I have to agree, I don't have a 50 yet and I've been playing since early access (I've swapped servers twice) I had a level 45 on a dead server so I deleted him and started over on a new server but then swapped again due to wanting to play with old guildies from SWG. I now have a level 34 Bounty Hunter and a low level smuggler. I've subbed every month since the games release.
It's a very strange decision from Bioware and one I do not agree with. (Just found out it's only for US servers? ***? So even if I did have a 50 I wouldn't get it because i'm on EU servers) Why only US servers?
