There is no good reasons why subscribers have to pay cartel coins in 2.1.

I agree, barber shops (armor dyes to) are basic functions in most mmos (all of them that I've played). in truth I can't remember the last time I played a game that didn't launch with a barber shop.

It's pretty obvious that progressing the cartel market is more of a priority than progressing the base game, will be curious to see how long that holds up.

Why don't they start charging us cartel coins for an talent tree respec too?

Why don't they start charging us cartel coins to remove and add mods from our gear?

No extra cost my ***. Every other game allows for their 'barber shop' to be paid with in in game credits, real money isn't even in that picture. I give them my 15$ a month so i don't have to pay for extra features because it's worth it to me. This is an unfair jab at subscribers.

Edit : Many people seem to think this is about money (which in a sense it is) but for me it's mostly about principle. The kiosk should not be done with real money period. Add extra unlockables for cartel coins or for F2P players, thats fine. But if I'm giving you my 15 dollars a month I shouldn't have to pay for things that should be included.

Edit 2: I also couldn't give two ***** about the cathar, I have zero interest in them at all so I really don't care how much they are. This is about the Appearance change kiosk, nothing else.
You don't have to pay extra. Use your free allowance of CC each month.
If you pick up a novel, and see pages 2-899 only as obstacles between pages 1 and 900, then it may just be that you don't like reading.

Is there a reason you could not just discuss your concerns in one of the existing threads on this issue? Sincere question.

Dont make me laugh, pls. 500 CC is crap. We are not idiots.

EAware is stretching the string too much. Im sure that subscribers are ok paying for a character creation but NOT for a haircut. Ingame Character Creation and Barber Shop should BE 2 different features, not only ONE. Charging CCs by a Barber Shop goes beyond reason.

And guess what? Soon we will see new haircuts etc in the Cartel Market. Good luck trying to pick those things with the 500 CC per month.

I wonder which was the last new free content we got. The Gree Event? and about PvP the last warzones was Ancient in 2012....most of the new stuff is about Cartel Market or money out the suscriptions fee. We pay 12€ per month to get free weekly Fps, Ops and Wzs and free respeccs.....awesome.

This is going too far.

Guild Wars 2 does not have a barber shop, and also the really good dyes are gem store exclusive.

As for how the game is progressing I quess all we can do is wait and see. But as long as the only thing that is excluded from the subscribtion is vanity stuff I am OK with it.

On a side note you donīt have to spend cartel coins anyway since next to everything on the cartel market can be traded with other Players for ingame credits.

Thatīs the trap. For every item you buy with ingame money via CCs in the GTN, someone has paid real money for it but exceptions about people using the 500 CCs, of course.

In the end, if you remove the Cartel Market, what remains in the game? the same old stuff plus a bugged mini expansion which we paid for it.

And the question is, where is the new free content and when will be released?. Reworked Gree Event or Rakghouls this year? thats no new content same Flashpoints Hard 55 are no new content either.

I'm pretty sure that it was stated in one of the other threads that Cathar will cost 600 CC. I get that in one month just because I sprung for the 6 month recurring sub. To top it off, I use the iPhone security key, and get another 100 CC a month. So 700 CC a month, and all I need to do is not spend it on Packs or character slots (I'm a terrible altoholic), and bam, I have my Cathar Smuggler.

Yeah, but 600 cc for cathar and 800 cc for species change. :)

I'm making a brand-new character for my Cathar, so I don't have to worry about that.
