reason there's so much rage at the moment. I pre-ordered, but now I'm thinking that it had better be worth if or I walk away. I don't expect expansions for free, but I do expect updates and patches to be covered by my sub fee.

If Makeb turns out to be a glorified patch, then I think we can all conlcude where this game is heading.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it, if I had already reached max levels on any of the 8 classes. I haven't. As a result, the addition to F2P players is great. Then you reach Alderaan and beyond. At this point finding groups for the various Heroic quests is a royal pain in the neck. There's no way I'm going to spend money on content that the majority of community won't buy, and get stuck hoping I can finish any of it. Let alone 7 more times.

I pre-ordered the expansion as soon as it came out and was excited about it.

I thought about waiting until it became available in the Cartel Market, but then on the FAQs it said, it wouldn't if you want to pre-order it and get the early access. Also even if it came out in the Cartel Market for $20 worth of coins for both subscriber and non-subscriber, I though that I can't wait for 4-5 months to play an expansion that will come out in 3 months since I have used most of my Cartel Coins already.

I can't wait to play the expansion =)

I don't doubt that we will. But will we have to pay for them - that's the question I'm asking. In fact - with Makeb - are we already being asked to pay for one?

Look at the terms it's being described in: 'Digital Expansion'. That's just another way of saying 'content patch'. makes me uneasy, to say the least.

Only time will tell.
