What they probably should have done is given the 30 days to people who have at least 2 or more toons that have 50 levels between them.

when that other <cough> game came out. i was at it from vanilla. made a guild , it is still going. what i learned in the first three months of that game never left me. never rush to level cap. you end up sitting around doing nothing. that is why it is referred to endgame. the name should be self evident. bioware provided an amazing storyline for all classes (unlike the lacking one faction in the other game) and intended game play to follow that path. as is demonstrated by key elements , ie light/dark . now.. it is an open ended game in the aspect of how you do that. but the lvl 50's whether by the way i described earlier in a post or by legitimate means still knew what they were doing. here is the thing you know. it was not as if the concept of endgame was mysterious. it pretty much spells itself out. we didn't even expect the patch this early.
the fact it is out alone is surprising. i would expect many bugs. i feel that bioware has done enough for the end-gamers that ignored concept of 'endgame'.
this is going too far.
bioware is trying to make a previous mmo gamer community happy. but doesn't realize that the previous gamer mmo's expect the other game or the type of results. if you follow. bioware has to make itself a separate entity in the mmo world.
seriously, other then juvenile excuse of mmo (pandacraft..lol) , think of the games that have lasted. anarchy online is still around. seriously outdated. but it is it's own game. you know?
with it's continuing loyal fan base.eve online as well. neither are my type of game or game play . but you know, they live strong in their own right because they maintained their identity separate of pandacraft

I clearly don't deserve a free month, because I haven't got to 50. I have only pre-ordered the game on the first day of pre-order, got the Collector's Edition, subbed 3 months and completed a fair amount of the games content.
Perhaps they don't offer 30 days in those situations because if they did you'd just get to 25 days or so and quit?

I'm joking of course, don't take it personally.

So they are giving level 50 accounts a free month because there is nothing to do at level 50. Ok i get the idea behind it, but someone like me who KNEW there was little to do at 50 and created 4 alts and my main makes me not entitled to the same thing? My highest is a 47 and im purposely not hitting 50 to get the boredom phase. Ive been here since head-start with a pre-order. Why am i being treated like a black sheep because i elected to take my time to get to 50? I mean i have as much if not more logged in time than the lvl 50's who do absolutely NOTHING. They stand in the fleet doing nothing while those under lvl 50 spam for hours LFG for X FP. I mean seriously, they word it that lvl 50's have nothing to do, well thats why i didnt rush to 50 and made alts, so im not equally entitled to what others are getting?


Glad i hit cancel sub yesterday when their ninja announcement mere hours before the patch went live that they were removing the stuff that made me want to finally finish off my last 2 levels to 50.

What I am complaining about though is not being permitted the same "Thank you" for having been a customer who's enjoyed the game since the release date and taken my time with each of my characters and moving to another one when I feel I want to experience a different storyline.

Level should not be an indicator of the value of the customer, and that is the real debate here. Its not even about the free-be, I plan to continue my subscription regardless. Its about how Bioware, or whatever hand is behind this, doesn't understand what makes a valued customer.
then it will be a tough road trying to actually get it through the others's heads then since we seem to agree on that point at least....
when i saw the email i thought it was because i had a level 50 AND had a 6 month sub plus was in beta all contributing to it...as well as having the full week of prerelease as well as have the CE

so in a case like that... yeah i actually do feel that i am a loyal and valued customer

Yup, been with the game since various beta builds and still here.

Yet, I'm not loyal enough nor appreciated enough since my characters are 43-44s.

They should simply give every active customer 30 days free.. why is that so hard for them?

Because they are cheap and connected to EA.. who are greedy.

I don’t have a problem with them giving 30 days away to folks with a 50 toon

all the updates that were aimed at the characters of my levels have worked just fine, I understand some of the updates for the 50's didn’t get implemented, so I understand the compensation, nothing was ‘taken away” from me.

Still not sure why I am supposed to be pissed.
You shouldn't be pissed, you are an incredibly understanding and patience human being. I say you should get the 30 days for actually seeing the bigger picture. Although you should finish the 46, endgame story is enjoyable

I also have no problem with them deciding to reward people with level 50 characters, for exactly the reasons you say.

What I do have a problem with is BW posting on their website that those players with level 50 characters are their "most valued players".

If I don't feel valued then I expect BW will not care if I choose to unsubscribe.
