HelinCarnate Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Bravo, OP. This is the finest [Mythical creature we aren't allowed to call people] have ever seen. 10/10! A sign of a good troll post is that you cannot tell if the person is truly an idiot and believes what they are saying or if they are just trying to get a reaction. In this case it would appear the former. If the OP is just trying for a reaction then I would have to agree and give 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eillack Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I don't understand why you needed to be told you wouldn't be receiving coins for a month you DID NOT pay for. The point he is saying is that we were "rewarded" during that month but in the end we were punished in a way because we got 150 less CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNahash Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The point he is saying is that we were "rewarded" during that month but in the end we were punished in a way because we got 150 less CC. rewarded = not paid = not eligible for CC. I still don't see the problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philrowen Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 If you insist on being bitter over this, think of it this way: you got 30 days of play time for $1.50! That's pretty good, right? And that $1.50 is only an opportunity cost, rather than a physical cost. And one should also consider this question: Would you rather have 30 days of play time or $1.50?

Tommot Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 If this is the most self entitled thing youve ever seen on these forums you didnt read them much. M Curious, what topics would you consider to be more so? I read these forums very frequently and this has to be one of the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goretzu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That's right. If you were awarded with a free one month subscription earlier this year, you will not be given the 150 Cartel Coins for that month. Straight from the mouth of two BioWare / EA / SWTOR customer service representatives. After speaking with two customer service representatives, I was informed that the month I was given for free did not count as a month I would be awarded Cartel Coins for because I did not pay for it. Honestly, this upset me as I have been, and still am, a loyal paid subscriber to the game. I have paid for everyday since day one with a 6 month reoccurring subscription and my payments have been prompt. So why am I now being told that a month I received for free, one that I did not ask for but appreciate, does no count toward the accumulation of Cartel Coins for being a loyal SWTOR player and subscriber? This does not make sense to me. I was wondering if someone from BioWare / EA could explain. Thanks. Pax p.s. - I realize that this thread has the potential to devolve into a flame war against companies turning a profit on the products that they produce, but let's keep it above the belt for this one please. I'd really like to know the rational behind this. Thx again. Yup it is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talahar Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wow. Can't say anything I really want to without being really mean. So: If you buy cartel coins from the $15 you saved you'll get more than 150, so what the chipmunk is the problem again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenirath Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You saved 15 dollars and are being exempted from a 5 dollar (Expected value of 500cc) or less. Sounds like you made out like a bandit. Time to reinvest that 15 dollars into 1500ccs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat-a-tat- Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This is what they told me I think it will answer your question I was in your same place when I posted my thread. Then I got on the PTS lol. From what I can see we will get more coins for spending the 15 dollars we saved back in april on the coins after they go live. Also seeing what is in the boxes i will be able to buy everything I want with the coins already alloted to me and everything else I want I will buy of the GTN lol.

Ognajd Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What's all the fuss? With the examples given on what the coins can buy, doesn't sound like anyone's missing out on much... a pet, a chair, a mask. Maybe there will be a Saber of a Thousand Truths?

bloodmoon Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So all the fuss is over a free 30 days you got for free and you expect free coins as well.... Hmmm... I'm sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar_Breeze Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I believe the point he is making is that within the time December 2012 - November 2013 there were only so many months. Assuming you were going to subscribe for those months anyway its a bit of a kick in the teeth to be told that one of those months doesn't count because the 'free month' would actually be December 2013 because you had fully subbed for the other months. To me it doesn't matter but I understand the point, would be nice to get 150 coins as they buy you practically nothing based on PTS prices. I'm a bit more annoyed about the 1000 for collectors edition.. should either be much more or have some extra collectors edition only items buyable with coins / credits or perhaps a permenant 5% discount on cartel coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ravenhurst Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) lol.. I bet those 150 coins are worth exactly $1.50. probably a one time quicktravel or fleetpass Edited November 2, 2012 by Lord_Ravenhurst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingonaut Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Just buy Cartel Coins with the $15 you saved that one month. You get more than you would have. Edited November 2, 2012 by Pingonaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you skimped and said ill use my free month now then too bad. The coins were for paid months. And think about it this way: you have 15 more dollars right now than of would have. Even if you used your free month you theoretically still have 15 bucks. So, time to move on. Edited November 2, 2012 by Arkerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esno Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Reading must not be a strong suit, it also stated that the month that was free when game was purchased we get tokens for but not for the free month after 1.2 came out (Legacy release to get people to return lol) As with alot of others ive been playing and paying from the start and have no problems with loosing a whoping 150 cc lol, if account is active when f2p is released we are supposed to get bonus 250 cc then for subscribers from 500 cc per paid month.

IndigoHawk Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 OP ... if you look at the return you get for what you paid, you'll see that you're actually getting at least 50cc free. Let's say you paid for 12 months. Let's say you get 9 months at 150cc each, and 3 months at 200cc each. Now let's say you paid for 12 months and got a free month. Let's use the free month first, for simplicity. Now you'll get 1 free month at 0cc + 8 months at 150cc + 4 months at 200cc. That free month gives you 50cc free, because it pushes your paying months one month later, when the points are worth more. In fact, that free month may be worth even more, because later months could be worth as much as 500cc when f2p goes live. You're right that you'd have more cc if you paid for 13 months, but then you would have actually paid for one extra month. By comparing the return of paying for 13 months with the return of paying for 12 months, you're comparing apples to oranges. Compare the return based on paying for 12 months, with and without the free month, and you'll see the logic error and that BioWare is actually giving you more free stuff than they intended. So ... how about saying thank you to SWTOR for the free cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
