Screamster Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I just received email notification that I am a founder and my ingame mailbox will have a medal in it for my title. However, couldn't they have done something else then just give me a title? Makes me a little worried that they think this is a "cool" item to have. Sorry.. but nothing beats my "Darth" title.

Claymaniac Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Its pretty cool, imo. What did you want. Of course, it would be nice if I actually got it. I got the email saying login and check mail, but I have nothing in my mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the email saying login and check mail, but I have nothing in my mailbox. Honestly? Didn't need it and could careless about it. I am sure they could have done something a bit cooler than a title though. Like a free pet, lightsaber crystal, special emote, cosmetic helm, etc. Even the little cheesy iPhone MMO's give better items that BW did.

IasonEvan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Stoked! Got my Founder title. I hate to sound like a mom here, wait I totally want to sound like a mom here, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all!" They did something cool and people still find things to complain about. For shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benfynyn Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I just got my e-mail as well. I don't know, I'm on the fence about the title. It's nice to get anything, really. I guess it depends on the success of the game. If the game is around for 2-5 years, with new subscriptions on-going, then it would be kind of cool. The next step would be a longevity title (but one could argue that the legacy system will address that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is, how much fun are you going to have running around with your founder title with everyone else with the same exact title? Or, if you are on a low pop server, you will be running around by yourself with your swank new founder title. Yeah, sounds like heaps of fun to me... What's next? The "I Love You" title for valentines day? It's a cheap way to get you to try and stay on board and keep your accounts going imo.

Obviously not everyone will have it. A few years down the line, this is going to be worth some serious "peen." Speaking of titles everyone has... EVERYONE who completes the Sith class story gets the Darth title... derp derp derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it, don't display it. Pretend you never got it. Whatever. Why cry about it? They can always do something "cooler" for everything. It would be amazing if they delivered an actual elephant to my front door as a reward. But they didn't. We get a title. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least it matches the SWTOR universe. Give me a Salacious Crumb to smack around or another SW universe pet, unique lightsaber crystal. Something more tangible than a title. I just can't believe they didn't anticipate this before launch. Like I said, it worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apax Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) 5char Wow. Really? It was such a short post and you didn't even read it before replying. It probably took you more time just to fish for that quote you posted. Huge part of the problem with forums, these days.

Like I said, it worries me. Your opinion is just that... YOUR opinion. I think a Salacious Crumb pet is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Quit crying about a free gift. Most MMOs give NOTHING.

Galbatorrix Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'd have preferred something better than a title that I'll never use as well. Maybe an in game pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knewt Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I will not display my founder title on any character. It's a useless marketing gimmick to make people feel better. It feels like a desperate plea to try and stop the wave of unsubs they fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaksith Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The title is pretty meaningless now, however, if you and/or the game is still around in 2-3 years, most of the people poo pooing it here will be wearing it with a little more pride.

Galbatorrix Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Man, I sure hope this gift horse has some doggone good teeth. So, it's free, so I'm not allowed to say it's useless? I don't care either way. But, I will say that WOW giving me a free mount to sign up for a year (big mistake now) was enticing enough for me to do it. So, a better gift might have gained them more resubs because people that are planning to "come back in a few months" very well may have stayed if they knew they'd be missing out on something nice. Free or not, a "founder" title that no one will use because every class gets better titles is pretty useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtrick Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Be happy us Beta testers got nothing for our time other then working knowledge of the game. Oh, dude, cry me a river. People were screaming for beta invites. These boards were almost nothing but QQ over "this other guy got a beta invite and I didn't!" for months before this game launched. Don't even try not make people feel sorry for you because you got a beta invite. When people talk about "entitlement issues," that's the kind of thing they're talking about. Honestly, "Feel bad for us beta-testers. We got something for free that hundreds of thousands of people wanted, and now Bioware isn't giving us more free stuff for accepting it?" That's a little sad.

Crashedhardrive Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I will wear it, and in a few months when I start seeing posts about how it's not fair that the title isn't available to people anymore and how it creates a divided have and have not player base...I will simply laugh, grin and shake my head about how silly people are on the internet.

Darth_Ozzy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The title was a nice gesture, display it or dont. If your that upset go back to your "Jenkins" title. The world is really full of whiners, geeze!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
