Should have given 30 days to everyone subbed since release

You don't get it, so maybe a fresh perspective or input will help. The email doesn't mention non50's at all. We're agreed on that yes?

Because it makes no reference to people who aren't level 50, it doesn't make a comparison to them. Here's the statement again:

We can infer the following ONLY (because it is only sent to 50's):

1. Level 50 toons are highly valued and highly active
2. Bioware appreciate active level 50 players
3. This appreciation will result in 30 days free time

We can't assume anything else with just this excerpt. By your own admission the email doesn't refer to another player type, and BioWare do not use any exclusive terms i.e. replacing "one of our most" with "our most".

So Freekyjason you keep calling the other guy a troll as he is wrong, but you're making an assumption and not reading the text properly. If you can't see that then we can't help you, sorry.

QFT

This is just ridiculous.

when has Bioware ever said the whole point of this game was to get to lvl 50 and run engame content?

what happens if you dont like PVE and only play PVP, your not going to see that content your ************ about.

also Bioware sold this game as a journey not a ruch to the end to grind for gear like other mmos

That's not what it implies... It's not what you say, it's how you say it... And just look at the many replies this thread has received. If it was just me that "understood" that from the message, I would say you are right! and be quiet about it. Unfortunately, from the many responses, it seems many people "understood" the message for what it implies. So it does not matter if BW had the best intentions in the world, that is not what a lot of people "understood" from it.

You are right. BW can do what they want, however, it does not mean that what they did was right. Now, they'll have to deal with it. Unhappy customers are not good customers.

As I said in the other thread, I reported it, and I hope other people will do the same. just press the 'help' button on the top-right of your window, then press the account issues link on that page and shoot them a quick email.

It gets their attention faster than the forums do, from what I've seen, and more reports might convince them that they need to address it.

there... can we be friends now?

Here's what I don't get, the argument from the camp saying that "The 50s deserve it due to lack of endgame content" are completely missing the fact that there are 7 other classes to play each of which has a full storyline. People have known for months that Legacy was coming and one would think that the hardcore people they're trying to keep would be leveling alts to take advantage of buffs etc. To say that level 50 people had no content to play is a total fallacy.

My money paid to Bioware so far :
SWTOR CE - $150
4 Months @ $15
_______________
$210


Money paid to Bioware of someone who leveled to 50, bought the regular edition, and only played for a month and then resubbed this month for the 1.2 patch and who is also getting the free 30 days. ~$75-90 (I'm throwing an extra month in just to boost the amount).

Money is loyalty, subscription time is loyalty. An arbitrary level that one can hit in a week by having absolutely no life is not loyalty.

Once again, those that say that the 50s deserve it due to lack of content are completely ignoring that there are 7 other classes to play each of which would feed into buffs for their primary character once legacy hit. It's just stupid.

We know that.

We understand that.

Many of us don't even care about the 30 days. We just want BW/EA to be honest about it and rectify the situation. It doesn't require a staff meeting or another PR stunt.

The longer they take to address this, the more it feels like they really do consider the players with level 50s more valuable and loyal than everyone else.

i think it's a bummer. i've been subbed since January but i've yet to (quite) hit 50 with any character. that doesn't mean i haven't supported the game, even in spite of its shortcomings.

I really never say much i just read with other post but i have to say this is retarded. so the guy that made it to lv 50 in one month and leave the game and sign up again i get 30 days free but me that i have the deluxe ver of the and been paying the monthly fee since day one even tho i been busy with life and other bioware game like mass effect 3 to get to 50 i get d$%k over. it just retarded
