Ignorant? Nah, I just don't care about $10 that much. I pay more when I get lunch.

I'm a subscriber, but I haven't pre-ordered the expansion. Mainly because I don't have any characters anywhere near lvl 50 so I won't need it until then.

I'm a subscriber, but I didn't pre-order and currently have no intentions of buying it at all.
I quit the game a few months back because I had maxed my Sorc & BH, and I really wasn't interested in doing all the planets ALL OVER AGAIN. So, time to distance myself. I played other things, had a great time, then started thinking about the low level Agent I had and how much I really wanted to check out her story.

Playing her now and I'm loving it, but what I love about this game is the personal character story and the companion interactions. Makeb doesn't seem likely to hold anything that'll interest me, as they've said there won't be any character story in it, just planetary story. As for the rest? I don't care about levels (they're just something I have to get to progress story), don't care about warzones (have absolutely zero interest in this game's PvP), don't care about gear (as 99% of the gear in this game is atrociously ugly to me), don't care about operations (as all of my friends and my guild quit before even I did, and so I'm solo in this game).

That puts me in the 'currently subscribing but did not pre-order' group. With all the above said, I don't think anyone is stupid for pre-ordering or not pre-ordering. It's all down to individual preferences. Heck, if I could have purchased the DLC with all the Cartel Coins I have stored up (because I foolishly never canceled the game when I quit over 6 months ago), I probably WOULD have pre-ordered, as there's nothing in the store that interests me.

I don't have any characters close either, but I choose to pre-ordered anyway, just in case I make it by the time it comes out.

What knocks my faith in humanity is seeing people publicly expressing negative feelings about an inanimate object because they think it makes them look cool.

I coughed up the £5.99 for the expansion for reason other than I was amazed how cheap it is.

subscriber, didnt pre-order, have no intention of buying it at all at this point in time. (may change after it launches, who knows)

Im playing the wait and see game. But for now I have no intention of pre-ordering or buying for several reasons:

1) Dont like the direction this game is going

2) Getting bored of SWTOR (something I never thought possible 3 months ago)

3) Am insulted that I am expected to pay $9.99 for stuff I was originally supposed to be getting free. All the more so considering they gave the whole game away for free whereas I paid $60 + shipping to a red zone.

4) Lack of info on the final product, and absolutely no benefit to pre-ordering. 5 day EGA is meaningless nonsense considering by EAware's track record it will be totally broken and full of bugs at launch anyway.

4) Dont want to send a message of support to EAcrap that this kind of money grabbing is acceptable. (i am somewhat resolved to never pay for another game with an EA logo on it, but im still very reluctant to unsub because I still want to support this game)

Oh and I still havent finished all 8 class quests despite being here since EGA. In fact only my main char has completed the class quest.

On a side note, I can't wait till Early Access starts and all the crying and whining from Biodrones who pre-ordered, expecting to get a full 5 days early, but realise because they weren't the first to pre-order; they only get 2 days Early access.

Launch 2011 all over again is going to be epic lolz.

I've not ordered it. I'll probably buy it when it comes out, but I'm really not bothered about 5 days of early access and I'd like some more information first. Had there been new class stories, I'd have been all over it.

and there's no such thing as a "pre-order" either. I hate that term. You've either put in an order to buy something or you haven't.
