They expect people to download 30 or 40 gigs for a weekend pass? LOL! Keep on smokin that rock, fellas! With virtually every other MMO out there being F2P you'd think they'd realize that the client has to be cheap or free ASAP. Wait till GW2 arrives, then you'll see them scrambling to do some shit. However, It'll be too late after that regardless of what they do.
So when GW2 expects you to download the entire client for a beta weekend, that's "standard". When SWTOR expects you to download the entire client for a free weekend (SAME THING) they're "smokin that rock".
You sir, are a complete fucking tool.
