Wait, you get a 1hr CD fleet pass if you have an authenticator?!! I must not have been playing the game these past 2+ months because I didn't even know this existed!

Best part: I live in the US AND have an Android phone!!!!

I guess I better start playing this game (I've already paid my sub) and get that authenticator.

I have the authenticator and have never bought any of the one use fleet passes off the vendor. I might start doing it. Useful? Sure, gets you to your destination 2-5 min faster. Necessary? Um, not by a long shot. If you think it is "necessary" and/or "required" please define the word "necessary" and/or "required" so everyone here can understand what you mean by it.

Because the group the uses that authenticator causes less cost to Bioware via a decreased rate of account hi-jacking and thus fewer Customer service issues. If you have an authenticator and use it, you are saving Bioware money (not each individual person, but as a whole group on average) so you get a bonus for doing so. What is your argument that you should get the bonus of saving Bioware money when you are not saving Bioware money? What is your reasoning, aside from "I want the benefit so I should have it?"

Everyone is equal..... just some are more equal than others, eh?

Sorry, but no.
By that same logic: You buy a regular edition of TOR and someone else buys a CE edition. They got a fancy statue and you didn't, so I guess that is discrimination too? Not everyone got the statue. To be forced to buy a CE to get a nice statue is discrimination. Everyone is equal... just some are more equal than others, because they paid the money/did the work/ ect whatever to get the additional item/content?

Discrimination: 1.The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race, age, or sex

There is no discrimination. If you think that this is discrimination against a social class then I hate to be the bearer of bad news but for thousands and thousands of years, the wealthy have always been able to obtain more than the poor.

The last time I read about the key gen for Android I believe it left alot of people unable to logon because they lost or broke their phone or it was factory reset. Is this still the case?

A 3-5 minute phone call can fix that for you if you have issues with/lost your key.

The reason I ask the above questions is because of this line-
Quote:
Please note that you may be charged by your provider for making an international phone call, and charges may be based on the country from which you place the call.
To be fair I think its a free call number for the UK but I dont like to take things for granted. and I know now the service is 24 hour.
