In short, a very rare item, that previously could drop from one of Cartel Packs, can be bought for next week directly from Cartel Market for 7600 Cartel Coins (5500CC pack costs $39.99 and 2400CC pack costs $19.99 - 60$ in total, with 300 CC leftover).
Seems they are testing how far they can go with prices, they even openly acknowledge the price is high and its aimed at whales: "It’s a lot of Cartel Coins, but this sale is directed at those players who have the resources to acquire the item.".

if you can say every 100 cc is = to 1 million credits then any weapon of similar effect would be around 76 million.
yet they sell for around 17 million to now almost 30 million jump in price. Still under valued.
Write bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble
Unfortunately you can't hear weapon sound effects when you preview the item in game, as this has to be one of the worst sounding lightsabers in the game.
A full quality game that takes 3-5 years to make with 100+ employees costs 60 bucks,a virtual item than takes one person less than a day to make is something that should simply be earned in game and carry ZERO real life value.
Every time i see or hear of cash shops,it is two thumbs down to that developer.Imo if you need to supplement our game by selling to suckers,your game is not good enough,fix your game.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
