Are we seriously supposed to preorder with this little info?

I was very supportive until receiving fabricated "infractions" from their moderators who seem to be seeking revenge against certain posters, have experienced game breaking bugs and had tickets closed without response, seen them failing to address game issues that have been around for over a year while directing their efforts to the current money grab.....and now pushing a product once promised as free, and doing so while not revealing any information about said product.

They've managed to bring underhanded business practices to a whole new level. Unfortunately I do enjoy the game that was put out by the original development team and plan to stick around a month or two as I want to enjoy all the story lines to fifty....but I'll not be buying the expansion or anything else moving forward and will be moving back to Wow after that.

The best thing that could happen to this game is to fold up and close the doors as its fallen into the hands of less then honorable management only interested in moving a product, hitting quotas, and not producing a quality product over the long term.

Most unfortunate.

Me too, and I will be again, but not if they are going to sell me a lunch while not telling me what's in it. Further, if its so little, I would ask all of those that believe it to be "nothing", to send me ten bucks. I'll promise you anything you like. ;p

Depends on how many coins they charge for it. They could even charge 20 bucks worth of coins for it and I'll bet people will still buy it. Lucky for me I will have that many CC for free bey the time they do release it on the CM.

Might be. But think about it. 8€/10$ for something that "should" be free. Not that much. For example all the new FPS games. BF3 50€ for something that should be free. Same goes for cod mw2, BO,MW3 and BO2.

Few years and bug fixes fill cost money.

Would you buy that energy drink if you had no idea what was in it, and from a guy known for peddling drinks that tend to put people in the bathroom for hours upon end?

That is the issue, not the 10 bucks. I'm rather well off, but I did not get that way being suckered by snake oil salesmen that offer you something, not sure what it is, but something. LOL

Just stop with the "we don't know anything about Makeb" stuff. First of all, Bioware is not telling you that you HAVE to pre-order the expansion. They're saying that if you pre-order by the 7th, you'll get 5 days of early access. If you don't pre-order by the 7th, you pay $10 if you're a subber, and $20 if you're not a subber. As far as information:

We know right now the level cap is increasing to 55.
We know right now that we will be getting one new active ability, 5 talent points, and and changes to the talent trees of each class.
We know there will be new dailies.
We know there will be new heroics.
We know the individual class stories will not continue, but instead Makeb will center around 2 faction specific stories.
We know the story surrounding Makeb.
We know the gear we'll be getting will not make our current gear obsolete.
We know Makeb is at least the same size as Belsavis.

Now if you want MORE information than we have that's fine, but to post that we don't know ANYTHING about the expansion can't be more false.

Yes, you have to pre-order now. It's not optional. EVERYONE, or they'll send pipe-hitting EA thugs to your house in the middle of the night.

Yes, you have to seriously wonder about people that whine about things that are 100% optional. And there seems to be a neverending supply of these types of people.

So glad that you don't live in the central/eastern european country where an average hourly wage is little over 2 euro.

Haha exactly.

As opposed to people that feel the need to complain about others posting information regarding a game concern and do so with little understanding of more then a self perpetuated facade?

Think deeper and try to understand the issue at hand. ;p
