Why do you care what other people get when the same option is available to you?
You had plenty of time to play? great (for you), some people don't have plenty of time.
"dont have time? dont play then" thats a ****** statement, you know what happens to games that only cater to the hardcore players (aka the ones with plenty of time)? they die out and are left with a minimum population until the game is shut down and then all you with plenty of time can spend that time on forums of other games talking about your 25 lvl 65's you had once on SWTOR.
I don't have plenty of time to play games, so i choose not to be an active raider, not to pursue short events like the gree event or the bounty hunting event unless i actually want something from the vendor.
I do like doing flashpoints from time to time and pvp, so if Bioware wants to give me a new character that i can play on, well thats a very nice gesture because after all, i pay just as much for my sub as anyone else that posts on these forums.
