Should have given 30 days to everyone subbed since release

Loyalty to the franchaise and being a valued customer to BW by purchasing their product - oh wait, according to BW they're not.

Your probably right, but it's such a blinkered action and it's just amazing they didn't seem to realise how much of a middle finger to half their playerbase this would be.

try again, please. better yet.. speak when you actually know what about.

It'll win if its aimed at an audience not smart enough to realise it doesn't actually work.

All The Best

I'm sorry but being level 50 does add value for bioware as their customer in this game.

Why?

Because at level 50 you can provide feedback about their endgame.

Let me give some examples.

My guildmate that has a lvl 50 asin, operative, and juggernaut

Can talk the devs ear off about what it's like to play those classes concerning: operations, hard modes, post 50 pvp, daily missions, clipping issues with level 50 gear, the rate at which you get pve and pvp gear, repair bills for gear over rating 124, etc.

People with level 50 characters are capable of giving the devs one of the most valuable resources they need to make the game better and that's endgame feedback.

Until giving endgame feedback at level 45 is possible, a person with a level 50 character with an active will be more valuable to the longevity of the game than someone with just an active subscription.

It's kinda weird that they give out this free month. They literally throwing away 10 million Dollars. I wonder if that was the brightest idea. The loyal customers are those who stick to your game even in bad times, not those who have reached a certain level.

They should stop their marketing approaches like silly videos about how to create a character or appearance at comic cons etc. A good product doesn't need marketing it lives through word of mouth.

Rather use this 10 million $ to employ some more people to fix bugs, implement in new races or other new content.

Replace age...with level.
So, what is the problem?
My mother has obtained level 63, I am only level 33.
Why is it fair for her to get a discount, but not me? I eat at a certain restaurant since it opened. She only started going there a few months ago. I should be the more valuable customer.
But she gets a discount...and I do not.
Clearly businesses only value senior citizens and not the rest of us.

It was a gift. Having a level 50 was the requirement (this time). Could they have made different requirements? Sure, but then people would still complain. They can't give it to everyone because that would be stupid. So this is what they came up with.

Just because you didn't get it (this time), does not mean you're not valued. It just means you didn't meet the requirements (this time). Just be patient they will do it again for another reason.

Sorry - every product needs marketing.
