Sorry Wampa, I beta tested in the closed beta

WE TOLD YOU THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO AT 50 before launch hit when the NDA went down

And since no content was added between then and 1.2

Its REASONABLE to conclude there was lack of content at end game

So why reward you (and it is a reward as well as a punishment no matter how its spun) for finding out and complaining about what you already knew?

Sorry I dont see the logic

You were told
you powered there anyways (as is your right, see above above no correct play style)
you found out everything you were told was correct
you screamed to high hell (not you but the 50 crowd) about finding out no one lied to you
EA gave you a free month

So now the people that played just as long (in some cases longer as their accounts never got cancelled and then reupped months later) and paid just as much or more now yelling
And some how you think their wrong to?

They are doing exactly what you all did

Only difference is no one forwarned them 5 months ago

Yeah, I dont get the entitlement you 50s showing here

Support those that are just as deserving (and more so in many cases) to get their just results already!

Actually, you did get free game time for buying the game.

Yay you!

Imo all this does is reward some of the players who have done nothing but insult the players who do love this game for months.....

Ummm... are you referencing my post? Good lord I hope not, because... just.... wow... if you bothered to read my post, you would've realized that I am NOT 50, and have not been given a free month of play, but was making the point that I am happy to continue paying my expected costs of $15 per month to play a game I enjoy instead of begrudging others for getting something extra.

I just don't understand how people can not get legacy 6? If you have that many alts only one of them has to have finished chapter 1 of class quest and than every time you play an alt that adds to you're legacy exp.

Case in point a guy named Roy a real life friend of my who is 60 years+ old grand father, slowest leveling guy in our guild, who has never reached a max level character in wow, aion, or rift.
Has just reach level 50 on a bounty hunter, in addition to having 6 or 7 alts across 2 servers .

We never would have given him a chance of snow flake in hell or ever seeing a max level character in anything and he has done it.

The bar is set kind of low don't you think?

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 find the irony amusing.. You don't care.. yet you are browsing the forums sowing seeds of doubt..

no im refering to the 50 crowd (i said iin brackets not you the 50s) and how the free month came around

I dont think they begrudging the 50s either, I havent read a single person say it should be taken away from them. Maybe I missed it (saw some 50s say they didnt want it because it wasnt fair though)

Asking for something they feel they are due is not begrudging someone else what they getting

As I said, I get the 30 days, but I also see the absolute hypocracy of the entire thing

And it really bothers me how some of the 50s act about it. Cause we both know if EA had put out

"We are going to reward our most loyal customers with 30 days free if they have the founding title and have never cancelled their account from the start" the same people here acting all superior and ignorant about how they deserve the free time over others would be screaming to high hell about how unfair it is.

Personally I think what I just wrote is EXACTLY how they should have given out the 30 days, to their MOST LOYAL (in reality) customers. Anyone that cancelled and then reupped for 1.2....to bad, so sad.

And clearly as there is still posts being made about this every day (and brought up by people that dont post and just quit (I talk to allot of old gamers on facebook)) this is and will remain a real negative impacting issue for EA.

Cause we both know those guys that quit a month after release that came back for 1.2 and got the free month (Ill never know how thats called loyal but what ever) are just going to cancel soon as free month up. Hell some have walked away already.

If you havent unlocked legacy 6 or have a 50 in 4 months it isnt because you arent a hardcore player. Its because you havent been PLAYING.

If you played 1 hour a day for 4 months that would add up to 120 hours. which is easily enough time for either a level 50 or a legacy level of 6.

I wouldnt consider myself a hardcore player and I have a level 50 on rwoorkroror and rerolled and have level 6 legacy on fatman with no level 50s because Im an altoholic.
