They are already discussing milking the subscribers

It doesn't matter what YOU think content is. EAware considers EVERYTHING content and has stated so. To EAware:

• Races are content
• Classes are content
• Gear is content
• Ops, WZs, FPs are content
• etc.

All of which they are indicating that they will introduce from the CC Store.

Who says the game is losing subscribers, thats ridiculous.
Who says the game is going F2P, thats ridiculous.
Who says they are going to charge for Makeb, thats ridiculous.

I said, thats who. EA will suck people for everything they think they can get away with. They will start small, like with this cathar race and see how people react. Then it will become more and more and more, until they feel they have pushed as far as they can. Thats what EA does. You will get a bone here and there, but I guarentee you, by next year 98% of the content will be cash shop.

Why do you think those 2 doctors, whose entire life was Bioware, up and left? Yeah, they wanted to retire. They were bored of making games. No, they wanted to get away from EA ruining their good name.

Cathar specifically, how are they sucking anyone dry? Subscribers are free to unlock Cathar using their fee cartel coin award if they want to? Without spending any real world money...

Driz

As I said, this is a small step into larger territory. Its only a matter of time. You will see.

The fact that subscribers should HAVE to to use a real world currency to purchase anything extra is in itself exploitive. I pay a sub, I should access to all the stuff that sub money was used to create.

They are slowly altering the deal, don't know how you can't see it lol. First it was "subs will get EVERYTHING at no additional cost..."

Then it was "we're really not sure what if anything subs will have to pay for..."

Now there are a whole host of things you HAVE to use real world currency to purchase, and the fact they give you a monthly stipend of enough to purchase HALF of ONE is not a good argument, in fact it shows them as being EVEN MORE EXPLOITIVE AS IF THEY"D GIVEN NONE, because by giving you half you need to buy a piece of armor they are encouraging you to buy 600 more to buy the other half.

i would hope its more then just a new rock and 5 lvls if they going to charge for it but look at DCUO if u pay 2 play u get them free if i remember right been a long time that i have been on that game lol so we can have hope it is going to be here :P

I think most of us don't follow your post anymore since you just complain. When I see your Avatar I know it is just another complaint in a long line of complaints. I only noticed this one because I was following the other guy.

It has to be one huge planet to let you go from 50 to 55 don't you think?

I highly doubt they will charge subs for basic updates to WZs and ops. As evil as the suits may be, even they know not to charge their base subscribers for basic content updates. If they do, I won't come to the forums and whine like some people, ill just drop my sub and walk away.

Not really. For instance it is possible to hit tatooine at lvl 25 and leave at level 30 and then hit alderaan at lvl 30 and leave at level 34. Heck I hit Voss at level 45 and left at 50. Makeb is really not going to be much larger than any of the other planets if it's only 5 levels (even scaling for increased exp in the level 50-55 range).
