What do I get as a subscriber award - I already have Shae and Nico!

I really don't care whether they give away old rewards after a lengthy period of time or not. What I do care about is the "Subscriber Rewards for SOME of our customers" promotions. Give those that already have those two something else. Like a T-shirt for our characters that says "I subscribed to SW:TOR and all I got was this lousy T-shirt". Hmm I actually like that idea!

The people crying about the definition of "exclusive" need to go look the word up. It is STILL an exclusive. The companions are STILL "exclusively" for subscribers only. I also love the sense of entitlement people have as though BW somehow owed them those comps. No, they didn't. Your contract, for lack of a better term, with BW for your $15 a month (or whatever you pay) is for your game time. That's it. That's all you get for your money. Anything else you get besides that is just icing on the cake. You are in no way shape or form owed free mounts, pets, companions, anything of the sort. And before anyone suggests, it, no I am not a BW apologist. I just look at the situation logically and understand what I'm paying for. And I don't care if BW decides to give someone else the same PIXELS I have.

I understand bad things happen to good people, but didn't it occur to you to just call customer service and get your password fixed. There's a reason they ask security questions and all that.

Not sure if you've been following closely or not, but nobody is really fighting about the word "exclusive" unless someone specifically challenges the notion that these were exclusive.

That's great for everyone who doesn't have Shae or Nico but it also punishes those of us who already have these two companions. We are denied a subscriber award. Not a great way to award your loyal customers BioWare! I think for those of us who already have Shae and Nico that we should get an exclusive companion or even two... I would even be happy with only one special companion, like maybe our original jedi master or satele shan, etc? Depending on your class. I want a subscriber award to be equal or even better than the combination of both Shae and Nico. This is the only fair option.

I already have Shae. I already have Nico. I already have the rebuilt HK-55.

It does not bother me if they want to give them out to other people. Heck, it doesn't even have to be a special promotion.

This. Many of the replies in this thread do not understand business. The reward is to encourage non-subscribers to pay a subscription before a given cut-off date. It is merely a marketing ploy to generate more money and for that they will reward anyone who subscribes with old (and formerly exclusive) pixel tat. For those of us who are already (and most likely) loyal subscribers, we can generally piss off as companies no longer reward loyalty.

Someone suggested in one of the threads that we unsub and resub only when there is a promotion. This idea is worth thinking about since nothing else will be happening in the game until 2019 (6.0).
