malchior Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Stop trolling. The game was made to encourage players to have alts and utilise the Legacy system. What you're basically saying is that someone with a level 45, level 30, level 15, level 36 and level 24 alts is not playing the game in the same amount of time as someone with just one level 50 then you sir are a moron. No, that's not true. If you don't plan on playing a game where 50% of the content starts after level 50 you shouldn't be whining here. "Oh yeah well I've had this fitness subscription for a year now, only been there once, but I do expect to get a sixpack and a ripped body in the next month" "Oh yeah, I've been subscribed and supporting SWTOR for 20 years now, but I can't be arsed to level all my level 47 and 48 toons to level 50, because I'm such a lazy noob, but I do think I deserve a free month just cause I say so" If bioware decides to give rewards to players that actually play their game properly, then good for them. I am glad they did. Shame on the people complaining here that they DESERVE a reward. If you've been subbed FOR SO LONG and you have no level 50 yet you DESERVE NOTHING. Bioware rewards players that actually play their game and not the handfull of casuals complaining in this thread OH BOOHOO I JUST KEEP ON REROLLING AND I CANT BE ARSED TO LEVEL TO 50 BUT I DO DESERVE A PRIZE. You can't be alting around forever, if you're too scared to go to 50 (which takes ROUGHLY 5 days , 1-50, if you have questing buddies) then you deserve nothing.

Alcarinn Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I didn't ask for anything except Bioware not forgetting that lvl50 characters doesn't only equal their "most valued players" because some of us who have been showing "support and loyalty" don't have lvl50 characters for one reason or another. Never did i say "I want my free month". So have a drink and calm down. they wrote ONe of most loyal customer they didnt say DEFACTO that ONLY lvl 50s are loyal.... DONT LIE!

Fuzzytoad Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not to mention a baby tauntaun. And they already got a free month anyway for buying the game in the first place. Seriously, people, what is the freaking problem? A player who beta-tested, pre-ordered CE, paid for a 6 month sub, plays daily, has 20+ alts on multiple servers and brings friends into the game isn't a valued customer simply because he doesn't have a level 50 character. That's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you care about 30 days free if you get fun time anyway playing alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalfear Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Technically you count as 3 players as you have 3 accounts so your play time on each account is separate and not the play time of one person. Besides if you have been playing since pre-lunch you've already had a free month, those that joined later didn't get that. ???? 3 servers not 3 accounts Wow I have no clue what your trying to say so ill just leave it alone, to tired to figure this one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem. He got a Founder's title, a baby tauntaun and four months of enjoyment. Not to mention he already has a free month anyway. New Guy just a free month. Is this an actual problem or is this a "First World Problem"? Cuz the way it looks, it's a "First World Problem". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsukae Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It isn't fair I don't receive a free month. I feel like BW doesn't even give a ****. Killing more and more of my motivation to stay subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Would have been so much easier if they had just said "Hey lvl50's, you get a free month due to our limited content for you and we want you to stay". No problem with that statement at all. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevesNET Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Since you don't have a level 50 and you've been around since release, you are more than likely not going to unsub for lack of content and broken end game. They are clearly trying to hold the populous for as long as they can because a mass exodus was and still is coming. This desperate move will just inflate their "subbed" numbers for the EA stock holders, nothing new from a greedy company that rushes a game out before Christmas to make more profit.

TheLordMagnus Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 all this over 15 dollars will u people find nothing better to do but complaine about everything and dont have a 50 so i dont get a free month either wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww u get my point 15 dollars people grow the hell up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky_kitkat Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 people who don't get a single 50 in four months generally don't deserve a free month, they can have a pet for being so loyal by subbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing more and more of my motivation to stay subbed. so your motivation to be subbed is free time from BW? gz byby ITS REWARD NOT PUNISHMENT... PUNISHEMNT IS if you WOULD HAVE TO PAY DOUBLE for same... but now we all pay double but we get rewards... Does your motivation lowers also cos some people wear RAKATA and you dont? since BW doesnt give a ****? LOLOLOLOLOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hejjin Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hmmm Has anyone from Europe actually received the email in regards to the free month?

You know I think the best part of all this is the amount of people who had reached lvl50 and came into the forums attacking Bioware for not providing enough end game content and attacking EA for this or that will now get a free month for being a loyal, valued player. That in all this is actually funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormey Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks Bioware. As you can see from this ever degrading thread, you've succesfully managed to split this commuity in two with exceedingly poor PR spin. Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Fuzzytoad Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 All this and not 1 level 50. Not buying it. Sorry. Yes, all that. trying out all the classes to see how the story starts for each, deciding which one to stick with, getting friends into the game and rerolling to level with them, swtiching servers a few times to find a good one, rerolling again after bringing more friends into the game.. it's very easy to enjoy this game and not make it to level 50. Would have been so much easier if they had just said "Hey lvl50's, you get a free month due to our limited content for you and we want you to stay". No problem with that statement at all. lol Something along those lines would have been much more well received than the spin they tried putting on it. Since you don't have a level 50 and you've been around since release, you are more than likely not going to unsub for lack of content and broken end game. They are clearly trying to hold the populous for as long as they can because a mass exodus was and still is coming. This desperate move will just inflate their "subbed" numbers for the EA stock holders, nothing new from a greedy company that rushes a game out before Christmas to make more profit. Because of this "Most valued players" nonsense, I'm actually thinking of cancelling for the first time ever. I know I'm not alone, based on in-game chatter, deleted/locked posts here and talk in other forums. BW/EA really made a huge mistake and with their track record, I can't see them rectifying the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have 0 reading comprehension they said lvl 50s are ONEONEONE of our MOST VALUED CUSTOMERS or loyal whatever. they NEVER EVER CLAIMED THAT LVL 50s ARE THE ONLY VALUED LOYAL CUSTOMERS! get your facts straight before jumping on the hate plane!
