If you can show me where I said I had "proof", I'd be more than willing to see it. Don't worry, I'll continue waiting for that and your evidence to the contrary of what I've said. I.E. Show me the benefits they've implemented for the subscriber with this particular implementation of "content". Or how the Cartel Market is "content" for the subscriber. Show me how I can possibly interpret what we've all seen in the same manner that you are. Explain why the Cartel Packs have far better looking armor than currently in game along with better mounts ("Pleasure skiffs" vs. "Shitty Blue Eyeball").
Nobody insinuated that you're a fanboy. I merely said that you are wearing some very rosy shades if you can't possibly see the validity of the arguments presented. Many of which are extremely well thought out. Personally, I've acknowledged your side and have said that I understand the thought process. From what I've seen from your responses, the same can't be said for you.
Yes. I understand business thoroughly. I also understand that no other F2P MMO in business currently has this type of horrid content outside of STO. Not LotRO, TSW (which is also an EA game), DCUO, DDO, etc. All of the actual content from these companies are IN game for their subscribers. This does nothing but benefit those who spend extra money to buy these packs. And it isn't conjecture to say that this is a cash grab. What else would it be for? Shits and giggles?

There's cosmetic armor that you can purchase with credits that nobody else (including subscribers) would have access to.
