Reading up on the patch, I kept wondering if respecs were going to be C-store only or if they would have a way to earn them in-game. Seeing that we get a free one, that we get one every rank, and that they stack was a pleasant surprise.
What about the rest?
I really don't have a problem with the additional character slots, name changes, or the races. Considering how much you can do with the character creator, it seems like you can just make one if you don't want to pay for it. Now, I don't know exactly what they are yet, but I may have a problem with the ship variants. I got into this game more for the ships than anything else, so having more options for ships is definitely something I am interested in.
But I think having to pay for them, while paying a subscription, is wrong.
First off, let me say that being able to earn anything in the C-store in-game, no matter how hard, will shut me up. I have no problem with some ridiculously hard, time-sink of a mission just to earn something simple. If someone does, they can pay real money and buy it off of the C-store. I just think a game with a subscription making these things microtransaction-only is taking advantage of its players. More and more I get the feeling that I am in a shrinking minority here, but that doesn't mean I am wrong or the practice is right.
