Are we seriously supposed to preorder with this little info?

well.. I'm fairly sure I'll be buying it anyways. I want more story time with my favorites, even if its just planetary story. I'm also sure i'll be buying it long before it may or may not go on sale, ala digital pack (which btw cost as much at launch, but offered far less content.. if you can even call it content). might as well preorder and play early.

In my case the price has nothing to do with my decision not to pre-order it. I don't have any level 50's so I have no need for early access. No point spending money on something I can't use yet.

salmonella and three days old salad?


apart from this...

I really don't get why this topic was needed considering we have like 10 already.
that being said, I personally also don't understand why people can't just accept that the 5 days early access is just a little gem for exactly that: buying blindly. it is the POINT of the early access. the early access is more or less a gift for those of us who (still) have enough trust in bioware to present content that is worth the 10 dollar/8 euro/4 pound....
maybe comparably to 'early birds' tickets for festivals when not a single artist has been announced, yet. (only that in that case the tickets are cheaper, but there's always the lingering risk that you'll end up hating 99% of the bands and then it doesn't make much of a difference if you paid 100€ instead of 120€ because it's still money completely wasted)

anyway.
I figured the content will be 'good enough' and even if I get bored by every single quest added, don't end up liking possibly added flashpoints (I'm personally still hoping against hope that we'll finally get a hardmode version of cademimu)... I'll just level doing the stuff that is already in-game because i'm still having massive fun in warzones and with the pve progession spiral.

No one is required to do anything they don't want to do. That's it. Nothing more. Personally, I am going to wait until it can be bought on the CM. Yes, I am aware that they said they wouldn't offer it on the CM, but I don't believe them. They have given countless reasons for this lack of faith. I give it less than a month before it hits the CM.

Preordered it and not up in arms over the fact it's now monetized but it is a bit weaksauce nothing we haven't known about makeb for the last 6 months got revealed with the announcement or by the time preorder window is up.

I don't know who they're having handle their PR but they seriously need to have a word with him.

I pre ordered it. For me it IS worth that 8 euro... if it is not worth it for you, just don't then.

I don't think it ever will be, as that is less cash.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Its 5 levels and a new planet. If you don't think that 5 days early access to this is worthwhile then don't pre-order. I am satisfied that $10 is worth it just for 5 levels and a new planet so I have pre-ordered.

And that in itself is the difference. It's not about the money but the uncertainty of what you are getting for that money. I'd like to know exactly, EXACTLY what I am paying for. I don't care about stupid SGR with make believe computer generated characters. Nor do I care about OGR in a game. A new planet that is about the size of Tattooine or Hoth. Five more levels. And what else? If thats all there is? then its not worth $10 just for that. How about 3,000 Cartel Coins as a Thank you? Then, it might be worth it.

This, been thinking lately and i decided to finally abandon this game. In the last year they got from each of us 180$ in subs. Thats enough cash to buy 3 games, each of those games would take years of development. What they provided for it is laughable at best. My sub runs out in few days and it will be the end for me.
