Nothing for Veterans??

So, instead, you think Bioware should keep on their current route and not give us anything more? You think that Bioware should keep on giving us Cartel Shop Events? You think that Bioware should not add more items to the CE vendor? You think that Bioware should not add new Flashpoints, Operations, or Warzones? You think that Bioware should not hire/train better CS agents? I mean, if you're happy with what you're getting, then heck, why should Bioware do anything else? Let's take this a step further: Bioware, STOP giving me Cartel Coins every month because subscribers don't deserve them.

This game is great right now, there's no need to keep making it better for players. Apparently, wanting more from a company that we are all willingly paying $15/month to is entitlement. I'm not asking them to give me end game gear, I'm not asking them to give me something to get over on other players, I'm asking them to give me something to show that I've supported their game for a varied amount of time.

Maybe you should read you're own signature, Grayseven. Stop being ignorant.

There is great humor, perhaps even irony, in feeling entitled to voicing your opinion that others are acting entitled.

However, it is not being wrapped in entitlement to express disappointment in a serious lapse in public relations judgment when a large company swerves off the norm in terms of themed celebrations. There is a standard practice in the online gaming industry for holidays and anniversaries to be met with small gifts of cute, non-essential value. Themed pets, toys, maybe a title or two. To deviate from the norm and place all the themed holiday items on a money costing shop, during the holiday season known primarily for GIVING, is going to be seen as disrespectful (desperate cash grab) and met with disdain.

So if a game does the same thing every other game does it's stale and unimaginative but if it doesn't do the same thing as every other game does its swerving from the norm?

The "norm" is that most games don't start with any sort of longevity rewards and that longevity systems tend to crop up around year 2 or 3 when gaming companies are looking to entice players to stay or return. Themed celebrations are whatever a game company decides they will be, not some nebulous "norm". Different companies, different ways of doing themed celebrations. Seeing that Bioware has already had 2 separate themed celebrations that rewarded items and titles for participation, you have no basis to complain. Unless of course you believe that every holiday in the world should be met with freebie fluff in which case you are, indeed, very much acting entitled.

On SWG subscribers would get a present each month, and it was always something cool and interesting. SWOTOR is just starting to depress me now. Who's running it? A bunch of grinches?

So you are sad that you didn't get a "cute" toy from Santa Bioware? I really feel for you. Maybe you can ask your mommy to get you one?

There is a Santa Mount from Bioware EA, but it's $18 per character.
