SW:TOR will experience the first ever overnight ecomonic crash of an MMO.

So you are complaining about a video game that gave you enough entertainment to level 17 toons? There is no game that has 17 paths no matter how you look at it. But Swtor does have individual stories that no other mmo can compare too. If you don't like it go back to WoW.

Well, it will cause deflation as there will be less money... and guess what, deflation is exactly what I want
Outfits I'm coming ^^

Not to be to offensive, but your understanding of MMO economics is off. Your post was articulate and well thought out but utterly off-base.

The economy isn't going to crash, and in fact, GSH is needed in order to bring the economy back to its normal standards and reduce credits floating around. A very interesting article I would recommend reading:

The GSH and the pricing for it is absolutely necessary to blow a few billion credits out of the economy. Since its inception, SW:TOR hasn't had a very good money sink in order to help prevent inflation (although prices haven't really fluctuated terribly over the years either). The Nar Shadaa event took a few million credits out of the game but nothing spectacular like what GSH is about to accomplish.

This is absolutely necessary to help prevent inflation in the coming years/patches.

And like it has been pointed out, GSH isn't a necessity: it's a luxury, and completely optional.

I wonder about this and I'd love to see the metrics on it.

It seems everyone is running daily missions for credits, generating a crap ton of wealth that never existed previously in game - how much of the 50 million+ will have been existing credits vs. newly generated credits?

Now that's a VERY interesting question.

A small sampling of players (my guild) generated NEW credits for the flagship, rather than spending credits they already had. For us at least, our buying power will remain unchanged. Not sure how many other people are in the same boat.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

Sounds like a buying opportunity to me.

Just sayin -

I'll just keep selling crafting mats like I always do. If what I'm currently selling drops in price, I'm sure there will be something else that will still make a profit.

It's happened in several games before this, and it's already happened in swtor.

When the casino came out it threw everything into a spin but the economy recovered in less than a week. After that, this will be a breeze in comparison.

Demonstrably false, you can level the intended way with class missions an planet missions, just planet missions, space missions, warzones, just do flash points etc. Or you can do a mix of all of them. WoW doesn't even have class missions like SWTOR has, just regular area quests so you could argue SWTOR has more variety right there.

I'm incredibly excited for GSH but I'm still not going to blow all my money at once. I'm going ot buy the two capital word apartments for around 3mil, keep doing sailies and crafting to make money while I save up some more to unlock all of Nar Shaddaa. I don't intend to drop below 10mil.
