Are androids and Iphones declared as "required" for playing this game?

But why should people that are "intelligent in terms of security" have to put up safeguards purposely designed for those that are not?

The is the train of reason that ends up with "warning: boiling water contained" stickers on kettles.

OP has a completely valid complaint. Most folks in here are arguing that the security key perks are optional and easily attainable. Fine. I have no problem with the manner in which they are implemented.

But in making that argument you are inherently admitting to the fact that these are luxuries/conveniences that are separate from the main content of the game. Following along then, if you admit that these are separate and optional features, then how can you simultaneously argue that this is sufficient to address something that is lacking from the main game?

You can't have it both ways! Again, I don't have any issue with the security vendor system, but that response by Bioware was in poor taste and I'm surprised people are defending them for it.

Hence the moron part...are you new to reading?

You don't have to. You just don't get to access perks that other people enjoy.

So... where can't you buy it?

When I said widespread "beam me up" options, I was referring to Dungeon teleporter in that *other* game. That in my opinion is one of the worst things to have happened in MMOs in general. It completely feeds into the instant gratification crowd. Spoiling your players is not a good thing to do because it is human nature to expect more of the same later. Greed is more pervasive than you realize. CoH learned this lesson the hard way with their AE system (player created content). They made the rewards far too generous and easy to exploit initially and subsequently tried to fix it by hitting it with the nerf bat repeatedly. As a result, some people quit and the AE building turned into a barren wasteland for almost all zones except 1 or 2.

If people want that extra level of convenience, there has to be a trade-off. The current fleet pass system (not the emergency one) is already far more generous than I would prefer but to each their own.

I have done all of these things on many occasions and I have to yet to feel I was truly inconvenienced by the existing travel system. If I have to wait a few minutes for someone to get to where I am, that just gives me a chance to take a short break to get water, change the TV channel, go to the bathroom, etc. Maybe my tolerance level for such things is just higher than most. Playing MMO to me is about leisure, it is not about rush rush rush, "OMGWTFBBQ WE NEED TO GET THERE NAOW". That type of mentality may have had its place in the past, mainly in MMOs such as EQ where guilds/group had to rush to a raid mob/camp or risk losing out to another guild/group. In the instanced based MMOs of today, not so much. Maybe my tolerance level for such things is just higher than most.

It's $4 in the US? It's £9 (about $14.25) in the UK, exactly the same price as one months subscription. You do get free economy postage, but Origin doesn't state what Economy delivery means or give an estimate for delivery. I suppose that extra $10 is all taxes and delivery costs not price gouging .

It's also not reusable so you have to buy a new one each use. you can also get a little key chain thing if you don't have an iphone or android.

But then the reason Bioware aren't looking at quick travel straight to ship is because of this "perk".

Therefore it can't be a "perk" because it's blocking a serious travel system improvement.

And if it's not a "perk" then why is it on the SKV?



No idea what WoW has, I'm afraid. I got very bored of WoW just before WoTLK came out, quit, and haven't been back since.

Most MMORPGs (that aren't WoW) have a better, more user friendly travel system than SWTOR however.

There is no "trade off" though, there's a superfluous extra layer of "security" to be able to do something that should be standard in SWTOR (and indeed according to Bioware may be standard if not for the Fleet Pass - unless they intended to limit quick travel to ship to Security Key holders only).



I see so your argument is basically "if I don't think it's needed, then it's not needed".

Fair enough, I (and many others) disagree!

I bet we pay for it..

Like the Special ed

Like anything else you pay for in life

Like my nice car - gets you around the same but in different times and style (if you go fast)

Like flying on a Jet first class -- you pay for it... same result... etc..

Like DOING ANYTHING IN ANYTHING YOU PAY FOR AS A PRODUCT....

SOOO while you may not like that some people have a iPhone or Android that gets a pass.. I bet we have a APP, that is advertisement which in turn pays for something, when we use the bandwidth to use it... or the cost... or the app itself at 99 cents maybe.. WHO KNOWS>

In the end... this is no different then anything else in life or a game. You get what you pay for... and if you want it.. you pay for it.

The End
