Yet, some posters feel entitled that they somehow deserve the 50, more than the rest of us scum right?
You quoted me and I responded and now you are attacking me again? Just like you did in your other post.

1) They have a full time job that takes more than the average 40 hrs/week
2) They have children and devote more of their time to the children than they do the game
3) They go to school full time and spend their time working on their education more than they do the game
4) Any combination of the above, as is my case (have kids, going to school, and work 50+ hrs/week)

First off they didn't have to give free days to anyone. The mere fact that you're so annoyed because you're not the target audience of BW's promotion speaks volumes.

You play the way you like. If you happen to get something for it, like say early access (which happened so long ago it's hard to remember all the way back to December), then all the better. If not, so be it.

Do you wish you had a 50 now? I hope not.

OP, very well said.

The exclusion of ranked warzones made me log into my account and mouse-over the unsub button for a while.
The free month, only to "loyal" subscribers, made me click that button.

I will check back next year around this time when swtor goes f2p.

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.


Last word says loyalty.
Not a valued Player.

Same boat, started early, no 50 as of yet, heh. Played since prior to day one and had a sub every day since then. I'm not sure what they were thinking. I can't be bothered to be too upset, it's just so silly. Now if only someone could be bothered to change it. Oh well.

Edit: Funny part is some of my friends who joined late are considered more loyal because they ran straight at 50.

not the big 3 letters aka key word!
Note that you're quoting the email that went out to only the recipients of the free 30 days.

The "one" that you're highlighting is in references to YOU being one of the many players that received the 30 days. It's not in reference to the player base as a whole. If it were, they would have sent that email out to all players to let them know about the Pet. They didn't.

Same here, but I am not complaining... they are welcome to the $15 a month for the ammount of entertainment I have had.
I have a bad feeling about this

To the people who didn't get it. You had half a year to level one 50. In early release the boost to exp in warzones was crazy silly. I don't understand how anyone could not have at least 50 at one point.
Because not everyone plays the same way. Some people level alts simultaneously. Some folks have very little free time. Some folks prefer crafting and socialising to leveling.

It takes all kinds in an MMO. The issue here seems to be the definition of "loyalty". I think had the free time been given to 50s under the auspices of "you guys have been patient and yeah, we goofed on ranking wz" so here.
