They are already discussing milking the subscribers

Agreed, it would be laughable for them to call Makeb an expansion, it's an update and let's leave it at that.

None of us have enough information about Makeb to know one way or the other. So your perjorative directed at the developers is premature and without supporting facts.

Personally, I am happy to wait until we actually see what Makeb is/is-not before buying a ticket on the doom train.

It's one planet, and unless that planet is the size of 5 planets put together Makeb is not an expansion.

Like I said, we don't know enough about it to do anything other then guess and bluster.

We don't even know it's going to be an expansion, or if Makeb is a project name for much more then just a planet added to the galaxy...or if it will be free or cost coins, or.... etc. etc. etc.

TL;DR we don't know squat about it yet.

But we have videos, statments from developers and we can use past experience to draw conclusions, that's how predictions work, of course we can't know anything but we can use logic to draw a conclusion about a future event, you know, like normal people do?

As a matter of interest what previous 'experience' do you have on SWTOR releasing new planets to suggest that it will be a paid expansion? I ask because as far as I know they have never released a new planet.

I never said we would have to pay for Makeb, some have said it will be an expansion, i was just pointing out the fact that Makeb was a single world and would most likely be the same size as every other planet, so it would be an update and not an expansion.
However if they did charge us for it and called it an expansion, Makeb had better be a very large planet.

There are too many unknowns to get in a tizzy over Makeb already.

Will it be free for subscribers or a paid expansion? We don't know.
If we have to pay for it, how much will it cost? We don't know.
How big is the planet Makeb? We don't know.
What else will be included with the release (operations, flashpoints, warzones, new space missions, new species?) We don't know.

We don't know much, and you're just going to drive yourself crazy by making up doomsday predictions and getting really upset over them. Since we really don't have anything to go on, I'd rather "predict" that Makeb is going to be extremely awesome. Both predictions are probably not entirely accurate, but at least my prediction doesn't make me all crotchety and depressed.

I'd gladly pay, not using my Cartel coins on anything else.

Well looking on the LotRO quest packs they seem to cost around $9 or maybe 900CC coins in SWTOR money.

So if the quest pack (not an expansion) cost everyone say 600-700 CC, i.e. one month of free subscriber allocation are you really saying that a subscriber is still being charged?
