Originally posted by ImperialSun They never announced any of their other events too. The number of dissapointed people is...big...even fanbois were in disbelief...but but but...there will be an event in a week or so...there must be..., except few shills spout some nonsense. Just pop over to official forums, its a massacre, and thats with threads dissapearing lef and right :) Sorry that people put some faith in EA and end up in dissapointment. And im pretty sure Hickman announced Life Day event in one of the interviews, but he obviously didnt mean actual ingame event but who cares. People end up dissapinted becuase of their slopiness and inability to clearly communicate anything to their playerbase. So instead improving that they go to silence/ignorance mode. How stupid is that? THATS the problem with them. |

Any game that allows you to buy game gold with real money through their cash shops wins hands down as the saddest game when it comes to cash shops. How can you compare that to any other game? |

Ps2 has the best f2p model imo. No pay 2 win. Sub option for hardcore players to advance quicker, boost options for casual players to advance quicker.

Originally posted by hockey98 You can stick stuff up from the cartel market on the GTN, there is very little difference. I made a ton from my 2k + cartel coins I had last month. |

Originally posted by SendenOriginally posted by hockey98 I would say there is a difference and that would be your not guaranteed anything when you try to sell an item. When you straight up buy gold directly from the game store you are guaranteed. |

Originally posted by Senden It just annoys me that GW2 implements a shameful holiday based cash grab at Halloween and everyone thinks Anet rock. EA/BW do the same but apparently it makes them the worst company ever...
If you are referring to P2Win then you have the option to grind out the ship comps in game....if you are then going to say its too much of a grind, how come the best PVP / Raid gear takes a couple of months farming to acquire? Should the best ship gear in game not equally take a month or so of farming to acquire? Really dont see the probloem, its not P2Win if you are not playing against anyone and best in game gear should require some degree of effort IMO.

It's not pay to win but it's about as close as you can get to it. I agree that the best gear should take a while to farm however now you don't have to take that time, instead you can just spend cash to get it and that is where the problem lays for me personally. I personally don't care too much for GW2 however Arena Net took the time to build an enviable rapport with their fanbase and regularly do stuff like participate in community podcasts.It's not surprising that many fans feel the need to defend them when they take the time to make them feel valuable.

Originally posted by ImperialSun I dont really see how the ship items are P2W. If you want them great buy them..but buy a pass too...otherwise your only using them 3 times a week. Not like the space game has any bearing, really, on the "main" game. No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin |

Originally posted by apocoluster Except that you will be limited to 6 and will have to buy 2 slots to have access to all 8 (or sub). Yes, its coming :) Originally posted by hockey98 No theres no difference, you convert real money to ingame currency, just the merhod is different, and in SWTOR you CAN actually buy best mods with credits. |

Just when you think EA/Bio can be no more moronic , that interview posted a few back and the quote from the official post on the forums is pure comedy gold.
SWTOR continues to be a 101 course in what not to do in mmorpg development and management. Bioware has gone from Baldur's Gate days to being the joke of the mmorpg world. Bit sad , while still amusing to watch the comedic ineptness reach new heights also. And at the same time TSW in one swoop shows the opposite of how to do a no sub model that makes EA look even more moronic. Just keeps getting better. |

yea they banned me from forums, while andryah get to continue to spin EAs moneygrab the market was ready for a STAR WARS MMO,,they made it , and sold it stupidly enough, i bought it,,a waste of of money after the 2 week honeymoon, this game only has lightsabers left,,and theyre bugged too their "space missions" is a joke,,look at STO some of the stories was good,,,but mostly it was star trek episode quality if this game cost 200 mio to make,,i wonder how much of that went DIRECTLY into EAs own pockets maybe ill play a EA game again,,but not withoui at least 14 days trial the STAR WARS IP has suffered a lot because of this,,GG EA |

Originally posted by simplius Andryah is one of the very few I put on ignore long ago and never missed it since then. You just can't discuss with this person. Reading his posts was a pure waste of time. Back to TOR, please don't blame EA for TOR. I mean well blame them for not having stepped in the game management earlier as well BioWare wasted milions of dollars without supervision from EA and delivered poorly in the end. |

I'm not surprised they don't make events around the cartel coin merchandise, because many players would complain that previous events didn't require the spending of cartel coins. I think anytime they link the game in a material way to the cartel coin market, it will really annoy people. Second, let's all be honest and recognize that the game needs to make more money to justify the cost of making it, so it's no surprise that they have done a lot of things to encourage people to spend money on cartel coins. What needs to be done is to encourage the developers to make the game better like an Ilum revamp and more balance between the DPS classes and better frame-rates and see if they can get their paid subscription numbers higher. Unfortunately, history isn't with them because once players leave, they don't often come back even after the game has been improved. |

i dont blame EA alone,,i know BW dropped it too,,,but it was unde EA management knowing that EA have so many resources,,they should have waited another year and finished the core game BEFORE launch,,then they could have made the biggest cash cow in MMO but greed,,or cautiousness mad ethem cave to investors, and put it out as it was the results are as we see it now,,a dying game on life support, while the fanbois are egostroking each other,,some of them have have been whining about SWG from day one and when the next SW MMO is out,,be sure to to hear: "SWG pre CU was the the best game EVER" "no, that sucked, CU was WAY better" "WRONG,,it COULDNT have been better , than SWtor" perhaps third time is the lucky one,,but those guys will try to ruin it from launch |
