I don't get it.

The only logical conclusion is that I am neither valued nor loyal in Bioware's eyes.
You didnt get a pet or a in-game title? If you did then you have no complaints. You have been recognized with a title NOONE else can ever get. You also get a free pet noone else can get. Yet you still are not happy? Unless you get it all and you get it now you arent valued?

Usually I am not one to complain, but this decision is ridiculous.
Why punish people who don't play the game as much? What were Bioware thinking?
I have been playing since release and my highest character is only level 33. THis is purely because I have been playing other games too. It makes no logical sense that level 50's get free time.

You are totally right. Life is not fair. I didn't meet the requirement and I didn't get the reward. I get that.

The flip side is, I am not fair either. Bioware are a company I am buying a service from. If I am not happy with that service, or I am not happy with the way they treat me as a customer, then I will tell them so, I will post my unhappiness on their forums, I will tell all my friends and I may ultimately decide to take my business elsewhere.

It really doesn't matter to me whether you or anyone else agrees with me. It doesn't matter to me if you think I am wrong. The fact is that right now, I am not a satisfied customer, right or wrong.

Ultimately, for most of us who are offended by this action, it's not about the game time. It is about the implied insult that just because we haven't got a level 50 character we are somehow less loyal and valued players.

Some of us have a different playing style, we like to try out different race/class/talent combinations, and to experience all of the stories as completely as possible

Also, some of us in the oceanic region had our release several months laters than the rest of the world, so we've had less time overall to level our characters.

Please don't hate on us because you think we're jealous, we are just insulted that Bioware apparently perceives those of us without a level 50 as less loyal or valuable
You stated yourself that they implied it but people are trying to make statements that Bioware said it. these are two different things. A company should not be bashed because someone thinks they might have possibly maybe tried to inadvertently tell you that you are less valuable.

Actions speak louder than words. If you aren't 50, you aren't as valuable. You have to pay an extra 15 bucks next month if you're not 50.

And most people wouldn't have had an issue.
what happens if your a lvl 50 player who doesnt like pvp, and could give to fecks about rated warzones, and is more than happy with the raid content they got?

does this person still get a free 30 day as well?
We need RVR in this game, lets make world burn with pvp

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...
thats exactly it, the problem with this thread and a lot of ppl in it, they just cannot grasp that and have an inability to look at a situation from anyone's perspective but their own.

What`s your point again?
The point is in trying to fix one problem, Bioware created a bigger problem and they need to address it or people will leave the game. All MMOs need as many subscriptions as possible to be successful and alienating your playbase is a sure way to fail.

So why do BW have to be 'fair' and give compensation to the 50s if life is not fair? Shouldn't it be too bad that we can't get the update to work, wait longer.
