I'm still confused on what's going on. I've had a sub since launch, and I have two level 50's, but there is no email or anything about free play time.

People have known for months that Legacy was coming and one would think that the hardcore people they're trying to keep would be leveling alts to take advantage of buffs etc. To say that level 50 people had no content to play is a total fallacy.

My money paid to Bioware so far :
SWTOR CE - $150
4 Months @ $15
_______________
$210


Money paid to Bioware of someone who leveled to 50, bought the regular edition, and only played for a month and then resubbed this month for the 1.2 patch and who is also getting the free 30 days. ~$75-90 (I'm throwing an extra month in just to boost the amount).

Money is loyalty, subscription time is loyalty. An arbitrary level that one can hit in a week by having absolutely no life is not loyalty.

Once again, those that say that the 50s deserve it due to lack of content are completely ignoring that there are 7 other classes to play each of which would feed into buffs for their primary character once legacy hit. It's just stupid.

So you are saying the only "valued" and "loyal" customer are the ones that dealt with the bugs at end game? So the ones that have been playing multiple alt, or have level slower are not?

Again, it comes down to the same thing. If BW had said that they were giving 30 days to the 50s because they have been dealing with so many bugs, the it would have been different. A prize for debugging, that's okish I guess. However, that is not what it says. That's not what it says at all.

Oh, and I did get to 50, and I did not raid, and I got my 30 days as well. So you are saying that since I did not deal with all the bugs, I do not deserve it either? Way to go...

I'm fine with this. I'm a little annoyed since I hit lv 48 two days ago, but I'll get over it. BiWare wasn't able to deliver something they promised so they're giving the people who were most going to use it something in compensation.

I don't get anything, but since I did get what I was wanting in the patch I'm not bothered. Honestly, people need to stop thinking that they're always owed something over every little thing they don't like.

level 50 accounts get called the most (one of w/e) and the loyal and valued. we get what? nothing. you see now? god. yes there is nothing here mentioned yet for us, and thats the freaking point!!

so far only people with level 50 characters have been called the most valued and loyal customers

get it through your head, they should have mentioned us, not asking for freebies, im asking for some bloody notice for the effort we have put in and not just in a number over our toons head !!!!!!!!

The story actually "ends" on Ilum... you should try it. Both factions have a really cool encounter at the "end" of Ilum that, I presume, sets up the interlude for continuation of your class specific story.

Those who link to explanations of logical fallacies (oft on Wikipedia) are odd beasts, indeed. It's always educational to read up on logical fallacies, but it's probably not going to sway anyone's feelings on the issue at hand.

There is indeed a false exclusionary disjunct at play with how many have interpreted "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.".

But human nature will find many reading that as "If you don't have a level 50, you're not a valued player." You can crow all you want about a logical fallacy, but that's not going to make everyone snap their fingers and exclaim, "But of course! Silly us, affirming a disjunct like that!"

This is a PR game. BioWare has made a bad PR move. It happens.

Same here. I bought 6 month sub out of the gates in December because I put my faith in Bioware. Never once complained about textures, lag, PvP, space combat, never once about anything. Ever. If that's not the kind of blind fan-loyalty that they want, what the heck is?

My wife and I play too, she is fighting cancer ( doing fairly well thank you ) but cannot play as often as she would like.

She has several toons and I keep toons the same level as hers.

We are going to happily pay our $30 ( combined ) with a smile on our faces and sincerely thank bioware for the enjoyment we have had from playing SWTOR

( and we aren’t getting the free month, but could care less about that )
I have a bad feeling about this
