By the way, the people who pre-ordered and the ones who bought the game on release and were there on day one made your " successful launch". So even your reward prerequisites are full of crap and show the truth of this being nothing but a pathetic attempt at keeping people from dumping you.

And since I entered a pre-paid card when I registered the game ( like I'd give you my CC details ), I expect I'll see this nice shiny bauble on my characters as they wait for their remaining 67 days to dry up.

Are you negative nellies telling me that you have all cancelled already? This is really a great gesture.

Obviously, I'll prefer battlemaster - but this is just as good.

Yeah this ^^^^^^. I mean, i appreciate the thought behind it and suspect this was in the works before today, but given what is going on right now this is going to look at best like like misdirection or, worse, like you are trying to placate an angry customber base with a token reward in the way you give an angry toddler a lollypop just to shut him up.

I mean, I just saw a thread in which several of your "founding members" are having technical difficulties unsubscribing. I want TOR to succeed, but even if some of the people posting sound like they are young children not getting their way, in reality they are consumers who, for the most part, want a roll-back (not a lolly).

This may not seem like "constructive" feedback at first glance, but I really am trying to be helpful to you and explain this: for the moment, this reward you are throwing your player base is going to seem offensive, like you are throwing us a bone. It's not a bad idea, but the timing is way way way off.

I hope I am wrong and no one is offended, but i doubt it.

LMAO!!!! Seriously......... a medal for those who will pay 14.99$ for their second month!

Thinking about it... if you pay 14.99 to suffer another month in this game, you truly deserve a medal!!

Those of us sticking around because we like the game and realize that the flaws will be addressed are laughing up our sleeves.

The ponces who flounced out with their fists balled up, tears streaming from their eyes and teeth gritted in futile rage about being disappointed by yet another MMO that could never meet their unrealistic expectations are going to absolutely lose their minds.

This thread will be epic.
Wanting a working game and hoping they actually fix stuff with their patches rather than breaking it is truly, truly outrageous.
