I don't have to agree with everything happening in the game. Their "cash-event" and the current ship parts aren't really something I was expecting and I do feel worried about. However, I won't go apeshit towards Bioware regarding everything they've done because apparently I still have plenty of stuff I like in the game without being affected by what they did.
If someone would have actually thought about it... you can already buy the best gear in game with real cash money, the only thing to do is invest money, turn it over to ingame currency and buy mods = best gear with real money.
