I'm feeling Nickel and Dimed by Makeb

My household has 4 paid accounts. We have all played since the game went live, and after a year I can say that all of us think that paying for this upcoming "update" (lets be honest its not a Expansion) is a insult to people that kept paying a monthly fee. I do not mind paying a monthly fee for 4 accounts. We enjoy playing togather and have fun, but come on now I will have to pay everytime Bioware decides to dribble out more content?
It feels like being spit on and being told its good for me. I think if as a subscriber if I need to pay for more content in small amounts its time to find another game for the family to play.

I totally agree that this just isn't right. Its what subscribers pay for. Calling it an expansion doesn't make it one.

What if they took the original makeb "data", added new areas, added level increases, added a FP/WZ/OP and some other misc things. What if the new Makeb doesn't even look like the original leaked data (save the map design, ect).

Got any evidence they did any of those things? If not why say it?

Do other games really give out expansions for free? That's not what I'd expect. My assumption was that I was playing a subscription to log onto the servers and play the existing game, not everything they ever add to it forever. That seems like a financially untenable idea, especially considering the amount of story and voice acting it will contain if it's anything like existing planets. If people want new story, which most do, they're going to have to pay for it's creation.

First of all, I am not angry because of 10 bucks. As i said many times before, its like two package of cigarettes or one lunch for me.

BUT, i have questions:

1) Why the hell i cant buy it by CARTEL COINS? Cause it would be technically free for subs, saving complimentary coins? A little insulting to loyal customers, i think.

2) Some people using TIMECARDS, because they dont have credit cards, or they simply dont want internet banking. Why i can't pay something there by days from timecards, what is technically SAME pack of money?

3) I cant buy PHYSICAL expansion. I know, 1 planet and 5 lvls isnt much worth to do physical packages for real shops, but its better than push people to only one way to give you money.

IMO best thing you can do, Bioware people, is allowing people to buy this 'expansion' by your precious super nice new Cartel Coins. after whole circus about F2P and cartel coins.

1. They don't want people using CC because that is for digital items wheras if they make it cash only they can directly get the money. In other words, they don't lose anything when people buy from cartel market but they do lose a direct $10 if people use their complimentary coins on it. Kind of hard to explain but I hope you get it from their side even if it seems like a rip.

This is a ridiculous answer. Thats like getting a giftcard to best buy and going to get a game only to get the the register and they tell you you cant use your gift card on said game. No one does this...not one single company in the entire world. Cartel coins are a MONETARY item, you pay RL money for those coins - to not honor them as real life money (as they are not with this xpac) is completely unethical imo. Also considering every other cash shop MMO in existence allows people to buy xpacs with their games cash means that SWTOR is completely outside the normal for this and it makes them look even worse.
