Im sure GW2 won't be up to your standards either. They cannot just hand everyone a free month. There has to be some criteria. I find it hard to believe in 4 months of playing not one of you guys has made it to 6 legacy. The free month partially is to give people credit because of a lot fo end game type bugs. You guys havent seen any of these bugs you arent even high enough legacy level.

Pick a character stick it through to 50 you will have a lot of fun.

not close enough
just unlocked legacy on one server(swapped servers part way through to go on APAC server)
and highest level is 34.
I'm sorry They relaxed the requirements some, though really not nearly enough in my opinion. Especially considering those who've had to change servers--and even moreso for those who qualified for transfers to the APAC servers and have been playing over on them while waiting for the transfer system to kick in.

Well you just need to get over it thank you.
That was a pretty rude thing to say

Havent actually played in about a month and a half. Got the free 30 days (my original sub ended on April 18th as i paid for 3 months in January) and i have no plans on playing even now. I logged in to see the legacy stuff and what else was new with 1.2. Anyways i think i was on for maybe 5 minnutes before i said to myself "what a waste of time" and quickly logged out. The game just got too boring too quick.

I actually think this 30 day free playtime for people who are lvl 50 or lvl 6 legacy is kinda stupid as well especially when they are giving it to people who arent playing anymore. I mean im not going to use it because im done with the game. So why not just say hey everyone our game has had major problems since release so here is a free 30 days for your loyalty and support? Instead they are rewarding people who dont care anymore (like me) and wont even use this free time...

Bravo Bioware Bravo....
I can only please one person a day; Today is not your day; Tomorrow's not looking good either.

Where's the link for free 30 days, I see weekend pass and 7 day trials, but not 30 days. I have a level 50 and Legacy Level 9, but one of my friend bought me 60 day game time card, so do I still get free 30 days, or because I have 60 days on my account currently I screwed myself?

man thats arrogent and rude!

Why does he have to play YOUR WAY?

He said he doesnt play much and changed servers, other said hes a alt o holic, thats their play style and they have been here since launch.

THATS the criteria they should have given the free month to, anyone who qualifies as a founding member. Simple as that.

I know the 50 crowd like to beleive they special because they powered to 50 in 3 weeks (any more and your really not as good as you think you are) but players should not be punished for enjoying the game the way they like to play.

There is NO right way to play a MMORPG, there really isnt!

And for the record, I qualify for the 30 days

But im not so self satisfied that I think others who paid the same amount as me and been subscribed the same lenght as me dont deserve the same benefits when it comes to account bonuses.

EA grossly mishandled the 30 free days
EA screwed up the revised version of the 30 free days
And its a real shame some players think they need to slap other players in the face and treat them as less because they enjoy the game a different way.
In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions
In GAMING, as in LIFE,
You get what you pay for
No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

First of all, nobody is being "punished" for not leveling a character to 50. For that to be the case, Bioware would instead have needed to charge all those players not at 50 and extra $15 for their next month of playtime. Bioware decided to do something nice for all the players who got to 50 and found they had nothing to do in the game for a month or more, due to lack of endgame content. Everybody who bought the game bought it with the expectation that they would be paying $15 per month to play, and decided that that was a fair price. It is the mark of a very immature person to take offense at something extra being offered to somebody else, but not to them, due to them not meeting the criteria. I have also been playing since day one (or thereabouts) and do not have a level 50, nor do I have legacy level 6 due to my VERY casual playing. However, I have been happy with the content I have played at the expected $15 per month, and therefore have continued and will continue to play and enjoy the game, instead of wasting time getting upset about other people getting something extra. The people complaining here seem to be akin to customers who buy something one week, at what they feel is fair market price, and then come back crying when the same item next week is one sale, demanding the difference.

It just shows that no matter what they try and do people will ALWAYS complain. The only way to make them happy is to give it to everyone. Then you have the other people who will complain they gave it to everyone. What happens when they start putting in veteran rewards? Also someone said give it to everyone who was a "founder". How will that be good a LOT of people will not be able to get it because they simply havent been here as long.

How about instead of tossing a childish tantrum because you didnt get it be happy for those who did? Is it that hard to stop thinking only of yourself? Just never ceases to amaze me how people can be so jealous and envious.
