Some players really discount the use of the quickslots. For me it's a deal breaker. You cannot play with 24 quickslots unless you only like playing through the game halfway. The number of quickslots available before the free to play option kicked off is not enough. I was having to choose which abilities and items I wasn't going to use because there wasn't enough room. If you don't think it's important, try playing a mid to high level characer without them. It would be like playing Halo with a Sega Genesis controller. Possible, yes, but fun, not really.
I can deal with limited saved characters, low amount of PvP time, last to que, and some others, but the low number of quickslots is not acceptable. You have to be able to play your character. At least let the Cartel Coins buy more quickslots for your account, not for individual characters. If subscribers are paying to play, they shouldn't have to buy quickslots at all. Subscribers had 48 quickslosts for any characer they played, and now the have to pay Cartel Coins for quickslots for EACH character. If I was a subscriber, I would feel like I was getting less for my money in this regard. This is one reason why I don't subscribe anymore. Current competing MMO's, and those soon to be released, offer more and cost less.
