Obligatory reaction
At this point in time it should be fully expected. This game is goign to be marketed to the casual crowd. Those guys don't want to spend hrs grinding for loot, and frankly don't care about bragging rights and leaderboards.
They just want to jump in, have a blast with their mates, and jump out again. They WILL buy short-cut packs and booster packs - because they've already been condition by the mobile games culture to believe that this is how games work now. EA knows this and will capitalise on it.
Do you have to buy microtransactions? - No! You want to grind for your loot and keep your bragging rights and leaderboards - then go right ahead.
I'm just not surprised about it any more, we should be used to it by now. I just hope that nothing is kept behind a pay wall, and that every item or pack can be earned fair and square in game without having to fork out extra cash.
EA gonna EA

"Games On Net: In Battlefield games there has been the option to shortcut by purchasing the Engineer pack, or something like that. Is that going to be an option you guys are exploring for Battlefront with the cards?
Niklas Fergraeus: When it comes to any type of post-launch support we don’t have anything to talk about, but we of course want to support the game after it launches.
Does this mean there are micro-transactions in Star Wars Battlefront for sure?"
Sooooooo how does that confirm micro transactions? Sooo no, it means they will support it with DLC as in maps as that is already been confirmed, this article is literally baseless and reaching just for the sake of it.
As long as it's not pay to win I don't care.
