I have to call that quote out for what it is, BS. If I'm fired from my job, and money's tight, and I'm losing money... the LAST concern of mine, would be a game, and a possible mount in a game, as in it wouldn't "factor in" what-so-ever... that's not speculation, that's reality. :D  (Especially since I've been there before a couple times, never fired, but laid off... first order of business in every situation such as that, ax out all non-essentials, including games/entertainment.)

Why is it everything you say, I disagree with? A question, why should those loyal to the game, been through the roughest, hardest times of the game, not be rewarded? I know I will not be getting it, and I am happy for those that are. To go through that stage of drop 2 and 3, and still play, is a level of loyalty I could not achieve.

Only problem I see with this, is the same problem if they budge at all. If they make a new rule to award X amount of months, hypothetically we'll say... 7.  They'll then be faced with anybody that got 6 or 6.5 feeling they should be able to squeeze in just under the wire as well. Then if it's changed again to 6, those that want to squeeze in with 5 or 5.5, etc. -_-

And how's that going to work out for those that want the title, but don't care about the mount? It's a no win situation for Carbine either way.

In cases it can be proven that the issue is with Carbine's end/equipment, which compares to the bus breaking down... most have agreed... sure, that exception counts. But for anybody that can't claim some technical issue, well, too bad, so sad. B) *shrugs*

Well, as much as I can agree with this, I can also see a disagreement, or at least a backfire with the idea... which is actually connected to the last line of your post. With it worded the way it was stated, "anybody with active time each month", could definitely blow a huge hole open in their "lapsing" definition. Take for example somebody that rage quits on the first or second day of the month, their sub may have run out within the first few days, they quit and uninstalled Wildstar. Then have second thoughts a few weeks later, and come back in time for the last few days of that month, resubbing. There's now a huge lapse-gap of 25+ days that are now qualified for the same perk that's supposed to be for people that were loyal enough to have a continual subscription every single day, without lapses, until the game transitions to f2p. You might say that'd be an extreme, but you KNOW with the player community being how it is, they WOULD find a way to exercise that technicality and get the same mount, even with a massive lapse of 20-25+ days... then there's the possibility of somebody doing that numerous times... possibly causing anywhere upwards of say what, 160+ days overall lapsed, just in 20-25 day bursts.

But that's just it, people who bought the box ARE getting loyalty rewards. They're getting four months (or was it three?  whichever) of signature-service, a slug pet, caretaker DJ, a song for their housing plot, and a title. The real issue is, those that are upset about the mount, acting like they're not getting anything at all... the "all or nothing" attitude, sticking their noses up in the air at Carbine and being ungrateful for what they are getting.

It's probable that a year ago Carbine had no idea whether or not they'd be going Free-to-Play, which only compounds how ridiculous it is that remaining subscribed for the timeframe between is the criterion for getting something nifty. Pretty please, address my point on measuring players by money spent.

I'm saving my 30 Boom Boxes for the F2Pocalypse.

Hang in there, bro. I got you.
