Not buying, my sub lapsed a few days ago and not renewing it. Not going f2p either. The game had so much potential and it has been wasted. Leveled 4 toons to 50, the planet quests got very boring upon repeating. And the f2p model they introduced is far inferior to LOTRO, which I play and have played since before it was f2p.

It is just not worth the money to me, the actual price is not the point, it is that the game as it is today is not worth what they are charging. And the utter lack of detail on the expansion screams bait and switch to me, not putting my money into that.

I'm genuinely amazed at the amount of people who say that they're bored with the game. Even if you just play the class quests there is tonnes of story to be experienced.

But maybe the people who are bored spacebarvtgrough all the dialogue and want a substantial PVE or PVP endgame. I don't know.

What bothers me is their complete lack of communication letting us know what exactly to expect in this so called "expansion" and the fact that they are dangling a early access reward if you pre order early on. So if you want to be a responsible and educated buyer you will be punished because they probably aren't going to reveal any more details before the deadline on the 7th.

Didn't buy it, and canceled my subscription 2 days after the announcement due to many compounded reasons, not just the expansion that was once a content patch.

I will wait for more information. I rarely buy an empty box with the promise of something cool inside. That includes cartel packs too.

Not to mention, we are not only buying an empty husk at this point with the promise of something good, but we also have to wait atleast 3 months or more for it. Who knows what their definition of spring is? The way they go it could be October 2013.

I bought it the same day it was announced. I have been playing the game since launch and it has never bored me like other mmorpg's did after an extended period. I knew Makeb was earlier reported to be included in an update, but I realise times have changed. The gaming market has changed since the creation of this game, and I see this change of direction as a consequence of that change.
I personally do not understand the people nowadays who seem to make a lot of effort stating what they are not going to do, while they could have used their time and energy in other manners or places. I also do not understand the hypes these days. People expect too much of brands and companies, at time X they praise it to the heavens and at time Y curse everything it has done so far and plans to do in the future. If you get so stressed out in your spare time I advise you to do more or other things.
I personally try to see things from realistic point of view, for me the cost of this expansion are little compared to other things in life. I hope to be surprised and amazed by it's content, that's all.

did you buy the expansion?

NO

are you gonna buy it?

Very unsure

do you want to wait?

Not a question of want to, but a question of am I willing and determined to wait. And the answer is YES, lack of content is the issue, and the only content anyone can be sure of is that listed in their advert... nothing else, only that.

never buy it?

Highly likely at this juncture.
