When you are scrambling because something didn't go well and you have a customer revolt, sometimes the decisions aren't well thought out. You are part of the "collateral benefactors".

thing is, how many players TOTAL do you really think cared about rwz's compared to how many cared about the lack of endgame PvE content, you'll probably find the rwz-carers are just a small percentage of 'kids' that care about 'i iz l33t awesome wtfbbqomgroflcopter!!!1!1111'

What about the lack of a LFG-tool, lack of user interface customization, lack of clothes-customization like the color matcher and all that? What about the entire Legacy system? 1.2 didn't just add Warzones. I really wanted the Legacy-system. That's a major reason why I have eight char's instead of just one. But because I have eight char's, I haven't had the chance to level one up to 50 yet.

Not only that, but I know from experience that I get bored once I reach max level, so I really take my time to enjoy the game instead. But I guess that doesn't count?

But if you were hanging on for ranked warzones and didn't get it... boom, big likelihood of cancellation.

If you aren't level 50, not having ranked warzones meant nothing to you. And if you have been playing since launch and still don't have a level 50, ranked warzones are probably not even in your future anyway.

Now, should they have given it to anyone that has the Founder title and still has an active account? Yes. But, were they scrambling and trying to stave off a host of cancellations as a result of pulling rwz's at the last minute... yes again!
Then someone should have had the courage to say that, and the deciding factor should have been something other than a simple "50", rather than this silly crap about "loyalty" and "value".

Does not compute. Try again.

Wrong!

There is no LOSS of ranked WZs, because they have NEVER been in the game.

1.2 launching without RWZ's was just a continuation of the status quo.

And that is really all this is about. I pay $15/month, you pay $15/month - we should therefore be treated equally and fairly.

As has already been mentioned numerous times completing Ch3 will cover you in legacy prizes also.

Dear Republic Chicken,

I was also looking forward to the legacy system. Then... I had a look at it. It's really a flop bare bones kind of deal. I can see that it can be expanded and that it can become very flexible but...

....


It's really really .. kinda... poo poo. I was hoping at the very least the combat log would be cool, but... they created it into some stone age thing where it can not be shown on the games UI. You have to literaly alt tab and open it from a .txt file.

It boggles the mind, its as if they had 2 different teams working on building a house from the roof down.
