Talon_strikes Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) IMO the in-game economy is a mess. I think paying 30+ mil for anything is ridiculous. I don't have patience for that. I decided to create this thread to see what items you guys would like for direct sale that you currently don't have.

I even paid robber's fees on the GTN for the Satele Shan armour. (40 million for the chest, 35 million for the legs - or it might have been the boots, don't remember - about a million each for the other parts.) So, I don't have patience for that.

I'd just rather actually play the game than, let's say, stare at the GTN all day long and risk losing the few credits I do make. Then play the effing game, and earn (evil word, I know) those credits. Get in a group with guildies and do H2s - you'll get millions easily(1). Staring at the GTN doesn't make any credits, so it won't help you get the items. Or spend those CCs on items that will sell for credits on the GTN. Unopened hypercrates or supercrates or packs, various kinds of unlocks and boosters, that sort of thing. Then use those credits to buy the thing you want. (1) Not *instantly*, but definitely easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josephxp Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I would like to see some of the stronghold defenders weapons, they are almost never on the GTN and the rep vendor item will not unlock in you collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lost_Bean Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Vented Lightsaber would be nice, but it would just get a ridiculous price tag like the Unstable lightsaber had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleurdelis Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I would like the music therapy probe again as I missed it the first time they offered it for direct sale and the prices on the GTN are astronomical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Snowflake Syndrome at its finest. And hell NO to that. Cartel items are completely different from high-end PvP (and PvE) rewards. They should NEVER go up for direct sale. All I do in this game is PvP and that would be a slap in the face to the few competitive PvP'ers that are left in this game. Pretty much, IMO. You couldn't be any more wrong.

"And I'm willing to pay a premium price so that BW can continue to profit " thread. Direct Sale items have been requested by many subscribers who are tired of the disappointment of buying packs and hypercrates. Recent CM items have shown that BW is interested in exploring these options. Edited March 20, 2017 by JediRelentless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon_strikes Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 "And I'm willing to pay a premium price so that BW can continue to profit " thread. And how in the world does the way I spend my money or any other customer spend theirs on what we want to affect you? BTW, I am modestly comfortable getting referral clicks and CC from my security key and sub so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't need to buy any CC from BW for any direct sale that I am interested in. When the Arbiter's Lightsaber hit direct sale I couldn't afford it, but even if I could I most likely wouldn't have bought it. There's much better CM items out there IMO for me to save up for and purchase with complimentary CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been on direct sale *TWICE*, but was originally a pack-drop item. (I think it was one of the first direct-sale pack-drop *gear* items.)

Xina_LA Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Here's my wish-list for direct purchase items. I would pay money for these: * Cartel Certificates * Packs of reputation items * Statue of Eternal Grace decoration * Contraband Slot Machine * Slot Machine: Kingpin's Mark * Art: Nerfs decoration * Makeb Gazebo decoration * Galactic Alliance Statue * Nautolan Pyrotechnics Expert * An Akk Dog companion * Satele Shan's armor set If we're talking about anything we'd like to see added: * A set of tattoos that can apply to human characters * A set of new Miraluka mask options * A set of new Twi'lek skin color options * A set of new stronghold decoration NPCs * A set of utility items for a stronghold (IE: training dummy, mission terminal, guild MOD display) * A set of new stronghold labels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I do in this game is PvP and that would be a slap in the face to the few competitive PvP'ers that are left in this game. You couldn't be any more wrong. Items from rare vendors should NEVER be thrown to direct sale. It's a slap to the face of people who were subbed and getting the rep WHEN THE PACK ACTUALLY CAME OUT. Just because self-entitled ^Johnny-come-lately creates another WAH~ I want Now thread doesn't mean you can reasonably expect veteran players to cave in so you can get old rare rep vendor stuff (stronghold weapons, hoverchairs, CE vendor stuff/old rep! (WTH), etc.) and on the cheap, too, at that. Next, you'll be trying to get your grubby hands on the pre-order crystal... again!! Putting ALL the cream of the crop items for direct sale like Defiant Vented Lightsaber is also wrong as you discourage whales from buying many hypercrates when ^Johnny-come-latelies can just WAH about it and get it later for a fraction of what the whales shelled out for it on average. A few things NO I wouldn't put on direct sale ever, including hoverchairs, as old packs are brought back and people can keep getting them that way, instead of the ^Original Post with his self-entitled hand out expecting to get everything on the cheap because he is too lazy to go out & feels he's a special exception to everything to actually "EARN" (<*gasp, forbidden word) it like everyone else. I can compromise on some things (with the absolute limit being Sith Recluse set, lightsaber pikes - MAYBE~) but the most coveted stuff (Defiant Vented weapons, Revan Holostatue, Malgus/Satele holostatues, Imperator's Hoverchair, Stronghold/ ALL Rep Vendor stuff, and the like) >> ABSOLUTELY [[[NO]]]. You got the Unstable Lightsaber, Lightning Weapon Tuning, Music Therapy Droid - talk about RIDICULOUSLY spoiled and entitled fast^ (to the self-entitled WAH'ers who support this thread^).

JediRelentless Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Interstellar Regulator’s Blaster Dorn. I'm sure I'll think of more. Some of these items I only own on one account. @Devs I think the Direct Sale Combo Bundle is a very good idea. Please continue to offer us more of them. A specific armor set, 2 specific weapons and a specific mount from a previous pack sounds real good. Or 1 specific weapon, 2 specific armor sets and a specific color crystal bundled as a single item.

Xina_LA Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 In my experience, people who have to resort to insults and name-calling never have a well-reasoned, intelligent opinion worth reading. I'm very glad that most of the contributors to this thread have good and useful comments to add to the conversation. Please excuse me while I log in and buy a direct market Companion that I didn't get out of a pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
