Worst P2W I've seen.

I dont know, I get the feeling that BW are trying to show that is not necessarily the case, hence the addition of two new reputations offer gear in 2.3 and a new one being added in 2.4. Plus the fact that the Tauntaun mount is so-far available only via in-game purchase (With to different ways to get it in fact) and as a quest reward in 2.4.

As long as they keep adding items via in-game options as well, then I personally dont care how much cosmetic fluff they sell on the CM. It is helping to keep the game afloat anyway!

I dunno, I think I could manage 'vexed' if I tried?

Pay 2 win eh?

May you never, ever go and play a bigpoint game.

You can buy cartel coins with real money, purchase items with those cartel coins and sell them for credits using the GTN.

With those credits, you can instantly purchase level 69/72 mods, armorings and enhancements, barrels, you can fully augment your gear, you can buy underworld implants, earpieces, relics....all without doing a single hard mode raid. And this 69/72 gear is required to do hard mode level 55 raids, and full 72 to do nightmare raids. With full 72 you can easily do all the PvE solo content.

Technically, some people are actually paying real money to buy gear, but then again, it's only PvE content. If it was PVP stuff that you could buy gear from and have an advantage over other players in PvP, then yeah that would be pay to win.
Then again, you could argue that if you have a new character and you want to gear it up, you may be excluded from a raid team because you are not geared enough, and someone who has bought all their gear off the GTN will take your spot, which would be annoying for you.

So actually, its more of a "Pay to Fastrack", because people have the ability to pay real money and earn millions of credits and be ahead of people in terms of PvE, all of these items can be aquired through playing the game.

What about if you fully augment your PvP gear with the 1 billion credits you have? You'd have an advantage over other players because they may not be able to afford augmenting it.

even if everyone accepted that this is p2w (rather than being debatable), if this is the worst you've seen, i think you'll find yourself sorely disappointed if you move on to other games.

The ability to buy mods for credits has always been there, and there have always been players with more credits than they'll ever need.

The CM does not allow you to do anything you cant do via regular game mechanics.

There are many ways to earn credits in the game, and you can pay cash to subscribe. Obviously saying that paying money to allow you to sell items on the GTN and get the mods you need is P2W is a very VERY severe stretch at best.

It's a pretty ludicrous way to try and shoehorn a regular in game activity into a P2W definition.

The good thing about EvE Online is that there is a drop/loot chance of items that the tanked player has equipped, making PvP a more thought out action!

I can craft every augment and have more than ample materials. I also have roughly 38m credits which can buy me pretty much whatever I would want. I already have all the 31 mods I want or could pay for (if I wasn't already getting them through PVE). Exactly what advantage do they have over me? And what have they won?
