*** we have to PAY for legacy storage?!?

The vanilla release of SWTOR it cost a small fortune to expand the personal and bank inventory slots of a character.
There was no option to pay for it by CC or to buy the unlocks from the GTN. It was a per character cost with no account wide unlocks either. I hate to think how many credits I spent on my characters before the Cartel Market hit.

Account wide personal inventory and bank tab unlocks are one of the most worthwhile purchases I ever made and I have no ill will towards BW/EA for making that option available (in fact they went above and beyond by making them a freely tradable item, I purchased most of mine on the GTN)

I wouldn't expect a feature as requested as Legacy storage to come as a free addition.

And thus smart crafters can make a killing on the market. I put about 10-15 minutes of effort into crafting per day, and it fully funds gearing my characters and keeps me rolling in cash. With added boosts when new things like this come out, I can use the excess to buy up all the new content.

I expect I'll have all of the properties unlocked with boatloads of decorations by the end of the first month, and I don't even particularly care for housing. I just won't have anything else to spend the money on.

Damn the defenders are quick to respond.

" You can craft it! You have to complete Nightmare DP and DF six times to get the mats for it!!! Or you can pay 5m per mat on the GTN for it! Stop whining!! No ones forcing you to buy it off the CM!!"

Exactly. You have to pay for features to your ship (and well worth it), so I can't imagine why you wouldn't expect to pay for them in your home. If you couldn't acquire it in game, that would be a problem, but a cartel option for the lazy is not a problem, lol

You make it sound like 5mil is a lot or something.

That's the scenario that I'm worried about based on our experiences (that so many seem to forget so quickly) with the G7 ship components.

I expect a crafting implementation that heavily incentivises the use of cartel coins instead, and I expect the cartel coin cost to be 1,800-2,400 coins or probably more.

Nonsense, you can make 3 to 4 hundred thousand a day just doing dallies without even putting much effort or time into it, so in a week to ten days it would be nothing to acquire the money. Or you can craft it. The important question is why do so many expect to get things for free with no gameplay involved. This is basically saying that it's an unfair hardship to be expected to play the game and things should be just handed to you.
