paying for cartel coins with real money doesn't make the game itself a hobbie just saying and as I stated in my previous post IMO thats my opinion

lol - Jealous? Of what ? That you are gambling real money to get a few vanity items in an MMO game? Sorry but Most ppl realise when things are a total failure. And they also realise when the few that fall for it think they are so smart that they can beat the slot machine.

Other than ofc destroy a perfectly great stories that should be the ways of gaining those items.Last edited by duster2; 2012-11-17 at 08:19 PM.

I personally think that this subject is a non-issue. The items in the packs are fluff. If people wish to gamble for fluff then let them, I say. Harmless fun imo.

The fact its a fluff actually makes it more of an issue than anything else. Fluff items should be just sold flat out in an ingame shop. This way Bioware is able to make more money and still offer fewer items over time that costs less to make. Next week they might add 2 new weapon skins into the existing packs. And the money wheel spinns again ....Great feature .... Originally Posted by Jamos77

What is beyond my understanding is how incredably naive and blind ppl are to what is actually going on. Like there are not bet sites and poker sites that offer first 10 dollars free to get ppl hooked ? Free cartel coins to throw at stuff? lol....
Random is never in the favor of the player. Its there for a reason. And if subscribers and fans of SWTOR really think this is in any way good feature to have.. then just wait next few months when more packs will become the way to make subscribers spend alot of extra money. Cause thats exactly how this works.

2012-11-17, 08:34 PM #33DeletedHave you considered the fact that maybe people aren't blind or naive...but simply don't care? You have made your opinion clear but you keep presuming everyone else cares about it. Some people will understand it's a form of gambling and gamble anyway. I spent $200 on the packs and I was fully aware I wasn't guarenteed any specific item. Didn't stop me and I am neither naive nor blind so how do you account for that? Originally Posted by duster2

Your still utterly blind what it actually does for the game. Thats the point you dont get. Its cheaper for Bioware to add 5 items into a random buy feature than to spend making real content. And thats why they add this. And somehow - you dont get it yet. Gratz. Originally Posted by Jamos77

To think this is a good feature ... oh ye... lets go back to the op post....
Gratz...WHY OH WHY did Bioware make Cartel Packs so damn addicting! I am struggling so hard to resist buying more coins just so I can get more packs..
Must...resist...Cartel Packs...

2012-11-17, 08:45 PM #36DeletedSounds like me when buying booster packs, never anything good xD Originally Posted by moff

There are alot that see what this feature stands for. It has nothing to do beeing frighten - it has to do with beeing smart and see what a future of a game brings when the developers fall this low instead of actually making a good game. Originally Posted by Mandible

The difference is that aslong as the meaningful stuff (NON FLUFF) is added solely via ingame mechanics I and many others don't care about the few fluff items being added to the cartel packs.

Well, hopefully the added income from the Cartel Market equals a better future for the game. And that is something I have no problem with (I don't play btw, waiting for BioWare to show some goodwill).

i had like 1600 or so cartel coins when i logged in the other day and i used them all on the more expensive box, the one with 5 items instead of 3. i got some really cool shit and ended up buying like another 1650 coins and was planning on saving it for a nice adative gear set once i hit 31 on my consular since i can get the hockey mask looking sith set. unfortunately i ended up buying more crates.
it is very addictive and im glad theyve got a decent system in place to continue to fund the game. i enjoy it and it appears lots of other people enjoy it. it may not have an impressive sub number but those numbers mean little to me if im enjoying the game. i think the people who are bad mouthing swtor are just doing it to be assholes. theres really no reason to come into a thread and bash a game you dont like. just my opinion
