You don't hear anyone complaining about that and saying they should've remained exclusive to those particular packs.
That is not the same at all. They put the item in a CM pack and then later made another CM pack where you could get items from different CM packs.

What would make your case (even though still not as strong, as this still involves CM) would be if they put the entire set for direct sale on the CM. Yes, that would tick off people who spent $$$ on packs with a *chance* to get the items, rather than spending $ on the item itself.

It's the same thing/idea, exclusive to pack or exclusive sub-reward to me there is no difference, you take it and move it to another pack it's no longer an exclusive, it's just another thing and that's the point you guys are trying to make and my point is it happens. So that's how I look at Nico or anything else, it's another item for Bioware to put out and make money off of later.

They have done so actually the Temple Guardian Armor Set was a set exclusive to the Club Vertica Nightlife Pack and as you can see linked here by Dulfy they released that entire armor set for direct sale on the Cartel Market.

Maybe i am wrong, but I don't remember BW saying that the ONLY way to get the Revan set or the temple guardian set was via the packs, or even the CM, for that matter. That is where they put them and made them available, but that is NOT the same as saying that "these sets are EXCLUSIVE to these packs or the CM."

That is not the same thing as the exclusive subscriber rewards, which were advertised as exclusive and the terms and conditions stated that to obtain them you MUST be subscribed on the specific dates for each specific reward.

Exactly. Releasing it in a pack =/= making it exclusive to the pack.

If they stated "We are introducing the Rainbow Unicorn Pack which has the Nugget of Truth, exclusive to this pack!" then, yes, I would concede your point.

As it is, you mentioned armor, which was never announced to be exclusive, available in a CM pack and then available later in a CM pack.

I'm done trying to make my point which is this: It doesn't matter what anyone who thinks this was just an exclusive thinks, it's about what Bioware thinks and they think about money and Nico will make them money, this isn't a guess, this is fact. I have no doubt in my mind as big of a demand for these two as there is they will re-issue them cause it will make them a lot of money, whether that be re-issuing them as a sub-reward or directly on the Cartel Market.

If it will bring money to this game that will help the developers fix it and make it better and do better at their job, then I'm all for them making money that can go towards the game.

There are a lot of entitlist in this game and I will never be one cause I could really care less, as far as I'm concerned I got HK-55 first and he will always be special to me because he's MY companion, I'm not ****** at all that I see others who have him so why should it bother me if they re-issue him? If you're gonna be all "You're sol" and "Suck it up." and you aren't hurt by the fact that others who subscribed at the same time do too, why be a dick about it if they released him again? My point is other people have him besides you, you're not the only one. I'm not the only one with HK-55 so why should it bother me if they re-issued him?

Same with Nico, or any other sub-reward, why care if they re-issue him? It's not that big of deal... It's just a popular item that can get Bioware more money and we as a player base need to be more concerned about putting more money in Bioware's pocket then being "You're SOL" and "Suck it up."
Speaking as someone that got HK-55, Nico, the PArty Jawa, a Founder title, etc... No. All this stuff was exclusive. All that said, there'll be new stuff in the future. You missed out. Sucks for you. THERE WILL BE NEW STUFF IN THE FUTURE.

It's this kinda of crap that's gonna push people to stop playing the game, not the not getting the stuff they want, the way you people act. Who wants to pay for this ****? And before anyone says I am I've already stopped paying money, I'm just waiting for my time to run out so I am not paying for anything as of right now and this crap here is why.

Yes, it is up to BW... who told us exactly how to qualify for these items.

If they re-issue Nico, then I promise to drop to preferred status for an entire month. Maybe more.

Care -space- less. Also, no it isn't why people stop playing the game. You weren't here on the required time. It wasn't a big secret or anything, you had plenty of advanced notice. You just didn't meet the qualifications. You and like 2 other people constantly whine and complain to get things you weren't here for, and all of you were players of SWTOR before the required time. You missed out completely due to your own fault....

The stuff was exclusive. Stop trying to turn your personal want for something into something bigger than what it is.

I bet they'll release something else exclusive after your sub lapses and you'll come back a year later wanting that too.
