BioWare knows that people will be paying CC instead of 1mil credits.

But then, Bioware desperately needs money. So please Bioware, get those armorings, crafting materials, etc up on Cartel Market please. That will please a lot of people who doesn't want to grind
I can see part of it, I would personally make this companion free or at least massively discounted (maybe 150K credits) to those with legacy level 40 while keeping the million credit cost for those not at level 40 legacy.

But I'm still not seeing the pay to win aspect of it

Why? Because quite a few folks were complaining about the amount of items that were making their way to the CM instead of general release in the game, and this is a general release item.

Not only that, it's not simply a recolor of armor or speeder...it's actually an item that has some value and will not be easy to get for every toon you have (not as simple as paying cash and clicking a button).

That means it is a real addition. And it is not collectable, not an item you can simply shortcut buy with CC...good things I think.

The choice of Ewok might be odd to some...and I agree it was a bit disappointing (would have liked a Jawa) but I think it has appeal to a good amount of folks.

I think personally this is a win win. It needs to remain a credit purchase item only IMO.
If they added a jawa they would get the same crap they get for re-skinning speeders.

e.g "why just give me blizz again on my bounty hunter omg bw so lazy" etc,

Good luck. Keep doing it. Why not put those armorings, crafting materials, mods, etc on the Cartel Market! Let's make a petition! Woot
its not. being pay to win, would mean that treek was ONLY available thru the CM. you have the option to get her thru credits/legacy level (i know i will), if YOU choose to get her thru the CM then that is your choose.

Isn't there enough grinding in the game already? Don't you have to grind to get 1 mill credits?

It's a new (frankly pointless) companion, something you don't have to have like armor and such. It's not "pay to win" to obtain the companion,.its an extra thing for fluff that again....you don't need. So what exactly is your problem?

I wont be getting her because I am NOT paying 1 mill credits...for anything. Takes me too long to get that much credits for me. I need all my credits for crew skills. Not pointless end game companions that will just be one large pain in the butt to get maxed out affection on like HK is. I really don't understand adding end game companions when getting them affection is pretty much impossible.

You made it sound like having legacy level 40 is some kind of big deal ,the game has been out for ~1,5 years already and i've been sitting at legacy lv 50 since April 2012. It's very easy to get legacy lv 40 ...

can you confirm wether or not you still have to have the required legacy to use it if you buy it with CC. I really hope you still have to have legacy 40. I was hoping it would be credits only but I understand why you added the CC option.

I can easily get 1 million in one hour. do quests, do dailies, and you will get your 1 million in an hour or two. Not a big deal.
