The title is pretty meaningless now, however, if you and/or the game is still around in 2-3 years, most of the people poo pooing it here will be wearing it with a little more pride.

So, a better gift might have gained them more resubs because people that are planning to "come back in a few months" very well may have stayed if they knew they'd be missing out on something nice. Free or not, a "founder" title that no one will use because every class gets better titles is pretty useless.

Oh, dude, cry me a river. People were screaming for beta invites. These boards were almost nothing but QQ over "this other guy got a beta invite and I didn't!" for months before this game launched.

Don't even try not make people feel sorry for you because you got a beta invite.

When people talk about "entitlement issues," that's the kind of thing they're talking about. Honestly, "Feel bad for us beta-testers. We got something for free that hundreds of thousands of people wanted, and now Bioware isn't giving us more free stuff for accepting it?" That's a little sad.

I will wear it, and in a few months when I start seeing posts about how it's not fair that the title isn't available to people anymore and how it creates a divided have and have not player base...I will simply laugh, grin and shake my head about how silly people are on the internet.
A fool no matter how powerful is still a fool, and must be dealt with accordingly

The title was a nice gesture, display it or dont. If your that upset go back to your "Jenkins" title. The world is really full of whiners, geeze!!

Quoted of SWTOR Forums: can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will be boxed after sword is out.

You're assuming the point of this -was- to increase resubs, and then argue that it's a terrible way to do it.

You're right. Offering people a title -would- be a terrible way to get people to resub. No one is going to keep playing a game because of a title, no matter how cool the title is. Which is why it should be obvious that this wasn't a retention scheme in the first place.

It's simply a "thank you" gift for those who took the plunge to buy the game early, rather than waiting for the bugs to be ironed out. Nothing more, nothing less. If you seriously think Bioware is planning on getting something in return for this... I don't know what to tell you, man.

Yep. They could have given us...something. Although I think working knowledge of the game was enough- mere personal opinion there. Certainly more valuable than the Founder title (which is sitting in my mail too as of a few hours ago, it seems); not knocking it, though, the title. Gift horses and all that.
