I'm feeling Nickel and Dimed by Makeb

one point to make. this is a Free to Play game. So being that it is free 2 play, the expansion should be free 2 play. Just fits the marketing scheme. Now this is some hybrid payment thing.

I do pay, i sub and have spent over 100$ in cartel store. so ya I pay, and i am not complaining about paying for expansion. I am just pointing out by biowares own admission this is a free 2 play game. Now it is not.

As long as the expansion doesn't change the entire game's mechnics like in SWG, I'll be relieved.
If more major expansions will be avilable in the future after this this one with at least 1 - 3 new explorable worlds and none of them are original, I'll be happy.
If more features will be revealed apart from the current 3 for ROTHC, I'll be excited.

Who said I was defending EA. Please read the whole post. I never said it was worth the $10. I said quit complaining about something that you dont know all the details about. Yes, its stupid of EA/Bioware to not release all the details but, its just as stupid to complain about something when you dont know all the details. Im simply saying, wait and see.

Of course its nickle and diming.

And expect much more of it in the future. All "deals" are off, top execs now run SWTOR. And that only means one thing: MOAR

where are u buying beer lol, my local costs 1.69 a pint but if you actualy had read the topic you would realise this isnt about the fiver.

A fully fledged SWTOR expansion for 40 bucks if in-line with most other MMO's expansions would include:

5-6 Full Planets
Continuation of story quests including new companions
1 New Op at start with at least 2 free ones to come in patches
1 - 2 new WZ's
5-6 new Flashpoints
5-10 more levels
New Class or a New Race
A bunch of minor fluff stuff.

This would be bare minimum for an "official" Fully fledged xpac for SWTOR imo.

Yup, thats what in MMO terms is called an expansion, and thats what people are willing to shell out 40 bucks for on top of sub.

Lower the number of planets by a couple; and instead of bare minimum call it industry standard, and you're spot on

Your going with a WoW expansion there, thats not idustry standard at all, very few put out that much content let alone charge 40 for a expansion.
there are like two MMO that i have ever seen do somethign that big and that WoW and Rift.
Which also brings up the arguement that has been said time and time again, that it may still have more coming, when storm legion was announced for rift, it said it had one continent and a few souls now look what it has i mean its HUGE, and they didnt give those details up til later, And on Price also, compare what Rift does it released the Expac for 40 bucks for current players and 60 for new players, atleast swtor isnt screwing us over that bad on that stand point,
so patience is key here. If you want better expansions support this one and we could be seeing better epansions in the future. because right now you dont know what its going to be like and nether you the rest of us. We have to wait and hope its good.

I do agree tho in the future if this pack succeeds which we all know it has to if we ever want another pack at all, i want a boxed one with alot of content but who knows maybe we will.
