How Much Have You Spent on Cartel Coins?

Personally, I havn't spend any additional money on CC besides my monthly sub.

But I'm gald their are people who will, because it's been good for the game finanacially. Can't say I understand their willingness to do so.....but glad that they do.

And I've been able to pick and choose which of the items from the CC packs I'd like to buy with game credits. It's not really any different to me than if the items had just been added to a vender.

Just picked up my SP-RO Power Droid Pet for what I felt was a fair price, and didn't spend any CC to do it.

If you aren't enjoying the time spent "grinding" dailies, then why do it when you could just spend a few dollars to get right to the things you enjoy about the game?

I guess I just find the sentiment weird because I've played golf and done other activities that cause a WHOLE LOT more than SWTOR for MUCH LESS entertainment time/value.

To each his own, I guess.
I never said I don't enjoy dailies. I do, to an extent. More then work at least. A lot more. Play some music while I'm doin it, chatting with friends, etc. Way better then irl work.

You also missed the part where grinding for credits for an hour assures me exactly what i want, where spending real life money only gives me the dim chance of getting what I want.

If you like playing a glorified slot machine then go ahead and do that. I'm glad there are people like you because otherwise the GTN resale approach wouldn't be a viable option. But you have to accept that some people, in fact most people, think its absurd.

Haven't spent a dollar.

Pretty cool with that, actually. Sun still comes up in the morning, I love my kids, and my dog likes me.

And I still have an extra dollar. Or twenty. Or fifty.

Oh so not telling, lol...Guilty, but not telling. All of my characters are dressed in CM armor and some even have more than one set of CM armor. It's way better than the armor in game. Some of my companions also have CM armor on. I have the guns, the speeders, etc. So yes, guilty...how much I have spent, I'll never tell but I will be getting the coin card from Best Buy tomorrow if they have it because I want the pet.

They may or may not remember it, but that $80 grants them a chance at physical interaction with another human being. Sitting home and playing this game virtually guarantees that's not going to happen.

Only used my allocation for a pack last week, which got me a legacy Speeder (don't ask me which one, a speeder is a speeder!) which was perfect as I had just created an new Alt

some other stuff I sold on GTN for probably to little.

But I have no problem using this but haven't seen anything I really like! I would spend Real Money if it was something I wanted.

I'm getting old now, physical interaction isn't always on my mind, but even if if was I've never paid for it!!!!

If you'd given me £80 I've have bought you a chair mount off the GTN. Heck, I'd buy you one for a fiver!


Which is my humorous way of saying - why not just get one from the GTN?
