My problem is not with the price, nor is it with the sniping and griping.

My problem is Bioware's serial, consistent and ongoing inability to deliver what they promised and their tendency to say one thing and then do half of that, which is why I went F2P.

For a level cap increase and additional storyline, $10 is not too much.
Pre-ordering at this time based on the information we have is not unreasonable.

However, those of you who are saying it will be amazingly mindblowing and hyping it are making the situation worse. We already saw what hype did to this game. Let's not repeat it.

Also, still waiting on Ilum PVP, Special Space Project, Guild Ships, Guild Calendar, etc etc etc.

I would just like to point out, some people are already working 2 jobs, and $10 might not be something they take lightly. Not everyone can go out and buy another company or invent a new product to make as much money as they want. Not really that related to the point of this thread, but I don't like to just let it go when people make a comment like people who don't have as much money as they want are just lazy.

(maybe you weren't implying that, but that's what I heard from what you wrote)

On the money I spend, I know EXACTLY what is under the tree. It's the gifts for other people. The gifts I don't know what they are were bought for me by SOMEONE ELSE with their own money; not my money.

You really need more intelligent analogies.

We have three days left to meet the deadline and the only things we know about what we are purchasing is that it has 5 more levels and a new planet. I believe there will be more to it than that, hopefully new Ops, FPs, and WZs, but for all we know there won't be.

How can you expect us to fork out money on such an unknown quantity?
because there is probably as much 9.99 sitting in your couch atm?

IF I do want to pre-order, it will be a few weeks before launch, regardless of how much info they give out.

But I'm just curious why they don't want to throw in some pre-order bonus in order to entice people to pre-order. This is pretty much standard stuff and I'm baffled why they skipped on this.

Simple stuff, but if you want to find more info look around at t TORhead. I heard there have been a few leaks as to the new raid, flashpoint(?), PvP, etc.
TorHead hasn't been updated since 1.5, so good luck looking for relevant info there.

DarthHater or Dulfy.net would be better

Here is a reason... new levels, new abilities, and more stats... it makes everything else easier. If you want to be in the end game it is a must.

So we can pre order the pre - order bonus separately.
