People who are bashing this thread fail to see themselves in the situation the OP is in. On the other hand nowhere is it said that only the people with a level 50 character are valued customers. It is just a video game so I wouldnt really go on the its the principle of it all tour. You just got cheated out of $12-15 is all. Thats exactly what it is and it will 99% fail. These MMO nomads show up, power through w/e content is released in days then leave all the while e-thugging the forums and talking down the game. They never stick around and no free time will entice them other wise. SOE tried to cater to them with SWG and all they did was piss off the loyal players.

I want to play this game over the years to come and I want to see all of the awesome upgrades and updates that I know these talented developers (who love this game and love the Star Wars IP) can come up with. And to do that, I think the management team needs to learn that there's a better definition of "Most Valuable" and "Loyal" than the stupid metric they devised for this fiasco. Otherwise I'm not sure who's going to be left to pay to keep the lights on... A simple, heartfelt apology would be a good place to start. Don't apologize to me, I don't need one. Apologize to the portion of the user base that has done what they needed to do so that they could support your salaries and the salaries of the developers and others that you employ, however hard that might have been for them in their own personal financial situations, and that you completely threw under the bus to avoid having to say something you were too scared to say outright. Just because you have some concerns about admitting some flaw or accepting some burning grievance is no excuse for using your ACTUAL most loyal players as meat shields to avoid the heat. If that's the kind of mentality that is in charge of this game, then it might be best they find a new career path before they wind up killing this golden goose for good, and let someone else who understands what true loyalty is to take the helm and lead this game into the future... You said exactly what I wanted to say, but with less anger.

I've tried to read as much of this as possible, but some of the partisan and emotive responses are simply idiotic. 1. It's not a reward, it's an apology. BioWare are saying sorry for their lack of 50 content. If you're not 50 yet, they've nothing to apologise for. Complaining is akin to EU players complaining that US players got a 3 day credit for a 3 day server downtime that affected the US only. 2. "I play this for the stories" isn't a valid excuse for not being 50. The story extends into level 50 and beyond, so if you're sitting with 8 level 35's then you seem to have a low attention span. I play this MMO for stories too, and I completed my Marauder's story quest before doing any level 50 content, despite hitting 50 halfway through the last planet. I actually find it surprising that anyone can finish their story before 50, especially as alt-aholics are likely to be rested often. 3. "I work/have family/don't play often" IS a valid excuse for not being 50. This is just a game and even if you've subscribed from launch and play when you can and you're still lvl 43, that's okay. Why do you feel entitled to a credit for a game you rarely play and have invested so little time in? I get that people see others getting a freebie and want to moan. You need however to accept that when playing an MMO, these things happen. MMO developers have to try to walk a tightrope of player opinion but player's have a HUGE range of opinions. Don't let this change how/if you enjoy this game.

All the level 50 content was buggy so they give a free month to the people who experienced it, problem?

I mean I want real answers or I'm calling every single one of you liars and regarding your posts as merely trying to stir up **. my post got burried on page 32ish somewhere but my Wife has been playing since early access and her highest toon is 44 and we decided to leave the server because it was a ghost town, on her new toon shi is level 30 but she loves this game and want every bit of story and she explores all the planets she is on even though on a few of them she is doing grey quests and killing grey mobs that net her F* all XP but it dossent matter to her becaus the experinece and story she gets from it is way more important then becoming max level in 14 days. i have a lvl 50 and all i do is PvP dont like the whole pve thing i have done 1 daili quest ever besides my class story line wich i spacebard through becaus i dont care that they spend 100mil on voice acting pve is just the pain you endure to able to pvp. but yeah im loyal ( until the next shiny game is released ) but my wife who is 100% in love with this game is considderd unloyal ?

Sure, I could have a 50 by now, probably two - I reckon I've played at least as much as anyone who has a single 50, and way more than those people who wore out their space-bar hitting 50 in a week then whining they had nothing to do - I didn't realise it was a race, silly me. Thanks for the appreciation Bioware, it's mutual. Well...I gotta take myself to task for that bit of hyperbole. I'm apparently getting a critter. And that's way cool! I have a lot of characters. Highest is 42. My sad tale on that char. is I was playing it in duo with someone who decided to bugger off. I waited to level her in the hopes that they would come back. They haven't. So for 2 months, I let her sit within easy reach of 50. Doh. And yeah, I didn't think it was a race either especially since BW said: Take your time, it's all about the story/journey. Oh well, done's done. I'll probably sulk another day or two and then get back to what I was doing, having fun.

I spent 2 hours tops a day for the last 3 weeks playing a character and made it to 50 on my Shadow, I also have a 38 Commando. Hi I have an active life as well, and I still figured out how to play a game I enjoyed without going overboard. And yes, my server is dead as well, feel free to go check out Anchorhead. I didnt rush to end game content, I actually played the game.

It's 8pm Hong Kong time right now, I'm still in the office. I have to head to the airport in 4 hours to catch a flight for a client meeting tomorrow. Yet here I am, reading about Patch 1.2, participating as a member of the community on the forums. There have been countless times when I have come home past midnight yet logon to play for an hour or two although I have work early the next morning. Or cancelled all manner of social events to play this game. I have a 6 month subscription and was planning on subscribing for an additional 6 months, no questions asked**, until this came along. I have been accused of being a "fanboi" on here more times than I can remember for my ridiculously embarssing degree of support and defending I did on these forums. And all of a sudden, I'm not "loyal" or "most valuable", but the whiners and complainers who power leveled to 50 are. What utter BS.
