Some people just know themselves well enough to know that they'll want to keep playing the game anyway and would kick themselves later if their friends are in early without them.

So I guess 10% bought the pig-in-a-poke.

The rest are intelligently waiting for those "more details to come" before committing.
So, we who already pre-ordered are stupid?

Okay, get this. Here's how I reasoned it out. It's a digital expansion that will include at the very least a new world, 5 more levels, some new FPs/OPs and a new PvP warzone. Because there is a new planet that means there will also likely be a set of new Heroics. Because there are new Heroics, FPs/Ops there will also likely be new gear.

New Gear, New Heroics, New FPs/OPs, New Warzone and 5 additional levels worth of content. IMO, all of that is well worth the $9.99 price tag. If there are any other goodies that will be icing on the cake.

Now who are the intelligent ones?

Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

Well after seeing the number of people queue up to get their hands early on iphone, I say your faith in human is somewhat miss the mark.

Lol! pig-in-a-poke.

Well, my guildies and I are in the 10% then. Although... we are not entirely ignorant. We went ahead and purchased it because we know we are going to play it. The opportunity cost (less than the cost of a movie) is well worth it.

That being said, most of my guildies never frequent the forums and thus ignorance is bliss.

High-lighted the key word, at least you agree that the stuff is "likely", but not probable. Sorta my thoughts on the issue.

sorry, I'm ignorant sometimes too, but "opportunity cost"? don't understand that. Does that refer to the opportunity to get early access? or what?

If I wait all I lose is the five days early access(or 5 days to finish the content early, depends on POV).

Hmm... opportunity cost, an economics term. In this case, what other opportunities would you give up to spend the 10 dollars and purchase it now ie: you could go to the movies... get a burger... put gas in your car... etc. It really has nothing to do with the preview aspect at all.

For you it would seem the cost is too high; you would rather go to the movies, get a burger etc. etc. For many of us, the missed opportunity is of little or no consequence because we will be playing the pack regardless.
