I don't agree with Eclips very often, but when I do... I DO!

Well, if the thing keeping this game back from being popular was the "P2P wall" as people suggest, then none of the loyal subs really matter anymore. Everyone here now is becoming the minority, yay.

Those nameless CREDD sellers are the real heroes of Wildstar, especially early on when CREDD was selling for nothing. I'd absolutely be down for a reward program based on the number of CREDD you've bought, whether it be on the exchange or the website.

It's only creating guilds. Anyone can join one.

Lol nice example of a place to go to, that game hasn't had a content update since Novemeber... One raid ready at launch with held till December, the 2nd raid ready at launch with held until Febuary. Than considers screenshots and dailys 'content' for it's first major patch, copies CREDD and has released 2 more store mounts and a pet. So ya go have fun on your P2P game with the ethics of the worst type of F2P's, pay to win.. Yup that CREDD "Token" can be used to buy Mythic (hardest difficulty) raid gear thanks to their Black Market AH and surplus of BoE's.

Unlikely. I played through closed beta, open beta, subbed from early access through early March of this year, let my sub lapse for a month, resubbed in April. Since I haven't been a subscriber the whole time I won't get anything. C'est la vie.

Because the alternative was that the servers were getting unplugged? That's why I'm happy about it.

I avoided taking a Victory lap...I don't feel like I won because the game is afterall going Free to Play. My goal was to help them avoid that. Ah well. Atleast it's still here and F2P isn't the death sentence it used to be. Good to see you Zombie.

That's called "Buy-To-Play".

No, but people are acting as if they are going away forever and will only be available on the cash shop, which is the point I've been trying to knock into people's heads for a while now. As was mentioned, there will likely be some exclusives on the cash shop, it's not the end of the world, even for people who like cosmetics.

And none of that is going away. Stop acting like it is.

Again, you are trying to make this about loyalty. That is the Loyalty Points program, this is the Player Appreciation program.

Yes, it uses the word loyal. However, the word loyal there is an adjective, describing the type of subscriber, but not what the subscriber did to earn Carbine's appreciation. That's the next part, "who have maintained a subscription." This appreciation isn't for loyalty, its for maintaining a subscription. Specifically, a subscription from June 3rd, 2014 to Free-to-Play launch. There is no loyalty requirement, just a maintenance one. There is undoubtedly a correlation between loyal players and players obtaining the mount, which is why they were described as loyal, but it is not a causation.

Personally, I don't care much about the business model as long as the content remains top par.

There's still plenty of end game zones planned that will get costumes as rep rewards, not to mention the already planned holidays.

Thank you for saying something on this.

It says so right in the post you quoted subscription INCLUDES C.R.E.D.D, game time cards, "30 days" period included with retail card So yes, it would include any combination of the above as well, as long as there were no periods where your account was inactive
