This is Hands down best way to enjoy SWTOR for $5 budget

[ToxicFacts]

So i have mentioned in previous threads on Preferred Status and some of its perks. 99% of people will obviously say get a subscription, However sometimes a subscription is not an option. This is by far the best way to Enjoy SWTOR with a one time purchase for $5.

https://account.swtor.com/user/digitalupgrade

now this is a little dated considering their is one useful item i see from the package being the S.T.A.P. mount. you will receive these items to any character past or new you create on your account. now here are some of the perks available to a preferred status player that not many realise. you can trade credits and items starting at level 10. you get mail access starting at lvl 1, and are able to mail 1 item at a time except no mailing credits. iirc your get 2 extra slots on the GTN to sell items, might be more now with the new upgraded system to their FTP model.

in fact here is the link

Few other things to note about preferred is instead of only using green coloured items you are now able to use the upgraded blue items. Shadow of Revan is now free and the expansion i fully enjoyed. And now that you can have a 1m credit cap this alone allows you to unlock a lot more than you could previously with a more rooms in your Corascant Strong hold. and a Nice little vender who does sell the Ewok companion Treek on the Fleet for 1 million Credits with a level 40 Legacy. Think of preferred status as finding Easter Eggs in game in the way that. you will have perks that a strict F2P will not have access to. i am not going to spoil them all but there is enough to keep you busy for a long time. keep that in mind. TC.

EDIT: Before swathing through the entirety of this thread here is all you need to know to make an informed Decision on what is best for your play style Enjoy!!

The difference here is that F2P and Preferred has almost no difference at all if compared to before.

So again, keep your money to pay one month.

If you say so

To be 100% honest you don’t really need to spend more than the $5 one time fee to be able to get ALL unlocks and Cartel market items aside from the exclusive past rewards unlocked in collections. Needing to be a subscriber to this game is completely optional.

Dude, what can you not understand? YOU CANNOT PROGRESS ABOVE LEVEL 60 WITHOUT SUB. You will need to have the EXPANSIONS to go to the endgame and the only way to get the expansions is to SUB.

Cartel market are just COSMETIC and MINORS UNLOCKS.

You can look it yourself. The difference between f2p and Preferred are very tiny/can't even be bothered.

And liking it or not, once you hit level 60 you will have to sub to unlock the expansions, or else you will not play them and will not be able to advance to the max level.

The only way to have the expansions is to SUB. Why would you waste 5 dollars to get minors little half-assed conveniences when you will have to pay again to be able to get into endgame and once your sub runs out you will automatically become Preferred? Not to mention you will still keep all the expansions.

It’s called learning what can and cannot be done with this game and having the ability to understand that you can have 4 years of content for a sum of $5 and Then subscribing if you so desire I never said do not ever subscribe did I? I simply said that you can have a lot more with a lot less. You seem to not understand not everyone has had a chance to subscribe since alpha or beta or pre order and for what it’s worth I am passing on info from a perspective that in today’s world there is no need to over pay when you don’t have to

4 Years of content? Dude, you never played this game before right?

F2P AND PREFFERED BOTH HAVE THE SAME CONTENT! You are wasting 4.99 dollars FOR NOTHING when you will have to SUB to keep playing to the endgame and reach max levels.

You can get to level 60 in 2 days if you want.

You don't want to sub? Fine, but don't tell people to spend 4.99 dollars to get preferred when this will not make ANY legit difference for them.

No, the expansions are needed if you want to go above level 60.

Uh not everyone needs to hit Cap in this game to have fun you know, you have 8 story lines plus 20 complete worlds of side missions solo instances heroics, Stongholds, 10 matches of PvP and star fighter solo conquest star ship battles in rails and a host of other stuff BEFORE you get to 60

Then don't tell people to waste 4.99 on NOTHING. If you want to stay at level 60 so be it, you don't have to purchase the 4.99 pack to get any benefits because there are no good benefits from F2P to Preferred.

You obviously have not played a bare bones account and a preferred account have you? You do not know what your even talking about I have several bare bones accounts over 8 preferred and was subscribed on one for 6 years from launch so like I said you do not know what you are talking about...

Lmao dude, I'm free to play. I made 4 chars above level 50 in less than 2 weeks since they released 6.0 and i'm still F2P.

And I'll tell you, you DON'T NEED this pack to become preferred, if you want go become preferred, buy sub and get the content.

And no one cares about your unintelligent way of telling people on how to get most out of the game by buying crap 4.99 dollars package.

[Syad]

Gatuno is correct, the cheapest way to get the content is to sub for a month. And to _experience_ the content.. well you don't have to pay any money so that $5 is a trap

Thank you.

If they at least put in like 450 Cartel Coins in that 4.99 Dollars pack I maybe could consider it, but what you get?

A flare gun (emote)

A training Droid (which I think let you train skills without the need to go to the NPC? Please..)

HoloCam (wtf is this?)

HoloDancer (another crap emote/toy?)

A mount (mounts are not expensive, once you get out of the first planet, and reach level 20 as a F2P, you will have enough credits to purchase a 10k credits mount which has the same speed AS ANY OTHER MOUNT IN THE GAME)

Eh nice try, $4.99 a trap? Or $19.99-$29.99 on origin? How can $4.99 be a trap when to be really honest here and you have the mount alone on ever character account wide across all servers a trap?

Also are you really understanding the difference between preferred and f2p sprint at lvl 1 not lvl 10 mount at lvl 10 not lvl 20 access to mail legacy cargo one cargo normal cargo bay free 7 day subscription every 3 months that unlocks all content to level characters to 75 plus unlocks credit escro for $4.99 a trap??? Ok you win btw free to play doesn’t get any of that oh might I add the ability to trade to players at lvl 10 can’t do that as a free player Ever and the ability to send tells chat in general coms etc etc

[Syad]

A mount would be of questionable value even back in the day with how much a sub gave you, nowadays you get free mounts for like everything and progression is a breeze. And the rest of the pack is.. well..

Yes, I know that. I was talking about the "skipping the game for the endgame" part, pointing out that the expansions mostly add more stories than endgame content (I mean we're talking about some FP that have a solo mode anyway, a single OP and not much else, that barely qualifies as endgame content).

Edit: My bad, there's another OP on Dxun, it's been a long hiatus. Still not much endgame content compared to the story content unlocked through a sub.

????

1 Month in the website is 14.99, where did you pull this 19.99 - 29.99 crap? From the Deluxe Edition which is much better than your 4.99 strategy?

Lmao, you get from level 1 to 10 in 30 minutes.

Unlock credits? WTF?

Both F2P and Preferred have the same credit restriction which is 1.000.000. You are really dishonest holy cow.

"7 day subscription every 3 months that unlocks all content to level characters to 75 plus unlocks credit escro for $4.99 a trap???"

WHAT THE ACTUAL F IS THAT!? NONE OF THAT IS EVEN SLIGHT TRUE!

You can whisper players and talk in chat as f2p once you reach level 25. You don't really know what you talking about, jesus.
