Subscription: Advertisement vs Truth

This.
The game is evolving and something that is true as of this moment won't be completely accurate once 2.1 is released so when that happens (and not before), they'll update the language.

That's why you often see the phrase "subject to change without notice" or "while supplies last" in disclaimers.
It keeps people from trying to play armchair lawyer on things like this.

Way to screw your playerbase over.

Forget you guys.

I am reminded of the scene in 1984...

Q: How do you spin a reduction in the chocolate ration from 30g to 25g?

A: You announce it as an increase in the chocolate ration from 20g to 25g.

They aren't screwing anyone over. Come on guys you are blowing it way out of proportion. Is this what gamers and the modern society has devolved into? A bunch of whiners who blow the tiniest thing out of proportion in a huge attempt at attention seeking?

Boo-hoo! Oh noes, Bioware/EA wants to make a profit on a product that they have to pay to create & maintain. The horrible people they are... come on, grow up. You don't like it? Don't play!

Depends on what the costs per slider. Here's the thing, micro-transactions are better for people using them on a smaller scale. I only plan on changing my toon's body type (I hate Body Type 3 clipping in this game) and hair-style. Everything else will stay the same, so I'm happy I'm not paying a higher cost for only using 2 of the features.

I haven't read anything on the color dyes, but if they're from packs, and if they're pretty common, you can expect to see them flooding the GTN for cheap prices.
Ignorance doesn't declare innocence. Besides, anyone who is looking at those trailers from before mentioning how they can play all the races would never have seen Cathar as a playable race, thus they shouldn't be misled to believe that Cathar would be free to play.

I'm curious as to what reminded you of that scene, since it is entirely irrelevant.

Language for sub features are relevant and accurate at present. Disclaimers always say subject to change. They are changing the language as the features change. Problem?

By contrast... I for the most part save my monthly allotment. I only spend on things that I cannot aquire off the GTN for reasonable price. Most often.. I spend to buy legacy speeder access for a new character or an unlock that is IMO too pricey in game (such as the last slot in a cargo bay, and even these.. I buy the unlock off the GTN most of the time). I have never purchased coins and I currently have almost 3000.

My point? The personal economics of cartel coins is personal. It in no way reflects any form of entitlement to have something free from Bioware just becasue of how one manages their cartel coins.

Wow people need to learn to think...
People are complaining that they are changing the wording to remove things from the game... WHAT?
They are changing the wording because they are adding ADDITIONAL things that you do not automatically get with a subscription.
It is no different than with RoTC and any expansion pack ever put out. You don't automatically get what is in that expansion pack just because you have a subscription.
In WoW did you gat access the blood elves, dranai, or Pandarin. NO you had to BUY the expansion pack to have ACCESS.

Wow... look, it's CosmicKat with the bad analogies.

Total # of playable races before 2.1 w/out add'l costs to play them: 9.
Total # of playable races on and after 2.1 w/out add'l costs to play them: 9.

That doesn't look like a reduction to me. So really, it's 30g to 30g, they just offered you the ability to get a 35mg version for a slightly higher cost (if you can't save up 600 coins from your sub stipend which means, it's basically free).

Do you work for SWTOR? If not, they should hire you...

I think you are splitting hairs, just to be argumentative.

It is in poor taste, to give subscribers and allotment of cartel currency that originally was intended for you to get more enjoyment of the game and later change the definition of said allotment to actually use the content of an expansion.

Its like me telling you I am giving yo a $10 allowance to go and have fun, and a month later I come to you and say, if you want to eat, use your allowance.

I know, there is nothing illegal in doing this, but it does not remove the lack of taste by doing so. Just because something is legal, it does not make it nice, nor mandatroy you should like either.

Oh and by the way, the coin allowance you get its not free, you did pay for them as part of the benefits associated with the subscription, its part of the package. If they are free, then anyone would get them regardless of subscription status; huge difference.
