They always said that the exact price was yet to be determined and things change as it develops. If they don't charge for anything then we won't have a game at all! They did say that the new Operations and warzones and SecX/HK would be free for subscribers and they were...

Some of you really need to get over yourselves. Nothing is free. Don't like it move on. Geez!

Its $10... really people.

I think you'll be alright without one McDonalds meal. If you like the game then support it, creating digital products is not free, paying your bills is not for free.

Support the game!
considering some of us are on fixed incomes,10 bucks is a lot, but seeing as you think its nothing why dont you buy it for me.
proud to be a Cranky ole fart!

I'm an adult with a mortgage and tons of bills not working going back to college for my Master's and I commute an hour each way for class.

"I" can afford it.

Sorry bud, but "fixed income" can still squeak out $10 for the exp.

The fact is you don't KNOW it will have 4-5 zones, you don't even know if it will have new abilities. You have NO IDEA what's in the expac. The fact is, the specifically said it will NOT contain new class stories. They specifically said subs would NOT have to pay for it. And considering their track record, there is no reason whatsoever to believe that whatever they promise will not be completely watered down.

They are not advertising a new race, nor a new class, nor class stories, nor a new tier, nor new fps or ops or warzones. They are not advertising new gear. They are not advertising ANYTHING but Access to the planet and a five level increase. And I would not expect them to offer you anything more. That's why they want you to preorder the game IMMEDIATELY despite the fact we have no idea what we're paying for and it doesn't come out for at least 4 months.
And that is why all the raging makes me laugh. 4 months is long time for content to be added. No they haven't said anything about anything else and that is my point. And EAWare is hardly the first MMO to do this. WoW has done it a few times. And with less information. So I just say sit back, relax and see where the ride takes us. Free DLC content is a thing of the past. At least we are getting a discount.

And no, we have NOT been given a "ton of content." That is a subjective evaluation that does not hold up to objective comparison.
I'm not digging through 45 pages of crying to prove your point. You want your point proven, you produce the results.
That's why they call it space, cause there is so much of it.

The only sad I has is for this generation's willingness to roll over and take it because "it's only $10." Maybe it's because I can remember the days when $10 was decent chunk of change. But this whole Makeb thing is a blatant rip off and I don't mind ranting about it.

You don't want to hear the rant, get off my front porch.
1) No need to attack someone's grammar.
2) If you're going to do it, make sure you don't, in that very post, end up being guilty of the very thing you're criticizing someone else of.

But yes, you are remembering the good old days. These days I can't even watch a new movie in a theatre for $10 which is a lot less time in entertainment than I'm getting for this expansion. Also, Blizzard Expansions were always around $35, meaning if this expansion gives me 1/3 of what a WoW Exp did, it's still more bang for the buck... and this is comparing prices from years ago to what BW is charging now.

Hilarious, since all you do on these forums is rant, it's unavoidable really.
Even if they decided to give us subscribers Makeb for free i have no doubt that you would have a problem with that also.

How dare you constructively criticize it. How dare you, sir.
I know, I'm a fool. I'm old enough to know that arguing with people on the internet will change no one's mind or perceptions. And I do feel truly ashamed, I take your shaming with the utmost sincerity.
