No, I am not thinking about wow gold. In SWTOR, you make an insane amount of credits. By level 20, if I just did BGs the whole time, I would have roughtly 50-100k credits. Just from doing pvp. That's a lot. By the time I get to the point of buying my speeder, without ever touching a profession, I will have enough credits to buy it several times over.6K? lol. At higher levels each skill can cost up to 48K to learn. Speeder 2 (and the mount) is 235K, speeder 3 (and mount) is like 365K. There are numerous speeders that are 1.5MM credits. When I die now my repair bill is over 2K credits. My missions are costing me 2K per run and I can send 5 guys out at a time, so that is 10K per run. If I get an epic mission it is 3,500 per run
6K is nothing. If you are thinking in WoW gold, divide by like 1000, so your 6K is like 6 gold in WoW
A gold sink is supposed to leave you nearly broke without spending a lot of time doing professions. Considering your crew can take care of profession tasks for you, yes, it is insanely easy to get credits. If I translated the amount of credits I have earned thus far in comparison to wow, I should have probably 500 at the most.

Don't hate my rig, there's nothing quite like the classics.
Pretty sure you've just contradicted yourself.. If you level your crew skills as you level (and don't run Slicing) you will have money problems - especially mission skills (which are essential for the epic end-game crafts) An example to go from 250 --> 251 in Diplomacy it would cost me 1200 per mission, thats a lot of credits. Actually playing your character properly you will find the personal economy bang on. So anyone abusing bugs to get millions of credits are giving themself an insane advantage and skewing the economy for all.
If you consider 1 credit = 1 copper, 100 credits = 1 silver, and 10K credits = 1 gold, I'd say SWTOR ends up be a fairly realistic equivalent of conversion between the two games.
50-100K credits = 5-10 gold at level 20.
Seems like a decent place to be, IMO.
People need to stop looking at leading zeros and assume it's a "huge" amount of money simply because it has a few 0 behind it.
Everything is relative.

I will post whether they did or not later tonight when I log on. I know people who did the trick with the vendors. Even if they take the money from them will they reset the crew skills across all their toons? Take their 230k speeder training and that damn boat they fly?
