Should have given 30 days to everyone subbed since release

I SERIOUSLY love people like you. People like you don't get what you want, so you go ahead and put words into Biowares mouth. They did not say ANYWHERE that you weren't a valued customer. If they thought you weren't a valued customer they wouldn't have given you a free taun taun. They look at the Level 50's who've done content numerous times, countless hours into mains, and more. If you haven't achieved level 50 thats your own fault. But, for us 50's who've been waiting for new content since month 1 we've been grinding ever since but we're still here.

Have to say this is a shocking decision by bioware.

I pre-ordered ages ago. Got special edition. Played from early access and paid for a load of months all in one go.
I started off on one server and got to lvl 30, then it became obvious the server was not going to be popular so re-rolled on another server and got to lvl 29. Then found out friends were on a different server and again re-rolled. Now that char is lvl 38.
I am not one of those "must rush to the end" type of players, I like to look around and take my time.
By doing it this way is a slap in the face to players who have been here from the start and have had to re-roll a few times to find their perfect server.
It should be for everyone who played from the start and has kept their account active.
If this doesn't change then I won't re-sub when my 4 months of pre-paid playtime is up as if the game is designed to be elitest then might as'well go back to wow....

You don't get it do you.

Here is the original quote:

Where does it say that the non-50`s are less loyal, again?

Where did bioware use the word loyal when announcing this free 30 days?

Where do BioWare say this is for Loyal players? My email says:

You are one of our most active and valued high level players and we know you have been waiting patiently for Game Update 1.2: Legacy. To show our appreciation, check out all the great new features this update has to offer-on us. We will be adding an additional 30 days of game time to your account at no charge*

Nothing about Loyalty. Active & Valued high level player, sure. No loyalty.

I am a huge fan of this game, and have been playing quite happily since release week. I'm on a 90 day sub and have no plans to cancel (in fact, I think I'm going to up to 6 months before my next billing). All that being said, I was extremely disappointed in this decision. I just got my first toon to level 50 last night. Yeah, maybe it took me a little longer. But I had the following toons at the cutoff (noon CDT yesterday):

49 commando
48 sage
42 vanguard
35 mercenary
32 gunslinger
30 sorceror
28 sentinel
22 shadow
21 sniper
15 guardian
12 scoundrel

And somehow, according to this decision, I'm not as loyal a customer as a person with a single toon at level 50? I've been involved in the community, run heroics all the time, flashpoints whenever possible, am active in my guild. Yet somehow, 334 levels across all my toons means I'm somehow less loyal than someone with 50 in 1 toon.

I'm not going to quit over this, I like the game far too much for that. But shame on you, BioWare. This is a terrible decision. As much as I like your game, my opinion of BW has dropped significantly.

As a thanks for being one of our most valued players, every active account with a Level 50 character as of April 12th, 2012 at 12:00PM CDT / 5:00PM GMT, will receive thirty (30) days of game time** in appreciation for your support and loyalty.

not the big 3 letters aka key word!

I do agree with the level 50's that stuck it out with crappy bugs and content and still stayed and remained loyal to the game, should be recognized.

However I do not agree they are the most loyal and the "wording" of the promotion was wrong.

It's not the I want I want I want …I could care less about a pet that will eventuallyl be made so everyone can get it at some point and someone will whine about that down the road. The 30 days free, meh 15 dollars is not the issue … issue is the "wording" making those who have been loyal go " ***" all it takes to be loyal to a game is a max character and a bunch of " no content at 50 posts?" I am soooo playing the game wrong then.

This usually happens when people don't read and understand the issue(s) and jump in with their 2 cents. Ignorant is bliss.
