I have an idea, the next time they want to give anyone free time, lets form a picket line and march around. Yes it would be great if everyone got 30 free days, hell I have friends that could of really used it, but there will always be someone screaming about how it is unfair because they did not get the free time. Would it be more fair if they gave it to only inactive accounts, or those with the most alts? There is no point in complaining about this and crying on your keyboards.

The only thing your really trying to get across is that they should not do anything nice for anyone because they will get grief from the rest. Relax, go outside and see the world, the real world. The game will be back online in a few hours.

first off, the point of this game, or any game for that matter is to have fun. if my way of fun is different then yours that doesnt make yours better, just different. and yes i do have a sense of entitlement, i pay to play this game. and i continue to pay to support this game as does everyone else here, if you dont get upset about it thats fine but clearly there are many of us who are. and its easy to say you wouldnt get upset when you received the reward, however if they flipped it as exampled above and only rewarded players who had at least 10 characters, many others would be upset as well.

It would be better than insinuating (even if it was only through improper wording) that a whole slew of your customers are less valuable solely because they chose to take the scenic route through your content.

Ive been playing since day 1 and dont have a 50. why? Because i stopped playing. Am i whining? No. I dont mind tbh. Because even tho ive been a forum member since 2009 i still know that they dont think any of us are valuable anyway.
I force choke because i find it funny.

Long experience with the genre, son.
Very pretty interactive movie you've got here. When are you going to make an MMO?

Bingo. That's right Bioware hates you all. They are not running a business but a personnel grudge company. Give me a break. The entitlement that exists in this thread is beyond silly.

or how about ...

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

"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...
Who's badmouthing people with level 50s. All I see in this thread is people badmouthing Bioware because they didn't give EVERYONE a free month of play. Are you serious? Cleary, everyone has their own playstyle and some ppl don't reach level 50 due to various reasons, but this perk isn't something they had to give ANYONE at all. It makes more sense to give it to people that have level 50s, because they know those ppl have a certain commitment to the game. Don't read this the wrong way. I am not saying people that don't have a 50 aren't committed to the game, but they gotta cut it off somewhere.

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.
that is a valid point. My counter point: You cannot keep all of your customers happy 100% of the time. So, from an objective standpoint if you have enjoyed your time so far.....are you really going to allow a criteria specific reward for certain player accounts fully detract form all the good experiences you've had? Sometimes, even if it is a decision you don't agree with. Simply abandoning a product for that one reason. Like the one is question about the free 30 days is a rather shaky foundation to base a reason to leave as far as I am concerned.

i understand that

but i notes that not one of the pvp'ers who seem to think that this 30 days free is becuase they pulled rated warzones are answering my question
We need RVR in this game, lets make world burn with pvp
