RexBactapack Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Are you freaking kidding me? So I spent $10 on that and now everyone gets it for free? Give me my $10 back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferyClark Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I'm a bit miffed at this too. Yes, there is always the argument that we paid for 6 months of early access to the content, however, that is nullified by the fact that content expansions were supposed to be free for subscribers anyway. All you are giving the loyal customers who supported the game before a month ago is a title? Seriously, it'd be better to give us nothing and say "You had 6 months of access, that is your reward." Most of us don't use titles much anyway. In pvp they just highlight your name even more. In pve, nobody is paying attention anyway. Why not give us a useful Legacy item instead, like a token to turn into a new vendor that sells things like a Legendary Relic that is Bind on Legacy or a unique weapon variant that has some new special visual effect. So, now, in essence, those who supported the game and preordered and bought it anytime before a month ago, is getting screwed. Way to show appreciation to customers who supported the game and preordered. So when the next expansion comes out, guess what I'm going to do? Yep, that's right. I'll just wait instead of sending you more money. Edited September 10, 2013 by JefferyClark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzwell Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's like donating to kickstarter and not getting any rewards! You rock BW! Guess how many of us will wait till the next expansion is free.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittaany_Banks Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Beginning September 12, 2013, active Subscribers will receive the first Digital Expansion: Rise of the Hutt Cartel free of charge as a newly added benefit to the Subscriber Rewards Program! Rise of the Hutt Cartel offers the breathtaking planet of Makeb, five new levels of story-driven missions increasing the level cap to 55, and exciting technology devices which unlock valuable rewards. Read More So those who purchased it prior to August 11th get nothing as compensation. A title for $10 is robbery. If you put a title for sale on the cartel market for $10 people would laugh at you. People who bought the expansion between August 11th and September 12th get their $10 BACK PLUS the expansion. How is that fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcrow Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Or they could just give people who supported the game to begin with the cartel coins too and not just give them to waffling part timers or perhaps even smack-talking arseholes..that would work. Upon reconsidering I do kind of understand their logic. People that pre-order or purchased a while ago have had adequate time for value..whereas those that just bought the game have not had the same amount of time to fully experience the content..though most probably have...so they are compensating for value lost. Still..i'll take the coins too..lol. Edited September 10, 2013 by barcrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's not the measly $10...it's that I feel like I'm getting shafted for not waiting. I understand Bioware giving it away, and I agree with that...I also agree with the refund via Cartel Coins for newer purchases...I just don't think a freaking "title" is a good "thank you" to those who supported the game the past 9 months....

BadOrb Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Oh come on lol...for the whole 36 hours you think enough people will be buying it that they need to single them out?! That's silly. Meh I just realised I read it wrong , my mind was thinking it was ( for some reason ) from now until in a months time , not sure why , sorry about that I will have to rethink my position on this matter now. EDIT - it was the wording of the article , the word "puchase" future tense but it's mostly past tense , the context is slightly skeewiff to say the least. Cheers, BadOrb.

Kalshic Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) It's like donating to kickstarter and not getting any rewards! You rock BW! Guess how many of us will wait till the next expansion is free.... A more minuscule amount than you believe will. Who's going to play stale old content for 6 months when they see others enjoying new stuff? Not many. I've asked this once before, can you find me people that have been playing/paying for 6 months without the expansion that are benefiting from this? I doubt you can find me more than 1 with proof. So those who purchased it prior to August 11th get nothing as compensation. A title for $10 is robbery. If you put a title for sale on the cartel market for $10 people would laugh at you. People who bought the expansion between August 11th and September 12th get their $10 BACK PLUS the expansion. How is that fair? I get to repeat myself again for someone that doesn't want to read or think critically. You've had 6 months, you paid for content that you got access to and you did get access to it and will continue to. They get their $10 back because it would be a bait and switch for EA/Bioware to make it free when you just purchased it. You're not getting a title as compensation, you got RotHC as compensation for your $10. You get a title because they appreciate you playing the game they worked on, which you must have because you clearly have the expansion and are still paying a subscription. Correct?

Triandis Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 So because I purchased ROTHC early I get a title. However, everyone that makes the same purchase last minute gets a much larger reward? This is BS! I have been a sub since early release. I purchased the expac the day it was announced. So where's my 1050CC for supporting this game? This feels very unfair and like a big slap in the face. BW says they want their subs to feel appreciated. Well this does not do it for me. Keep the title. I would like the 1050CC please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monterone Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 What about pre-orders? A title? While new purchases get a refund in the form of Cartel Coins? So in the future we should not pre-order and we should just wait until there is more incentive to purchase? That's what you're telling us here.

aeterno Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I don't mind. Heck whats the cost of vanilla and first few xpansions of wow nowadays? Right. That`s how the biz works people. Tip for BW: This would go down a lot better if this news about the FIRST digital expansion would be accompanied by some news about the SECOND digital expansion.

ikinai Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Meh, c'est la vie. I pre-ordered, got to play it for a while. I mean seriously, I think I spent more on coffee this morning and that lasted me all of two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exly Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 well if i bought skyrim (i'm using it as an example) today, for $60, and then tomorrow it dropped down to $30, i can understand being a little "butt hurt" about it, but then i'd realize "oh hey 14 day return policy at local gaming store" then just return it for my $60 back, and then rebuy it for the reduced price, problem solved and i got $30 i didn't have, hell who says i have to even rebuy the game, maybe i'll take my $60 and buy something else in a different store all together and then local gaming store will lose my money and my business all together what bioware has done (still using the above example) is basicly given me $30 in instore gift cards back, so they still keep my business (because gift cards only work in those stores) and they're also not down any money (they still got my $60 ). I understand what they did, I just disagree with it. They decided to show their appreciation by giving a worthless title to some of the people who bought the expansion, and 1050 CCs to others. I think that they were wrong to do so, and as a result I am speaking out against it. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that fair? Not really. They put a title (well, achievement) on the CM that costs several hundreds of dollars to acquire and people have that.

Yeah so now not so sure about giving the most recent people who bought it 1050 cc for free now. I'm also not really sure what else they could have done , apart from giving everyone that bought it 1050 cc free. A really tough one for them now. Cheers, BadOrb.
