You completely misunderstood what they said.

The color of their skirt was luminous green not that it was green quality.

Also. What does being able to not mod Blue and Green Quality items have to do with P2W?
Back in Black (and redder)!

yes because we all know the only source of orange shells is the cartel market, its not like they drop in open world, flashpoints, even rewarded by heroic quests, even the pvp vendors sell shells ( including the lower level ones on the capital worlds), and also crafted oh no sir

My critical analysis of your posts is that you are just reaching and trying to find any excuse you can to call this pay to win. its not working and weakens your argument.

First, how do you know? Are you monitoring what everyone else buys? Second, why do you care? What's it to you? How does it affect your game play if someone else collects outfits? And that swings back to how you know. Have you seen the same person in different outfits so you can prove your statement? Or have you just seen people in different outfits and jumped to conclusions?

And you DO know, I hope, that one of the major ways to play is to get yourself a set of orange gear and mod it up as you play, right? And you DO know that orange gear drops pretty often? And that you can buy it on the GTN? So you can be in a completely orange outfit and never have touched the CM?

So because people don't play the game like you do, you're "disappointed" and "mad" ? Just one suggestion (Well, two or three.) Get a grip and play the damn game. Don't worry about what other people WEAR, for God's sake! It's really none of your business.

EAware has been focusing all of its resources and manpower on the cash shop so of course he has a right to be concerned. SWTOR is doomed because the devs care more about reskinning cosmetics rather than working on actual content and sustaining a playerbase.

Complete nonsense.

Fact: They have a separate team that works on the CM part of the game.
Fact: We continue to see content released to the game that is in no way related to the CM

Personally, I put him on ignore, right next to his other apparent incarnations, as soon as I read his first posts earlier this month.

This is pretty normal. Gamers like customization options.

This game was far more likely to be doomed, if at all, with the prior business model presented and promoted by the prior dev team IMO. If anything, the items you claim they care about, IMO, actually saved the game and will continue to do so.

Fact: Which makes up a minority while the rest of what is released has to supplement the cash shop in some way.

Since you're always white knighting for EAware and SWTOR I wouldn't expect you to understand why SWTOR lost OVER 2 million subscribers and went F2P in LESS THAN A YEAR. Instead of regularly releasing both PvP and PvE content, EAware is always trying to release reskinned items almost monthly to milk what remains of the diminishing playerbase.
fact: you do not have any sources to back up your claims so why should we consider them facts

Lol! You can even craft your own orange gear. Guess what? Some people enjoy crafting too. There's nothing on the cartel market that you can't get in game by playing other than skins and a lot of those are reworked versions of what's already in game. This is much ado about nothing.

All this flailing also ignores the fact that if people want to play for free (foolish, imo, as it almost always ends up being more expensive than subbing and not just in swtor), income needs to be generated somewhere. We should all be thanking people's love of costume variety for saving the game and funding the new ops and fps that have been added on a regular basis.

Do I like kdy as well as say, Black Talon or the Foundry? Nope, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't serve a gameplay purpose, allowing for a wider range of levelling options and letting friends of different levels and gear to play together. And I do like the new storyline they'be started and the Oricon Ops. Not every player has to like everything. Just because one doesn't care for something personally doesn't mean it isn't valuable content to someone else.
