Honestly I wanted a bunch of cartel items but now after looking at price for items ratio to price of coins it is ridiculous ripoff. For any full armor set it's like $15 and all regular sets of just chest or anything are $5. Cartel Packs are about $3 (small)-$5 (large)
Would totally appreciate anybody clicking my referral link, free stuff and 2 day trial for you! http://www.swtor.com/r/W3lrW4

Yes a rip off MUST involve a transaction.

Nope that is exactly what a rip off is, I agree.

Much like paying less than the cost of production for something is a bargin (like your Veyron example).

And again something being A rip off is indepedent of me buying it or not
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Bioware EA have said it will not be availible for Cartel Coins nor will it ever be availible for Cartel Coins.

We'd like to clarify that Rise of the Hutt Cartel will be available for purchase through SWTOR.com/buy only, and there won't be an option to purchase it using Cartel Coins.

THe sparkle pony had value. It was an adaptive mount that EVERY character you had or later created received. For people with many alts it was of huge usefulness. Also Blizzard donated part of the proceeds to Charity.


The Life Day mount does not compare.

that actually makes the sparkle pony worse. Because now it has value. before it was just amount but now it actually is usefull in game as you don't have to ever buy a mount for any character again.

again if you don't like the Veyron analogy chose a different car company they are selling for profit like Ferrari.

No for something to be a rip off someone must be scammed. NO ONE IS BEING SCAMMED.

Now if they sold the santa speeder in game for 10 credits then YES it would be a rip off for cartal coins. But since it is the only way to get it then no it is not a rip off.

I didn't like Transformers, but I didn't spend 20 days yelling on forums how Micheal bay is destroying film. it sucked I moved on and did something i enjoyed.

i guess i'm just crazy though.
I have loved this game since beta, and have invested well over $500 worth of sub $ into the game (which is more than most of the people telling I'm stupid for quitting have invested btw), which gives me every right to voice my opinion on what I believe is right and what I believe is wrong with the game in any cordial manner I wish to utilize.

No, I really like the Veyron example, it perfectly shows that something can be expensive and not A rip off.

Where as a pretty terrible Santa Mount with a production cost of effectively $0.00 being sold for $18.00 is a perfect example of A rip off.

As they say in the video, $2.00 per character would have probably been the maximum acceptable amount for that particular mount.
