The Cathar Race is Bioware chose this method.
Eric Musco, SWTOR Community Manager clears up some misunderstandings about the Cathar race coming to SWTOR:
Hey everyone,
There is clearly some frustration around this but I believe there are also some misconceptions about Cathar and our intent for subscribers so I wanted to hopefully clarify some of that for you. One thing we have stressed before and one thing we will continue to do with the Cartel Market is to not use it as a method for pay to win.
Cartel Coin grant.
What I think is a misconception is that this is setting a precedence that we are going to take things away from subscribers. I cannot stress enough that this is simply not something we ever intend to do. The features and functions that you players at a disadvantage for not spending money, AKA not implementing pay-to-win.
One thing I do want to call out for Game Update 2.1, which you will see more details on in the future (from both us and from preferred status player.
I know that just the principle that subscribers are being charged for Cathar is causing some of your frustrations, but I hope that I could at least explain a bit about why and to help alleviate any concerns that we would ever take something away from subscribers.

So there you have the official word. The issue with most players seems to be that comes out in the game.
This might not be such an collector’s edition and now to be nickled and dimed for every single new feature that comes out in the game is frustrating.
Players argue that they should not have to pay for minor cosmetic players who feel like Bioware is just trying to suck all they can out of gamers.
What are your thoughts on the issue?
