Why? Players with less money would be able to afford things they've desired that were out of reach before.
No, that's not what I meant. The guy I quoted assumed the only impact with the cost of 2.9 would be a slight slow down on the GTN. I don't care about the GTN at all, I care about the guilds being gated from the guild content in 2.9. Those players will have less devotion to SWTOR because their subs aren't buying them the same content others are.

Well that or they'll have less attachment to the guild they're in and seek one that does have said content (if it's really that important to them).

You believe that's a good thing for this game?

Good thing most don't share your entitlement mentality.

I believe if the guild you're in isn't helping you get what you want out of the game, you should find the guild that does.

"Entitlement?" lol!!! Not even close. It's just the opposite. I'm not selfish and shortsighted enough to see this as a good thing for the game. MMOs depend on new players...

My guild is amazing. They're entirely why I play...and we'll have our ship day 1. It's the hundreds of other guilds that won't that I worry about. Those players are the guys who fill PuG runs, fill WZ queues, fill GSF queues, join GF...we need them as much as we need the mega guilds.

All this will do is encourage them to either band together and accomplish something big as a team (perhaps discover within themselves that which you found in your guild) or join a guild that already has such features.

I don't really think this is going to be a feature that will negatively impact new players. Honestly in terms of time spent (considering time = effort in these games) it's not any more daunting than getting to 55 from level 1. Actually probably significantly less if they've already achieved that goal.

You are crying because you think players will be upset that you don't get a guild ship just because they sub. You think players feel they are "entitled" to a guild ship just because they sub. Yeah so it's very close and actually spot on to entitlement mentality and like I said luckily most don't share your destructive thought process.

When in reality (which you clearly are not up to speed on) these new player that join after 2.9 and join a guild will not be required to put anything towards the guild ship. Most guilds will now include that in their guild recruitment plug.

No. All this does, in reality, is diminish what they have access to as far as content vs. what we do.

First off, I'm not crying, I'm stating my opinion. Learn the difference. If you can't handle debate, stay away from the forums.

And yeah, luckily the vocal minority here don't give 2 ***** about anyone but themselves. That's a great thing to be proud of.
