Nah you won't get that, more like the truly cynical people who'll say: "Self serving jerks, should've got it right the first time! Probably did it this way on purpose so you can get everyone angry and then flip the switch to look like a company that actually cares, in an attempt to attract even more people back to your villainous game". Oooo sneaky indeed.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=410458 well done Bioware, well done.

i truly applaud your integrity. You could've just as easily ignored those who raised concerns and they may have stayed anyway, although I already qualified for the initial promotion it is very comforting to see such an adjustment for those others.

Up the game! Everytime you read someone type $15 take a drink.

I actually copied and pasted what was said, and still says on the website, and provided a link, haven't heard from him since, logic and facts truly are kryptonite to trolls.

Ah but do you need to know how to count if the system does the counting for you?

Actually I'm not lying, so if you need to have it spoon fed to you here you go: As a thanks for being one of our most valued players, all active subscriber accounts with a Level 50 character as of April 12, 2012, 12:00 PM CDT, 5:00 PM GMT, will receive 30 days of game time** at no charge in appreciation for your support and loyalty. Added some colour to help you out. Need the link too? http://www.swtor.com/legacypromotion?sourceid=eag3621 And unlike some of the others who don't have a 50, I have 2 50s, but I still have the capacity to appreciate where some of my fellow star wars fans are coming from. Think you can handle processing all that? So before you keep spewing your baseless insults behind the protection of anonymity, perhaps you should review all the facts available to you.

And the funny thing is in your summary you fail to see the fundamental flaw with what you've just typed. Just look at it this way, just a very simple question, do you see a difference between the following statements? "If you don't have a level 50, you don't qualify." vs "In order to thank our most loyal and active customers we would like to offer anyone with a level 50 character a free 30 days". If you do not see the difference in those two statements you will never understand where the people who are complaining are coming from. If you can see the difference, then you should know it's not about $15, then hopefully you can see the underlying complaint that's being lobbied here.

Must be nice to be that ignorant that you can't grasp the concept of principles

Hey Bioware, hint hint, if you don't want to give 30 free days to all those players with no 50s but a ton of alts, give em a fully rested exp state. Blizzard did that a lot during the vanilla days and I loved it lol.

Well that can pretty much end this thread. I think majority will be happy so long as they acknowledge how their message can be perceived and address it. I think a lot of companies take apologies and acknowledgement of inconvenience for granted.

Just a comment on business model which do you think a game developer wants to stick around longer. #1 A paying customer who has finishes all game content moments after launch and then starts screaming for more. And when they don't get it they threaten to quit. or #2 A paying customer who doesn't complete game content and is satisfied exploring the existing content that's already been developed. Well from a business perspective I can tell you which keeps the company more in the black and which requires less resources to support. That'd be number 2 for those that can't figure it out. And that further adds to the confusion of why BW/EA chose to upset the 2nd group with this promo. Comparing another successful business, do you think WoW even blinked when all those top end guilds left the game because the end-game content was so ridiculously easy, and no new content was coming in the foreseeable future? No, and why was that? Cause they still had 12million + subscribers happy and willing to continue to pay for the stuff that's already there! And unlike WoW this game at least offers different storylines and perspectives when you play through 1 - 49. With WoW it doesn't matter what class/race you play, your lvl 1-85 experience will be largely identical.

And I don't think anyone complaining is looking for your sympathy. And since you're not really impacted either way none of it really matters to you. However if you were in charge of a business relying on the paying customer your opinion may change.
