Well... look on the bright side. Makeb is still cheaper (for subscribers) than the suits they sell on the Cartel Market.

Note: I'm not complaining about the cost of Cartel armor, here... if they were to offer a suit I really liked, I'd buy it.

They pretty much spent all that time getting SWG threads locked. Serious not being snarky or angry about it. same thing when Wow fans made a suggestion back in those forums, they got told to go back to Wow and **** off the TOR forums.

Most of the suggestions got flamed so bad they got removed.

Yes since October 2008 I think, I signed up on the day the forums went live maybe the second day.. The forums were around a long time, maybe a bit to long before the game launched..
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Expectations lead to suffering

Forums opened in Oct of 2008

And yes hes been here that long, as have I, and a number of others

Though to be honest those numbers are dwindling fast.
In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions
In GAMING, as in LIFE,
You get what you pay for
No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

Can I have a link to a direct quote from the developers stating that specifically Makeb will be a free update? I hear that a lot on the forums but it tends to be a stretch from what the developers actually said.

They whined about how Collector's Edition Vendor was incredibly unfair. Oh it was such a big deal then xD. Now no one gives a c**p any more.

Only because nothing has been added to that vendor. Yet another lie we were sold.

Well point is they NEVER said MAKEB would be free. Makeb was only mentioned in upcoming content promos. Later BW started saying how they are still thinking about it and are unsure whether it will be free or not.
Now ofc I could agree that Makeb doesn't seem big enough to be called an Expansion and therefore should just be a simple content patch, but I NEVER heard BW saying that Makeb would be free in any trailers or interviews that I watched.
