That didn't end too well for EVE the playerbase revolted, did horrible things to the servers and generally embarrassed the hell out of CCP. As a result EVE backed down on a lot of things and spent the next several months fixing bugs. Maybe what ToR needs is a $70 monocle....

Meh. I think the Jedi Valiant armor looks pretty good on my agent.

It's like comparing apples and thin air. Gold and ESPECIALLY diamonds, are not that rare. Terrible analogy is terrible.

You buying behaviour is the best weapon you have against/in favor of it. I personally only bought the Items i did when they were on discount. Not buying it helps. Telling them exactly what you think of it also helps.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too? Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

I'm mixed about this. On the one hand, it's a 'raid/Operations' class armour (at least on the Republic side) and therefore should be higher in value (or the rewards from Operations start to feel meaningless). On the other hand, is it the start of no new really nice armour being available in-game? I'll be concerned if we start to see hood down 'basic' Jedi and Sith robes available only on the cartel market.

That's why we need devs to add the looks we were shown on trailers or lower the prices so they'll be accessible to everyone who starts the game.

That is around 12-15 dollars for a set of in game armor. What do you guys think of this price point? I think it's too much. But then again, I'm a subscriber (because I like to play endgame some) and think the game should still be P2P and all of the game content, including cosmetic items, should be available for in-game credits. I haven't spent any of my cartel credits yet.

I think the price point is too high because it drives customers away; EA/Bioware would make more money by dropping the price and increasing the number of people who would buy it. However, none of you are forced to pay cartel coins. I had a huge stiffy for that Valiant Jedi set, wasn't going to buy the coins for it, but was able to purchase it for 1.5 million credits.
