Life's not fair. They in all likely hood will give you what you want. I hope it costs so much the next patch doesn't come out for 5 months because of the lost revenues. Be careful what you wish for.

It's so funny listening to people bad mouth those people without lvl 50's. Let's turn this around a bit and see how you like it.

"We would like to thank our most loyal player's "The Raiders" with free 30- day game time."

or how about ...

"We would like to show appreciation of our most loyal player base the PVPers with free 30- day game time."

or how about ...

"We would like to show appreciation to our most loyal player base the ALTaholics that haven't even lvled to 50 yet with free 30- day game time."

See the problem is you just excluded part of your player base based on how they play the game. Which is fine if you had told the player base hey this is how you should be playing the game.

I never got that memo from Bioware...
Ebon Hawk: Grimjax (Merc/55), Bloodshard (Assa/40), Accusator (Jugg/49), Zeroth (Oper/55), Nihlus'jen (Sorc/55), Kolbain (Sent/55),

I don't get it.

The only logical conclusion is that I am neither valued nor loyal in Bioware's eyes.

Come on people. This was done because they pulled ranked warzones on the day of the patch and people had re-subbed and or were holding out for this addition. Since they delayed it, it was either deal with a bunch of QQ from people wanting their money back for not implementing the promised features or take some effort to fix it. Giving the 30 days free was a way to keep these people hanging on since their content was not delivered as promised. They had to draw the line somewhere, and being level 50 is really the only indication if someone was going to play ranked warzones when it was supposed to be released.

I think we all can say that this is a bribe to players on lvl 50 to not quit the game.
No matter if small of high. It is still a bribe.

Oh I guess you run an MMO business. All you have said is endgame is most important providing endgame feedback is most important all other feedback pre 50 is not and therefore level 50 are more valuable., listen to yourself. If you looked at things with a more open mind I wouldn't have to constantly waste my energy replying to a brick wall.

If you don't the get fundamental issue regarding the many complaints in this thread, then don't reply, no one is going to say that you are dumb.

Level 50s given free time = Fine.
Level 50s being given free time because of their level judging them as "most valuable" = Not fine.

You disagree, that's cool. I do not hate SWtoR. I do not hate BW. I do not hate EA. However, I do hate the way this "promotion" was worded.
So in other words, you merely need an excuse to feel somehow slighted, by accident or on purpose. It doesn't matter. Your acting like a child in a department store. Maybe I should get mad at World of Tanks, because they gave a free tank to those that already had that one when they did their 7.2 update, and I only had the tier bellow so I didn't get anything. Makes sense. I WASNT LEVEL 50!

Then you are not playing this game for the right reasons if certain members of the community get something you don't. If you expect to get rewarded for something that is not a constant reward then you are not playing this game for the right reasons. Did I get the free 30 days? Yes, so did my wife. Would I have been upset if I didn't? Not at all, the fact that you are disheartened about it tells me that you have a sense of entitlement and refuse to acknowledge that BioWare cares about it's player base to begin with.

"Due to the fact that Rated Warzones had to be removed from this patch, all level 50s will be granted 30 days free game time to give us the time to rectify this issue."

And most people wouldn't have had an issue.
