EA's CEO preparing the field for Microtransactions inside Swtor

In this Swtor statement, EA CEO John Riccitiello talks a lot about mmo Microtransactions and he mentions playing a game for 6 hours straight and having to pay 1 dollar just to re-clip your ammo (@24:40 of the presentation), should we be concerned at all?

These opinions sparked a Burst of 87 pages commentary in the official web-site's forums . The major problem with these statements is EA's CEO didn't clearly explain his thoughts of what Microtransactions he meant or if swtor will have Microtransactions.

There are many type of Microtransactions ,some of them affect player game ,some of them not.for example, items like special looking rings-earings ,dresses,mounts that do not give any extra stats, XP gain, etc and they are only cosmetics i don't think there is any gamer in the world that is against them.

But in other hand there are the items that do change stats, XP gain , fire power , armor defense .these items used a lot in free to play mmo games and they the reason that free to play many times cost more than these mmo with monthly fee.

As a veteran gamer i didn't support games that combine the two methods of microtransactions .It is a plain scam method to steal money from kids / stupid people that are innocents and i will wait to see EA's Responce on this EA's CEO statement that clarifies ceo thoughts.

Sorry EA and your president , you must choose between cosmetic micotransactions and monthly fee or free to play and miccotransactions that affect game experience ,and you must redefine your thoughts as soon as possible!

Any combination of these two situations will find us against you with what ever that means ...Even stop hosting this fansite and redirect all of our traffic to other mmo site or content.

P.M. I and my sister , the Light Side of the Force will fight against "Darkness" even we loose our opportunity to play Swtor ( as you seen i enjoyed a lot our custom Star Wars smileys )
