If you folks spent even 1/10 of the time you spent complaining about this doing something to earn money, you would realize how utterly trivial $10 really is.
Below this is my referral link. If you press it you get free stuff and I get free stuff. This makes you, me....and Bioware happy, but don't let that stop you!

If you spend half the time it took you to type out this responce, you'd know it wasn't about $10.

Its not trivial when your paying a sub and have to pay more then f2p players, its not trivial when bioware said subscribers would get makeb and the 5 levels within the subscription costs.

First, you can continue as a subscriber, which gives you unlimited access to all game features and future Game Updates at no additional charge. http://www.swtor.com/info/news/blog/20120731

I remember paying in EQ2 for little Adventure packs like Bloodline Chronicles from 4.99 to 7.99. And these were really small adventure packs.
Makeb is huge comparing to this.
I don't see a reason why they should give it out for free... It's new new planet (aka continent) , it has new level cap.
I think that $9.99 is a very reasonable price for subscribers.

We all want more content coming - right? Then stop complaining and make it happen by supporting the game.
I already pre-orderred.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Really though, what are we going to do with these extra 5 levels we aren't already doing? It's another planet with a planet story arc. And don't throw the "They said theyll add more later" garbage because let's be honest here, EAware hasn't exactly been honest with us often at all.

F2P players have to pay more for less? Because they'll only get access to the story content without additional unlocks.

Now this would have been the perfect opportunity to make F2P the right way. New content for free to subscribers and a small cost for F2P players.

Then remove some of the retarded restrictions and continue making content instead of finding new ways to piss off your customers.

I'm a sub btw and I gotta say this is getting beyond a joke now.

$15/month for subscription, plus another $10 for purchase of content update = $25.
Free-to-Play purchase of content update = $20.

For all of the 'General Genius' people who really think they are getting a great deal.

Agreed, I used to say Nexon is the worst gaming company, but at least Nexon is honest with the playerbase!!!

http://starwarstorguide.blogspot.dk/...o-be-free.html Just around 5 minutes they start talking about Makeb.
James Ohlen belongs at EA he's about as truthful and money hungry as them. I mean seriously as someone who has come back to resub just to pay more than a f2p is just distasteful. The price isn't the problem the lack of respect you have for you're customer is.
