If you insist on being bitter over this, think of it this way: you got 30 days of play time for $1.50! That's pretty good, right? And that $1.50 is only an opportunity cost, rather than a physical cost.

And one should also consider this question: Would you rather have 30 days of play time or $1.50?

Curious, what topics would you consider to be more so? I read these forums very frequently and this has to be one of the worst.

After speaking with two customer service representatives, I was informed that the month I was given for free did not count as a month I would be awarded Cartel Coins for because I did not pay for it.

Honestly, this upset me as I have been, and still am, a loyal paid subscriber to the game. I have paid for everyday since day one with a 6 month reoccurring subscription and my payments have been prompt.

So why am I now being told that a month I received for free, one that I did not ask for but appreciate, does no count toward the accumulation of Cartel Coins for being a loyal SWTOR player and subscriber?

This does not make sense to me.

I was wondering if someone from BioWare / EA could explain.

Thanks.

p.s. - I realize that this thread has the potential to devolve into a flame war against companies turning a profit on the products that they produce, but let's keep it above the belt for this one please. I'd really like to know the rational behind this. Thx again.


Yup it is wrong.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Wow. Can't say anything I really want to without being really mean. So:
If you buy cartel coins from the $15 you saved you'll get more than 150, so what the chipmunk is the problem again?

You saved 15 dollars and are being exempted from a 5 dollar (Expected value of 500cc) or less. Sounds like you made out like a bandit. Time to reinvest that 15 dollars into 1500ccs.

This is what they told me I think it will answer your question

I was in your same place when I posted my thread. Then I got on the PTS lol.

From what I can see we will get more coins for spending the 15 dollars we saved back in april on the coins after they go live. Also seeing what is in the boxes i will be able to buy everything I want with the coins already alloted to me and everything else I want I will buy of the GTN lol.

What's all the fuss? With the examples given on what the coins can buy, doesn't sound like anyone's missing out on much... a pet, a chair, a mask. Maybe there will be a Saber of a Thousand Truths?

So all the fuss is over a free 30 days you got for free and you expect free coins as well.... Hmmm... I'm sorry but that doesn't make sense to me.
