So at what point did you make up this completely fabricated thought in your head convince yourself that this was reality, rather than look at things like facts?

As a customer or Star Wars: The Old republic, I do not approve the implementation of a reputation system based exclusively on money expenditure.

But I can do more than show my disapprova here. I plan to not buy anything of course as well as plant any seed Of disapproval i can to any gamer I run across about SWTOR and its new buy to rep system.

So your petition statement isn't even accurate. It's a loaded phrasing designed to elicit only the response you want. To me, it's ridiculous to suggest that having 1 out of 7 or 8 organizations based on rewards for purchases from the Cartel Market is some great travesty. Without people spending money on the Cartel Market (looks like subscribers have become 2nd citiziens after all... D: )to subsidize this game, there wouldn't be any game. 2 of the 3 vendors for the CRC sell Cartel items that people can buy off the GTN. The 3rd vendor offers a re-colored Voss mystic outfit, a gawdy helmet, 1 vehicle, a couple of armor sets for the Hutt security team (haven't seen anyone suggesting that these are highly sought after outfits either) and there there's a couple of titles based on rank. Not exactly the end of the world....and people can get rep off all the other groups in the reputation system except the CRC without spending any money. So it's very misleading to suggest that the entire reputation system is exclusively based on spending money.

oh nono my problem is only and exclusively with the CRC system.


I would bet that 99.9% of the people claiming this is an outrage because they can't get everything in the game without paying money don't even have anywhere remotely close to every non-Cartel item, title, codex, etc. They just hope if they make enough noise, that BW will give them free stuff or make it easy to get things off the CRC. I'm in the community too........so there's my voice.
wow i'm a 0.1% of all this most of my 3 level 50s have cartel items as in weapons and clothing and mounts and my newest lv.16 alt has also been granted one of the new cannon models, all taken out from the GTN

I'm sorry, but mine, is a battle of principles.

Oh yeah and just in case i felt the urge to buy legend rank overnight, I got 550 euros lying in wait.

Like i keep saying in other threads, all this can be simply solved by adding dailies like for sec.x, black hole and gree event. And since in a month's time a hutt controlled planet is going to enter our universe, that might be a good place where to put such dailies.

What? Facts? What facts?

You mean like the FACT that BioWare fixed the visual issues with the CM gear and issued a caveat to all players that had said gear free Classic versions while broken and visually wrong crafting gear has been left broken and visually wrong? You mean like the fact that they have added more than 20 new gear sets via gambling boxes while Crafters have not had a single update ever? You mean like the fact that they keep on promising us regular "unique" updates to the CE store and then give us a repaint of something they already gave away for free or added to a CM pack?

You mean like those facts?

But who are the wolves?

It seems that there are some players who are simply not content with having access to all important gear and most cosmetic gear and cannot stand the thought of someone having a cosmetiy eyepatch they can`t have without spending real money.

And by "can`t have" I mean "can have", because you could of course buy cartel packs from the GTN.

So yeah EA/Bioware, do not feed the wolves, they otherwise want more free cosmetic gear.

You can't just "add a gear set" in this game. There has to be an operation and a corresponding expertise set as well as systems designed to elevate progressing players to purchase them. You're just being simple.

It affects your game play if you are a crafter.

the problem is that in any other game there would be a method of voicing our dissent in an organized way, for example;

Spoiler


As it stand the forums are the only way to ACTIVELY protest, and for those trolls and shills that continue to be abusive and following the EA line, silence is not an option for many.

Oh no. I bet EA won`t be sleeping well tonight.

Ever thought about simply unsubscribing? Or would that be too subtle?
