To Those of Us Who Paid Full Price

[Xaearth]

For those of us who had purchased the game at release, we paid 60 dollars for a game that is now 10, and also with the Deluxe Edition only being 30. I have sunk my initial 60 dollar investment and a 40 dollar investment on DLC, as have my others, the least you could do is give us the Deluxe Edition to those who purchased the base game at release. This would stand to reason, the way I received ingame currency for RIFT for the concurrent months I subscribed to your game and purchased items. It is nice to feel appreciated once in a while...Everything on the Defiance end seems like a spit in the face, just saying.

So... those of us who bought the deluxe edition at launch get free hellbug statues?
And what about those of us who bought the collector's and ultimate editions?

Meh... I just want my Rose colored glasses without having to spend a bloody 5 dollars for a recolor of an item skin I already own. <- Even the smiley mocks me.

That and a hellbug plushie... those things are just too damn cute for their own good.

I was playing Black Ops II. Went out and bought this about a month after it came out. This is still 100 times better. At times I do get board and don't play Defiance for a day or two. But It is so much better that what I was playing.

When you pay 10 for a movie ticket and said moving goes to the dollar theater 3 months later, do you ask for 9 bucks back from the first theater or a tub of popcorn or drink for free because that happened?

You paid for your vanity to play it sooner than those who waited until its cheaper.

I only bought the orginial game for $60. After about 2 weeks I felt like I had accomplished everything except the levle grind. This game was market as an MMo which in my eyes says it will keep me busy for a few months. So I don't feel like I got my moneys worth.

Now saying all that I don't expect to get anything from Trion. The people who really got screwed are the ones who bought the Deluxe edition. If you buy it now you basically get the DLC pack cheaper than when it first was released. Those people need some type of refund or perk because they haven't even recieved the content yet.

Considering for most MMOs you'd have to pay for those subsequent months...

AFAIK the price of the DLC pack hasn't changed. Also it is not included in the deluxe edition (or collector's if I remember correctly), just the ultimate edition.

Though you do remind me that I never did get my Badlands Drifter title, and the Steam store page still shows it as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition, so I'm going to have to pester somebody in the support team one of these days...

Why should you get for free what other people paid for?

What do you propose to give the people that paid more for their deluxe, collector's and ultimate editions than you did for the basic game? I see you failed to mention any of that in your little entitlement rant. Oh, right... Those don't matter, because you wouldn't get anything out of it.

Gotta love the welfare mindset.

When I first got the game it was $60 and I believe $39.99 to upgrade to the deluxe edition that included the DLC (this may be wrong all postings of it have been removed). Now I can just upgrade to Deluxe edition for $19.99.

As a Deluxe Edition owner who preordered, I can safely tell you that never has the DLC been a part of the Deluxe Edition.

It includes an Outfit + Headgear (which was FUBAR'D for a very long time), some 30-day boosts, +5 inventory space, a lockbox, and a few starter gear pieces. And supposedly a title, which as I said I never did get... and was another point of contention back during launch with people saying yes it had it, no it didn't, blah blah blah...

I just consider it a very expensive lesson to never buy anything from Trion again, and to actively try to convince others of the same.

Heck, I have no intentions of buying anything any Trion employee has worked on again. The team, as a whole, has shown incompetence on an epic scale, and that kind of incompetence will show in anything they work on.

I always envy people who've never had the misfortune of spending money on something that has been branded by EA.
