Yesterday, I wrote about SWTOR's 12x XP bonus for class missions. In that post, I mentioned that I'd like to see that boost in the Cartel Market. So the question is, how much is it worth? I'd like to see it at 1,200 Cartel Coins per character. That comes out to be around $10. Not coincidentally, it is around the same price as a book.
BioWare could also go the route of rewarding the boost in the game. On Twitter, two different ways were mentioned. One was the boost could be a legacy level 50 reward. My only problem with this is that a lot of folks at that level may already have full grown alts. So it may not be very useful.
The other idea was to split the bonus among leveled classes. So when you reach 55 on a Trooper, you get a 3x boost. Once you level four, you have the full 12x boost for the other four. I think this is a better idea than the Legacy level, but it still wouldn't benefit me fully.
So I am going to be selfish and stick with the Cartel Market. I estimate BioWare would get $60 worth of Cartel Coins from me if they added this to the store at $10 a pop.

How much would I pay?
