Encrypted Data Cube-credit boom

OIC. Actually, let me be more precise for you:

1) there is lore that is contained in the actual integral progression elements of the game (class story, planet mission, etc)

2) there is lore that is contained in disintegral, standalone, not required in any way to progress in the game (ie: the data-cubes)

Item 1 is NOT FLUFF because it adds both real and meaningful game progression + lore elements.
Item 2 is FLUFF because the only thing it adds for the player is some lore.

Please Note: The lore aspects of both 1 and 2 are irrelevant to the topic really. Lore is relevant to some players and not to others. This is the nature of a broad playerbase.

Hopefully that clears up the confusion for you.

Since you have to get past the capital planet in order to obtain a ship, how "quickly" did this work?

Literally the only possible thing I can think of is somehow teleporting after the starter planet, which by itself takes an hour and a half.

You can do some dailies during the same time period and earn just as much money, so I really question how quickly it could actually be exploited.

Your post doesn't really explain anything at all, especially for level 55s who have no need of a major experience boost.

So let me get this straight
progression missions = lore
not progression missions = lore but fluffy lore?

i am sorry if did not understand this Properly(since english is not my first language), but are you even insuniating that we who are supposed to be "overreacting" are lunatics? do you KNOW the meaning of that world to dare and compare to this so called forum "behavior"? is that supposed to be a stealth insult andryah?

This is probably why you and I are having difficulty discussing the topic.

I did not say lunatic, I said lunacy. There is a difference.

Lunacy: as in and pertaining to the influences of emotion and passion by the Moon. The Moon and Lunacy share the same language roots in linguistic history.

By lunacy I mean exactly the traditional meaning, not the clinical meaning -------> emotion and passion that is in disproportion to the context.

Is that clear... or do I need to be more precise to avoid miscommunications and appearance of insult where none is present?

If they put a pretzel in the cartel packs.. people would over-react and declare that they are taking over real life super markets.

I tip my hat to you for correctly characterizing the forum behavior as "overreaction".

Forum hyperbole and overreaction is what I am most likely to engage in discussion in the forums here. I guess I have a soft spot for trying to assist in treating lunacy. And it's like a predictable tide in the forum. It ebbs and flows. A few weeks ago it was Dyes. Currently it's "OMG they putting story in the CM nao!!" Next week it will probably be "OMG they putting pink bunny slippers in the CM! It should be a world drop! oh nooz!!!"

"Lore is relevant to some players and not to others." And current state of cubes pisses off players that plays this game for story.

I am one of the people who have no problems with pink bunny slippers being on CM, as those are used to make you look... well, I guess someone might find them cool.
But still, I maintain my conviction that story, no matter how insignificant and disconnected, should not be part of CM, and definitely not random drop from packs.

I finally caved today and bought the cubes from GTN as a modest sum of 500k credits for all 4, and I find the story to be... interesting, and definitely not meaningless as some might suggest. However, I am judging before setting my greedy Sith paws on Imperial Makeb, so I might be wrong
