Well there's the problem right there.
It is rather critical that you read what you are buying before you buy it. I like the idea of having both global, and character based legacy perks.

This makes it a more critical decision to buy them, and gives me more to do and customize on a per character basis.

I do agree that gold sinks are getting a bit much. Continued design mentality like that practically asks for botters and gold sellers to double their efforts.

Perhaps a system similar to skill points but adjusted to legacy levels? Just a thought.

Wait until the cash shop starts selling credits for real world money. Possibly . . .

With 1.3 BW decides that all Legacy Perks only unlocks for the character that purchases it. Whats the purpose of it all if you have a lot of alts? BW even admitted that its difficult to earn just a million credits. Yet they make a system that requires you to earn multiple millions of credits to fully enjoy the perks.

I thought Legacy Perks was a great idea until I read the small print. What a scam...
And if they had given you all of the perks right away, you would complain a week later that there is no reason to play the game - go figure.

I can deal with character by character perks, even though It'd be nice to have them legacy wide. What really irks me is the fact that they require different legacy levels to get different tiers of the perks. I have 2 mil credits (I'd have way more if I didn't stop farming months ago.) with nothing to spend them on. I would have loved to plop into 1.3 and buy all the ranks of class mission xp boost for my alts and sink my money down in size, but the fact that I have to grind out legacy all the way to 25 before I can get all the ranks is silly to me. As someone who as of right now has no interest in PvE and lost interest in PvP due to my main's class philosophy getting flip flopped every patch, the thing that has kept my around is the story of all the classes. I don't enjoy grinding out legacy levels on my main and doing so on my alts would defeat the purpose of what I'm trying to do.

This system while I wouldn't call a scam, will work for the people who it's system is accommodated for and won't for the ones that it doesn't'.

Instead of crying about the perk costs or the "per-character" nature of them, maybe some of you should take a long, hard look at which ones you really want your alt to have (as in, would actually be worth buying).

I started a Sage the other day to give healing a try (and more crew skills), and I got her the WZ and FP experience perks, and she's in her mid-20's and hasn't even started Taris. Money well spent, so far.


I like the system just fine, for the record. I also have an aversion to whining and whiners in general, which at the moment has me wondering why I'm reading this thread. If you just *have* to unlock all that extra stuff, I'd say quit wasting time crying on the forums and go make some credits!

How many credit sinks can there be in this game? It's way past the point of being un-fun...
I couldn't agree more. I simply can't afford stuff at this point. All this update did was make me realize I'm too casual to be of value. I play 3-4 nights a week, 4 hours on average, but....I can't continue. I can't compete. I can't afford to be a 'top tier' player, so I find myself in a strange place right now...feeling lost and falling too far behind.

Same here. I have a pretty high legacy level though so my unlocks are only limited by my creds.

Nevertheless, started a Trooper. I wanted to max out his experience level during class quests so I could get him to 50 faster as my guild needs another healer. Bought several of those perks and wow... he is cruising through levels. Now I'm thinking of buying the exploring experience perk....
