How about they just wanted to say thank you to all the level fifties that have stuck with the game while waiting for the new content? Insane, I know, but, well, there it is.
Too much of a coincidence. Why only people who have level 50's? There are people who have played since the first day of Early Access who don't have lvl 50's... are they not one of their most "valued customers". Seriously?

Your belief that BW is some completely unusual company that never makes mistakes and then tries to cover them up to their customer base is astounding. Trust me, I have been in the corporate world for a long time (20+ years), these kinds of things are not uncommon. Its far from a conspiracy theory. Its called "spin control".

Comes down to some VERY UNGRATEFUL plebs. I would love to see BW revoke the free 30days. I cant recall in my lifetime in playing an MMO where a company has given there player base a WHOLE free month.. Again some are SO ungrateful they NEED a reality check.. Seriously!

I can't recall, in my lifetime, where an MMO has based loyalty and value on character level.

I've been here since before (was in beta) the beginning, payed my subscription fee every month and have played the game exactly like they said it should be played (lots of alts and story).

Yet, the guy who joined two weeks ago, power leveled to 50, and has yet to even pay a dime in subscription fees is the one labeled as being "the most valued" and "loyal".

Sorry, but that is insulting.

I think that they are buying some time, that will give them the necessary time to lauch RWZ during this free month.

I think that they will take this time to make some new content that might improve 1.2 like 1.1.5, they might give us 1.2.1 in which RWZ come out.

I don't think we have to feel insulted, they are trying to save their subscriptions. If RWZ pop out and turned to be really competitive it could be good for the game's health.

Let's be positive and think positive.

For those who don't have a 50, well i understand your frustation but most people who played since the beginning have a 50 (i do i didn't rush it but 2 weeks are enough).
So bad luck and maybe they will try to fix it out, they are working on how to repair their mistake and i hope they will use this extra-time to developp content on 1.2 and not only wait for 1.3 cause ths RWZ matter was really a huge mistake.

I am personnally happy with these 30 days free ^^.

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!
Right. Explain that to my best friend who pre-ordered the game day 1 it was available (months before I did in fact). The only reason he does not have a level 50 yet is because of you know that little thing called real life... like a family and 2 small kids. Who paid a sub fee even tho he didn't play for 2 months cause the game was just to buggy. Ya sure he'll understand.

Personally I think anyone who has been with game since day 1 regardless of toon level should get this time for putting up with so much BS.

Clearly 1.2 didn't bring people back like they thought it would.

Legacy system is a joke nice to see that the 100's of hours of gameplay I put in comes with rewards with a hefty price, seriously it's ridiculous the cost of some of the legacy unlocks.

No rated warzones umm thanks for that btw.

Nice to see the new lowest tier of pvp gear has better pvp stats then the champ gear I spent so much time farming, that's just awesome. "oh well derp we balanced it out, the champ gear has better dps stats derp derp" Ya rather have the better expertise personally since the damage you take in pvp is absurdly high

All in all, good work Bioware! (that was sarcasm btw)
