Thoughts on Galactic Strongholds

[Johnny Sea Slasher]

So the most recent Digital Expansion to SWTOR, Galactic Strongholds has been out for almost a month now. Subscribers have been able to see the pack in it's full glory, being able to decorate and buy your own houses. Non-subscribers have been able to visit others' houses, participate in Guild Conquests, and experience guild ships. Starting tomorrow, preferred access players will be able to access the full features of the expansion, with free to play players getting access in October.

All players have been able to experience the expansion in some capacity this past month, so my question to you is, what do you think? Do you like the addition of housing to the game, do you wish there were more customization options? What do you love? What do you hate? What would you have done differently?

The housing is most obviously a money sink made for higher up players that just want to blow some cash. It's nice and all and fun if you're into the whole house making thing but there's little to no point to it outside of blowing money. I got a free house since I was a sub when they were handing out the free Nar Shaddaa houses so I can't really complain but for anyone who is Preferred/F2P? I would say they should steer clear and far away from this very obvious money sucker.
