The Republic: SWTOR is "Out of Control"

You mean the 'fiasco' where they made upgrades to HEROIC solo content available via Fleet Commendations, the GTN and the Cartel Market? That one, with three different methods of obtaining the upgrades?

Some of you people seriously need to stop and think before you act. You really do. You're complaining about a business attempting to make money in a way that many others are also doing. Nothing in the Market is P2W, nothing is REQUIRED to play the game (for those of us who sub) and the whole Christmas thing... I'm not anti-Christmas but people need to stop whining when a now-meaningless holiday is no longer celebrated publicly by a company that knows nothing about you.

Christmas is, theoretically, about the celebration of the birth of the 'savior of mankind'. It has turned into a greed-filled, selfish time of the year when companies goad you into spending money that could be used for better purposes and has gotten so bad some people take second and third mortgages on their homes to pay for gifts that mean nothing.

I'm glad they aren't shoving it in our faces. I like the Cartel Market. I think Makeb should cost $10. I'm glad SWTOR has an endgame. I'm glad gear is easier to obtain. I like the character stories, SGRs or not. I do not think 'everything is fine' and I DO think EA/Bioware has made some mistakes. I do not think any of them are game-breaking. I do think some bugs need to be fixed, some balancing needs to be done and some other things need work. I do not think the game is nearly as bad as most of the forum whiners claim, and certainly not worth canceling my sub over.

thats fine if you think it is too much. Guess what you don't have to buy it. I think BMWs are overpriced but I don't have to buy one. I also don't go to BMW's website and compalin that their cars cost too much and say they are ripping me off.

and??? so they sold them at a loss? what's your point.


But ok you don't like the Veyron analogy switch that with Ferrari. At 200k each thats too much and it is not sold at a loss. So it must be bringing all of (who is it Mercedes that owns them now?) mercedes down.

Really though the fact that it is selling at loss should make me angry because it IS bring VW down then. At least selling the santa mount which cost $0 to make at $18 isn't hurting the company.

Do you have to pay car manufacturers a monthly fee to look at their cars? Oh that's right, you don't.

You can even get cartel coins FOR FREE. as in with out spending a dime. So with time and credits you can unlock everything in the game with out spending a dime.

They can reverse the negative tide IMO with a few simple changes, which I have already suggested.

As to the point about life day...it's the holidays. Many games (as far as I am aware) usually hold holiday events. They decided for one reason or another to not hold one here, and I think that wasn't a wise choice.

It gives the impression, IMO, that this is an amateur effort, an unfair image from my perspective.

Again whether something is A rip off is nothing to do with whether I buy it or you buy it, it is simply too highly priced.

A Veyron certainly isn't as it is sold for a LOSS - that is a BARGIN, dispite its price.

Whether something is a bargin or a rip off has nothing to do with whether it hurts or helps a company either (the Veyron helps the company btw, they accept a small loss for a massive benifit in PR, prestige and other sales).

Charging $18.00 for comedy Santa mount does nothing but hurt Bioware EA and SWTOR.

A ripoff (or rip-off) is a bad financial transaction. Usually it refers to an incident in which a person is overcharged for something, or receives goods or services not of the standard expected for the price. A ripoff is usually distinguished from a scam in that a scam involves wrongdoing such as fraud; a ripoff may be considered excessive, but not illegal.

This is untrue, you cannot and will not be able to get Makeb with Cartel Coins.
