Giving people currency they can only spend in one place and then overpricing the things they want is not really appreciation, its gouging.
If 15 CC, or about 20 cents, is "overpriced", then you must be frugal to Vork like quantities.

Here is 500 CC for appreciation. Now spend 180cc on titles for your 18 characters, and a couple thousand on Treeks. You are welcome.

underwhelming.
I believe its 10cc and then you can spend 5cc in the collections... so a total of 15cc for all your characters.

It's going to be impressive. We have our Update 1.2 coming in the next week and then after that it's going to continue to roll out month after month. It's exciting."

Im kinda in the middle about this. I do appreciate the 500 cartel coins given to us by Bioware , however I tend to agree that there should have been something alittle more thought of then just throwing cartel coins at us.
With that being said, I would like to think that there will be more thoughtful appreciation towards the subscribers as the game goes on. The coins are probably just a quick response to the subscriber to let them know they havent forgotten us while in the meantime could be planning something better down the line. Unfortunately with mmo's they cant just flip a switch and presto its in the game. I'll be patient to see if Bioware just continues to throw coins at us or actually does come up with something better like a pet or mount. Maye even giving subscribers an early opportunity to get the first animal mount when and if they ever get it working.

It is only 10 CC, only 10 CC. It makes people who do not have CC buy them for this one occasion. I am a subscriber and I have plenty of CC and I don't care about it at all.

Actually, since you earn 20 CC just buy completing the story chapters and the prologue, people who don't buy CC's can get the title and the unlock simply by playing. No need to buy CC when you just earn them naturally.

Its the principal of the matter. not the 10/15cc.

If logging in that day is worth a title, then give us the *********** title. Dont gouge for 10/15 whatever measly CCs. Just give the *********** title.

The title has nothing to do with the grant, but when they keep gouging nickel and dime prices on every little thing, those 500ccs really dont mean much anymore, because you cant even afford to get something decent when they pinch you for coins on trivial "rewards".
For every man there is a sentence, a string of words, which has the power to destroy him.

I'm all for standing on principle. By all means.

It will be tradeable.. so I'm sure you can buy it for credits off the GTN from someone less principled then yourself.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

Oh it will? Hell I didn't realize that. If it will be tradable on the GTN, I'm sure it will go up for dirt cheap considering how cheap they are on the CC. Meh, I don't much see the complaint then...well, unless nobody sold them on the GTN, then I guess I could see the complaint.

Still though, I do believe it should have been a gift, something you get in the mail, not on the CC...I mean, these guys are making a killing off us, did they really need the extra 10cc for these?

No, i can still PM you and you are not my friend ().
Something else has transpired here...

What I see people doing in here is being rude, name calling or sticking some kind of tag on the OP in an attempt to make their opinion look like she has no credibility and revert to more name calling when her opinion does not agree with yours.

Andryah and I almost never agree. I can count on one hand how many times her and I actually agreed...but in the end, we always agree to disagree and we respect each others opinions.

What you guys are doing to the OP is simply uncalled for and is nothing like how Andryah argues her point of view...and even though she uses logic and is calm and collective, that does not always make her right. Sometimes it's simply a point of view and there is no right or wrong.

The OP is upset with Bioware charging us for a congratulations to us...which even though it is only 10Cc is pretty darn petty. Like it or not, she is not the only one who feels this way.

That would be like me coming over to your house for your birthday, then showing you the gift I bought you, but telling you that you can not have it unless you give me 2 dollars. What a crock and I for one agree with the OP. I am sick of Bioware having their Hoover Vacuum cleaner sucking out my pockets for every little thing they add to the game...it's not only gotten stupid, it has been stupid. And like you, I too am entitled to my opinion...which so happens to agree with the OP.
Have you read the OP's posts and past Threads?
If not i'll give you a summary:
OP dislikes something Bioware did. OP starts a thread under the guise of wanting to discuss said matter, but usually without any suggestions on how to better it and often ending (or even starting) with some statement about how dissapointed she is with Bioware and how everyone else is too.
Then when someone counterpoints her with real discussions she either answers with "well thats your opinion" immediately shutting down any chance of discussion, or if the poster was even slightly negative about her (fx. saying that "you cant be serious") she will ask the person to "Can you please stop harassing me please? Would you mind? Thanks have a nice day."
That is why she is nowadays met with hostility instead of calm reasoning.
