Perhaps I should define "stupid"... since it can be taken so many ways...

Poor long term decision making...

Is that better? You can enjoy it today, but you'll have to suffer the long term consequences of those decisions for many years down the road.

Think of it this way... you may enjoy eating a pound of chocolate every single day, and if you want to do it, that's fine... but don't be all shocked when you weigh 400lbs and have Type II Diabetes by the time you're 25 years old either.

As a long-time primal-paleo convert, I feel strangely compelled to point out that the problem with even an home-made taco is obvious. It's the grains, people, the eeevil grains. Meat's good

Sorry, please, don't argue. Eat what you wish. Life's short.

So is this about legacy storage or tacos? I like Jack In The Box tacos myself. As far as Legacy storage. It is why I'm hanging around myself. I waiting to see how it works out. I have 6 crafters on JC and EH and so it shouldn't be a problem. I want to see how they handle it.

What makes the most business sense and maximum profit potential for EA when the legacy storage is being offered both as crafted and via the CM is to make the crafted not only substantially inferior to the CM one but to make crafting it require collecting special mats that take a very long time to collect or only come from content or areas where obtaining them can only be accomplished by a very small percentage of the crafters with the skill to learn the schematic.

That is just the hard headed bean counting way of doing it and that approach is what drives EA. They can say, "oh you can craft it in game" but in reality the difficulty of doing so will make most people buy it from the CM and make any that are put up on the GTN so expensive as to be prohibitive for the vast majority of players, thus driving them back to the CM.

I have seen the same approach many, many times for items available via both the shop and in game means in many f2p games. There is no reason to expect anything different this time, it is part of the basic business model for f2p games.

Don't be ridiculous. We are clearly discussing Legacy Taco Storage.
