And, once again - it does not change a major problem, that stetement in official stuff's QA was kinda false. Which was proved here already - you can manage to read few pages back if you like, to find out how and where and how those are "easily avalibe".
Link me up then. I'm interested, because I really think this is bull. I can't even buy a keygen or I would.

Security vendor is avalible to those who use authentificator system. Authentificator system is avalible to those who use Idevices or androids(for free afaik). It also exists as small physical thing (for price afaik) which seems not to be avalible to all the countries, that may OFICIALLY buy and use this game. It is not mentioned among goods for my region, neither on the site (swtor.com), nor in origin store SWTOR page - client and timecards are all they offer.

So, following the simple logic - unless I buy myself an I-device\android device, I'll NEVER get an access to important in-game feature (Fleet Pass). Though I pay same subscribtion. And we are talking not about some rare mounts or pets or holodancers or special outfits. We are talking about NEEDED in-game feature here.
Nice try, but you can pick up a security key generator from a few £/$, you do NOT have to get a mobile device to do this.

Not if they don't offer it to your area smarty-pants.

I'm not complaining for the sake of it. I want one and cannot get one without a smartphone... How is that fair?

You're going totally offtop, really. The problem is (and initially was) not how and where and who needs urgent travels.

Problem is that SOME get them in a more acceptable way, and that devs told that there's no reason to worry about it, since those SOME already have it.

They just forgot to add, that SOME do not have it, and are not able to have it (in any reasonable way - and NO emulator is not a reasonable way), and its THEIR (BW) fault, not ours.

Ah I see so this is about entitlement. You feel entitled to things other people have without having to do what it takes to get them. I totally understand now.

Download an android sim (google it) and then download a free app. Problem solved.

I disagree. The argument wouldn't be valid if Bioware offered Keygens to my area. Its simply not fair that people who have the disposable income to buy a smartphone get access to something that everyone else does but I cant. How is that right?

If I could afford a phone I would man.. But 4$ is much cheaper than the 150$ it takes to buy a phone. If they offered the keygen where I live I'd have no problem AT ALL. I just want equality of distribution is all.

Edit: sry for the doublepost as well guys.
