Why does it have to be a loss for either side, give players without them a chance to get them as a sub reward and any that have them can receive something else like another boosted character or +100 cartel points etc. There doesn't have to be a loser here; all the variables are within Bioware's control here.

I don't see why we can't have a simple interface to select any companion onto the ship with limited designated spots for them. It's not as if the comps pre-kotfe ever moved outside of cutscenes anyway. With this it becomes irrelevant who you killed or rejected as you can only pick from those that are there. they all already have idle animations and dialogue if you click them.

This is an idiotic response. I agree with the OP. I spent a lot of money on the CE and was told at the time that these items would not be available to others. How can they justify the price tag if everything is up for grabs for next to nothing. I'm not going to stop playing as it is an okay game that is fun to play occasionally but I will certainly not be purchasing bioware products with the same level of confidence and trust as I once did.

Just opened a new thread to cover a specific perspective on the F2P announcement and it got closed in 1 min. Confirms all worries I had. Really did not want to quit this game, really like it but I am very concerned about what the game will become

Title. Really looked forward to the game played avidly since day 1 and did not listen to the moaners....... until yesterday. I don't want this thread to be about moaning. I just want to know if there are others like me who think that this may turn the game into something different from what we initially signed up for. i hold out hope I won't leave and still enjoy the game but F2P worries me.

This is a bad thing because.....??? I'd be more concerned if they didn't provide things to spend on like say, oh I don't know ... the collector's edition store. I understand it won't work but honestly my concern is nothing to do with being spoiled for choice. More worried about the players the game will attract. I will keep my sub and hope the game works. Honestly though in all likelihood I will, unfortunately, be gone after a couple of months. I don't like the idea of having to spend money additional to a sub to get what I want (I will need a sub to do ops). Sad day for me when they made the announcement, it was like swtor told me they talked to the doctor and found out it is terminally ill. I will enjoy what little time it has left before the inevitable. I'm sure they will make money, though I fear it won't be my money.

Just sounds like a bnp thread. These foreigners are coming into our server and taking all our loots!! Lol just thought that was funny. I do understand the complaint is valid to an extent but an mmo works better with larger communities and you can't expect bioware to stop ppl going into a server with free transfers. Think how many more pissed off ppl there would be if 1/2 a guild moved to a server and the other half was told they couldn't change because more people would cause queues. They were damned either way, I think they made the best decision given the circumstances.

Phosphorus grenade, then ignite it.

Think you're confused. Cybertech only makes armor for droids. Form the sounds of it you are after Armormech.

I don't understand what everybody is moaning about. Either park at a spawn point and find one or do some dailies and buy one. Money is not hard to come by. Why does everything new in this game come accompanied with a huge pack of moaners. It is a vanity pet in a game, do you honestly care that much?

They didn't have to give you anything, trust me I have had much much worst customer service. Just stop finding things to moaning about. What did you expect a personal apology. What gets me about people like you is that you have a chip on your shoulder about what to expect from life. In general life is pretty crappy with every1 out to make as much as they can. This includes Bioware but at least they aren't taking things away. Stop being so naive and just play the game instead of moaning about it.

Wow, you need to calm down. Firstly there was no rudeness. Secondly it was meant as a joke. Thirdly it was phrased as a question .... go on read it again I can wait..... see. No offense but I honestly don't care about your personal details I was making a joke about your rash generalisation that people that leveled to 50 in under a week had no life. The rudeness you saw was actually from your post refelcted in mine. I did not say anything rude to you, as I said reread it.

So the player with "no-life" has friends to help them. Does that mean that you, presumably a player with a life, has no friends? I have friends, a girlfriend and all the trimmings and I still can level in under a week.

We are debating semantics. Your issue seems to be the word "loyal" and fine that was not the best word they could have used. The point I am making is simply that they are targeting a section of players that they want to keep a hold of because they have played everything and are still here, regardless of if they are likely to leave (though obviously this would also factor in their decision making). They call it loyalty, sure it's not the right word. Regardless of what they call it i can see the logic of their decision, even if the execution was not the best they could have done. Hundreds of pages over them not using a thesaurus is a bit much though

I understand the value of lower level play. I recently started on another server and am re-leveling my chars just because I enjoy the story so much. The point I was making is that regardless of how much you enjoy the lower level play, it inevitably leads to max level play. I actually enjoy pvp a lot more pre-50 as it doesn't require premades to win. The fact I prefer it does not mean I don't have a level 50. After all if I did not have a 50 already I wouldn't be able to know that I prefered it before level 50. I just think that from Bioware's perspective it makes sense that they want to reward those that they know are sticking with the game. You may love playing low level but in the end you will have a level 50 and may hate it. In this case they will be much happier having had your last months payment. The above is true in all cases other than cartman power levelling (somehow) killing boars. In this case you don't need to be high level
