After participating in the beta, I just plain dropped the game. The stuff and options they give to players who pre-order or buy the Imperial Edition is just plain ridiculous.
I agree with all of the above as well. But the major thing that made me avoid this game after playing the beta quite a bit was learning that you could be any race on any faction...That just irked me to no end! The only race imo that should be allowed to choose would of course be the Imperial race(for reasons anyone who knows about the game would agree). Other then that all the races should of stuck to their respective factions. Not sure if I am in the minority to this...but that was the major reason I dropped the game.
