did you buy the expansion? are you gonna buy it? do you want to wait?or never buy it?

Since the mods deleted every thread asking for more information to make a better informed decision, that tells me they do NOT want me to buy it. So fine by me.

I'm more interested in value, as value is the determining factor for any purchase. The answer to "did you get what you paid for?" ulitmately factors in purchase price. In comparing the Hutt Cartel xpac's price to the price of a music CD as I did, their similar purchase values come from whether or not you enjoy it and how often you would go back to engage it.

A standard $10 CD plays through in its entirety in less than an hour and relies on replayability for its purchase value. If you like it you rip it to iTunes and add your faves to a song list. If not, you kick yourself for making the purchase and move on. No one thinks anything of those $10 being spent (or wasted) on something that only takes up a few minutes of their time. I doubt anyone who bought a music CD they eventually disdained ever went to the record company and griped that the music wasn't Beatles enough. They'd be tabbed as stupid and told to go download Beatle music.

A $10 MMO game expansion that plays through in its entirety in a few weeks also relies on its replayability for its purchase value. If you like it you repeat the aspects of the expansion you enjoy. If not, you kick yourself for the purchase and move on. With the added twist that griping to the developer that the game wasn't WoW enough seems to be the norm, concluding that MMO stupid merits acceptance.

If that makes me a drone (or whatever other name you're comfortable calling people who lack your perspective) then I'm quite comfortable being a drone.

Think you loved HK-51, a free update, as you speak as it does. But yet, you are here to attack BW.

Because if we like one aspect, We can't criticise another?

Actually, I have no idea what I will do.

To be honest, the price tag isn't what I take into consideration, the expansion costs far less than a pizza delivered to my home anyway.

So I guess I will wait until May and decide then if I want to buy it or quit sw:tor, once it is released. (why May? F2P in Autumn 2012 was released in November, so Spring is May).

he loves HK-47

No, I haven't yet. I'm really undecided. It's due to by the reach I reach the later levels finding groups for Heroics already in the game is a chore, I doubt it'll be much easier on a planet you have to buy to access.

Nope becuase its not expansion just renamed content patch.

Yes, I will be getting the DLC.

I call it a DLC because that is what it is, not an expansion.

Pre-ordered as soon as I heard about it. I will eat up each and every story content they release, whether labeled as an expansion or not. I'm really curious as to their story direction and its a chance to dust off a couple of my 50's that I haven't really played since April.
