How Much Have You Spent on Cartel Coins?

Currently I have purchased 0 Cartel coins, however I currently have 6,350 coins on my account to use eventualy. I will not support the market with real money because I am already a subscriber. Anything I could ever want that is in the cartel market eventually ends up on the global trade market and I just wait till its up for a price I am willing to pay.

The one thing that I always wondered is what happens to all those credits people are putting up millions of credits worth of merchandise? Not talking 1-5 items but 10+ items of the same thing every couple hours, are they selling the in game credits for real life money?

I've spent way more than I should have. But it did translate into a lot of credits through the GTN so from now on I can buy whatever I really want from the GTN instead of gambling on the packs.

I have 5 million credits on each of my 3 lvl 50 characters (15 mill total). any excess money i make through cartel GTN sales I donate to new players. I usually include 150k along with a speeder, adaptive gear and XP boosts.

35€, but didn`t open a single box. I buy Enforcers Contraband packs and sell them for 450k credits whenever I need money.
I HATE farming, i HATE it with compassion. With the cartel market I now have enough money to play the game without looking at every credit twice.

This made me really LOL. Cheers.

To stay on topic: I bough a 24 contraband pack, opened some of it, sold some of it. If i got some expensive stuff (like that luxury mount) I sold it. I kept some of the items for alts and main. That's about it. If they'd bring back the Life Day pack, I'd buy it in a second. Don't know what my future plans are, if they make some stuff I really like I'd probably buy it if it's not "gambleable", if it is I'll rather buy it of the GTN.

In all seriousness though, Cartel Market and F2P in general has definently brought in alot of cash for the game.
Eeeh... you pay $1299 a month on the cheapest plan?

I think you made an error somewhere in your calculations my friend

Not a single penny. Of course, I use the supplement CC from my sub,but I have never parted with any money specifically for CC. I don't intend to, either.

EA is lucky enough to get my sub.
So I was scrolling through my old posts and I do have to say this is in fact a lie.
