Gear from content, not from market!

Same thing we always got... maybe a bit more. More character slots. The ability to run as many flashpoints, ops, and warzones as we care to. The ability to equip any item in the game. Whatever else comes with a sub.

Yes, there's a lot of focus on the cartel market. That's where much the money is, apparently. So that's where EA invests more. But not all. There's more coming than just cartel market.

If we want to change the way EA invests, we need to change the way we spend on the game, as in less into the cartel market and more into subscriptions. But that's not what we're doing. It's quite usual to see people talking on these forums about dropping a years' worth of subscription money on gambling packs (and complaining that they're *gasp* gambling packs when done).

The EWH gear is simple a recoloring of the WH gear... if anything the EWH further proves the dearth of new gear added since F2P...

I know how to fix it...... Instead of Loot that drops from worth while tasks or boss fights, give a big banner that the toon can run around with that says, "I defeated TFB in HM" I meen really isn't that what you really want?

/epeen emote that shows a holovid of... well, you get it. It grows larger or smaller based on the number of ops bosses you've killed, number of times you've killed them, and your proficiency in warzones.

No, I don't think that's what this thread is asking for but that's what came to mind reading your post.

No what I would rather is that the gear be available from drops, quests, etc. but if that is somehow to much work we could have the in-game ability to get cartel coins and the in-game cartel market vendor. Perfect world have all of the above.

Edit: good lord so many typos.

Why do you need an ingame way to get cartel coins?

Oh, to spend at the cartel market vendor.

Why do you need an ingame cartel market vendor?

Oh, to buy cartel market items ingame.

Why do you need any of that when you can already buy all cartel items (except the bugged blue/cyan crystals) from the GTN?

I addressed this in an earlier post and in the one you just replied. I want the items in game but would be less annoyed by an in-game way to get cartel coins and an in-game cartel market vendor because it would at least feel like it was part of the game world.

Thats funny, but really I have met my share of people that run around or stand in the middle of the community with there shiny new bling because they are one of a hand full that have acctualy got it. Not all people are like that but I know that some ( some ) are mad because they want to do something that no else can do and get the "cartel stuff" and stand there and get there whisper or 2.....

Newdude: cool helmet guy!!! Where did you get it?
guywithloot: 2 weeks of questing with homies and guildies, kicking some major super bigg baddies ***!
New dude: thats cool I wish I could join a group like that....
guywithloot: Yep...... if you are good enough kid you can come with us some day.

(acctualy happened 6 years ago to me as new kid)

The banner or /epeen (lol) will allow that person to now show it off to those that are new..... and they can stand at the starting worlds and get 5-6 whispers.

I also agree. Is it really that hard to come up with 2 different colored skins of clothing/armor for the game. What I would like to see them do is introduce a set for your filthy cash shop, but at the same time introduce a set for a quest line or purchasable at a crew skill trainer.
TBH, I'm getting sick of all these updates to the Cartel Market with stuff that was probably originally meant to be obtainable by actually playing the game.

Yes I am calling people lazy since all the gear IS available in game. Name any piece and I'll give you a torhead link with the name and even a general location.
