Boo.

Seriously, would it have killed you to put something in the game you can't bypass with cash.

When do I get to buy level 55 alts with Cartel Coins? After all, it's just speeding up the process.

Ignore those complainers, Eric. People will always compain for something. Instead of being grateful they have an option to get this without spending cartel coins they choose to be whiny little girls.

Thanks for the verification!

So now players will no longer have to grind and play the game... Heh.. game ruined. Sigh, sad to see a big developer like Bioware getting desperate and going to pay to win route.

Good luck. Keep doing it. Why not put those armorings, crafting materials, mods, etc on the Cartel Market! Let's make a petition! Woot
Explain how obtaining a companion through cartel coins is PAY TO WIN? Also how is it an advantage since its just another companion with abilities your other companions have. Pay to win is when you have an advantage over another player....this is not one....DERP DERP

No, it takes alot longer than 1 hr to get 1 mil from doing dailies sir. "Quests"...what quests? There is none at max lvl accept weeklies and dailies. I am not about to do all that work just for some pointless companion when I could use those hard earned credits for things I NEED such as crew skills/crafting.

Yes, because people posting their opinions and concerns makes them complainers and whiners to immature egomaniacs like yourself.

This companion does nothing that your other companions can't do and offers you no advantage over other players in PVE or crafting. All she does is adds some variety to your current pool of companions and is, in essence, a cosmetic addition. I understand the disappointment among some players, but calling it pay-to-win is simply a sensationalist exaggeration.

You just knew someone was going to use "slap in the face." Maybe I missed an earlier one.

I'll just pile on and say "This."

You really haven't the slightest idea what "Pay to Win" means, do you? This companion is purely cosmetic, 100% optional, and in know reasonable way can it be considered Pay to Win.

Ahh, ok, I get it now. You're just here to troll. How sad.

LOL... wow... is it really hard to comprehend? YOU ARE BUYING to bypass the legacy level... how is that NOT pay to win?

how am i trolling when I've spent hours and have 6 toons at level 55? heh

To those who really like the idea of buying the Ewok on the cartel market, don't blame us if you have not reached level 40 legacy. Is that our fault? Us long term players have been playing and it's something at least that we can say we earned for spending so much time on the game.

The whole point of playing a game is to earn things in-game right? Not buy them on the Cartel Market to make our life easier and bypass the legacy level.

This is no different than the encrypted data cubes that they implemented.. and guess what? they're removing it. Heh. If this will really happen, who knows what they'll do next? Introduce a story content that requires people to grind but wait... here's a pass to unlock it on the Cartel Market.

Do you exactly get my point now as to why people are complaining about this?

Also what are the use of the Legacy levels if we can just go to the easy route? I understand if you just played the game a few months ago... but seriously

I really hope you'll still need legacy level 40 if you pay with CC.. Besides some titles and achievements, you don't really get anything for having legacy level 30+ Also means that preferred can buy Treek with CC, which makes subscribers feel not so special. But I guess 2.1 didn't give Bioware enough money
