I don't want an instant-win. Quit assuming that I do.

I want the legacy system to be utilized correctly. The legacy system was created as a way to reward players for playing (like a Veteran Reward). Now, instead of keeping to the server wide system they created, they've decided to make a massive credit sink (money not going to the GTN) on a per character basis, and "labelled" it "legacy".

If you're happy with this, then I can only assume your a Bioware Fanboi, and think they can do no wrong.

Well, I'm sorry. I disagree whole-heartedly with this design choice, as do many other people, and I wont be told to shut up about it by someone who can't understand the issue, or even acknowledge that there is one.

At least now you might understand what happens when one assumes.

I think you're missing the point - which is specifically that the 2 months of doing every daily on 8 characters (which is probably going to be a full day's work) is an unnecessary grind. There's no accomplishment in it, it's just how much time you dumped into doing dailies instead of leveling alts.

Even in this hypothetical "doing dailies on 8 characters" scenario you already have 8 50s, and thus have passed the period where legacy perks would be most beneficial.

I like leveling alts. Putting the perks in makes leveling alts nicer, IF you can afford it. How can you afford it? Playing level 50 characters is by far the most efficient way to make money. Therefore the dev logic here is that to make leveling alts more pleasant, you must spend your time not leveling alts. Please just reward us based on legacy level, or cut the costs down by at least an order of magnitude. And no more of this "customize your character!" ******** - paying 8x for the same perks instead of paying once to give your legacy the bonus is some of the most offensive mislabeling I've been exposed to in a game. It's a thinly veiled money sink, call it what it is.

The 1.3 per-character legacy perks (on Public test) are way too expensive for per-character perks. If they were legacy-wide unlocks, the credit price would be justified, but it's not.

Either change it to legacy-wide unlocks or lower the prices to 10-20% of the current prices.

Also, it would be good if you could either unlock these legacy perks by just reaching a certain legacy level without credits as well as paying for them. It would give people a choice - either pay credits quickly or get to the legacy level.

Nice "Rewards" Bioware. I'm so happy the reward I earned was the privilege to spend credits,

The cost of legacy "perks" is a bit expensive. I love credit-sinks for what they do for the economy, but 30% total boost from so many credits seems pretty meek. The 300% on all xp WOW gives for refer a friend might be too fast at this point, but somewhere in the middle (closer to WOW) would be better.

Meh, nice idea Bioware, but make is Legacy-wide. Nobody is going to spend that many credits for each character that they level. Most of us are still too busy trying to unlock all the other extortionate Legacy 'rewards'...
