    Done most of the MLK stuff and got my 5th gen Light saber and got 7 outta the 10 holocrons towards the master cloak. I wasn't happy about giving up my Jinsu hilt cause I don't have a good crafting tool for making my saber but I'll use my republic saber until I make the new Hilt.

    It's a shame I had to do the Kash content which involves going into space now because I hate that :( For some reason it says I only have 58 months on SWG for veteran rewards even though I put the cd key in on day one.

    
     

    Might be a bug for Veteran rewards or that the fact that you didn't pay for those 58 months.

• • Why SOE and players should acknowledge SWG/TCG loot cards as gambling.

  • Again, not disagreeing that there is some sort of gambling element to the TCG.

    I mean, almost 80% of the people who interact with CotF are people trading the cards for Boosters and/or Loot cards only only that whatever is left other then Loot cards from the new boosters are being traded for more of the same.

    However, the other 20% are just collectors or players themselves.

    However, you know how it is here in the states. What ever way someone can earn some cash by confronting with a lawsuit/complaint they will do it.  Unfortunately, I don't think it matters with SOE. As they're covering their asses very well with their EULA.

    The only sense I can see is that you're 'renting' a virtual product that you can do nearly anything you want with it, however if SOE themselves see it outside of the EULA they can terminate your play.

    Where I'm coming from with this is that it really can not be considering gambling when you do not own anything on what you're paying for. With gambling, if you get something, you keep it.

    nowutimene?

  • I know what you're saying it's not bad that it's considered gambling, however, why does this affect you?

    Why should everyone consider it gambling?

    Sure, I paid nearly 150 USD for all the packs I bought, but it has nothing to do with the loot cards. I'm an determined TCG player and well, just something that makes cards valuable to me. Add that on top of the years I spend how many thousands of dollars on Magic cards and among various other TCGs.

    Out of all the money I spend, I'm not guaranteed a great card or anything I need to construct a deck. All this can be considered gambling but however, why so wrong?

    Again, I'm just curious as to why this bothers you.
