It's called wishful thinking.

Explain to me what this means: (from email sent out 10-15-2015)

Whoofff.... no, not gonna read all that. Doesn't really have an impact on what my bit on this is, anyways.

Only thing i'd change, is that they remove listing the achievement of unobtainables only for those that don't have them. Those that got them, they should be listed for as long as the game runs - they did get it, after all, why take it away from them?? That'd just be 57 kinds of wrong from here to next week.

We could ask you the same question. After all, your posts in this thread seem to indicate that you seem to feel you that you have the right to determine who deserves things. You seem to feel that you have the right to determine that "new players" or players that CHOSE to "take a break" are entitled to (or "deserve") rewards that were only available during a time when those players were not playing.
I am a player, I PAY to play this game, this is MY RIGHT to ask for things I like, I never asked to take anything away from players. Do you understand it or not?

I'm keep asking to get something. You were doing nothing but to NOT let others get something even though it doesn't benefit you. Of course I have to ask you who do you think you are to judge others "DESERVE" something or not?

Get it before it's gone, for good or for a while? They have the right to explain every of their game reward. Old players already enjoyed it for so long, as long as there are new reward it's not a problem at all.

This game lack of new content, it's totally cool to bring the old stuff back like I've said.

It isn't really judging when you are adhering to the set guidelines. If an item is touted as exclusive, then it is exclusive. You can ask all you want for them to change their minds. But breaking your promises is not good for business --- especially when those promises were made to promote sales.

Well they used the word "exclusive" and they warned people to get it before it's gone. I'm not reading anywhere about getting that swoop bike before they have to bring it back so you can get it whenever it's convenient to you.

It's exclusive for a period, that's easy to explain. They have the right on explaining every of their in game item, this is part of the EULA.

No, it depends on the numbers of the customers who truly care about these items always stay exclusive or not, compare to the ones would benefit from the open sale. How the old customers feel also depends on how much EXTRA effort did those players give out and do they get new reward. Most of these items didn't require too much extra effort other than come at the right time, they also have enjoyed it for so long. It's not a big deal as long as you have new carrot to offer.

Once again, we can ask you the same question.

"Qualified to receive" as in "met the criteria to receive". The criteria were set by BW, not me. The criteria for qualifying to receive those subscriber rewards were clear and explicit.

Johnny asking for something is one thing. Johnny thinking he gets to determine that people who clearly did NOT meet criteria set forth by BW to receive certain rewards should be given those rewards anyway is another matter entirely.

Johnny continuing to pester because he did not get the answer he wanted is another matter, as well.

If I can't get them I can't get them.

I can't have Shae Vizla, some other dude or HK-55 back either as I wasn't even playing back then.

That's life for you, sticks it in and breaks it off.

Dear Bioware, please remove the Valor 90 and Valor 100 achievements. They are unobtainable to me, because I don't play much PvP anymore. My main PvP char has Valor 79, so I think that I will be able to achieve Valor 80 by myself one day. The remaining two remain unobtainable. I think that it is just fair if you remove those, because I pay for this game and Ithus deserve 100% completion rate.

Alternatively, I am OK if you unlock Valor 90 and Valor 100 manually for me. Since I almost achieved them myself, I think I have proven that I could achieve them if they were not unobtainable to me due to not queueing.

Bioware offers a friend referal system which gives referred players a couple of goodies (incl. 7 free days of sub and a neat free 10 x inventory slot for every character) and referring players some little shinies and cartel coins.
I would be happy if you choose my referral link to grab your free goodies.
