"David wrote: Moore"]Honestly, we were a bit surprised by some of the more negative reactions to the announcement.

It's moments like this when I wonder if the playerbase ain't just a tad too whiny. It makes it harder to get across things that really matter (like character balance issues or the fact that releasing mystique with a Juggernaut Heroic sucks more than a sick crossbreed between Sasha Grey and a Hoover).

This is one of the rare times I've ever seen early adopters reap benefits from what they bought at a premium, enjoy the product (alliance slots), enjoy the rewards that came with the product (HP, ISO and covers), then get their initial investment back. Couldn't resist one last dig? Inferring that anyone who wanted reimbursement is "unreasonable"? And thank you for explaining what the "product" and "rewards" were. I wish you would have taken the time to explain what "premium" and "investment" also means, but you were probably to busy being condescending.

If you look back over the initial thread, most people were asking for partial reimbursement if they had purchased alliance slots prior to that one week/month period. I think this poster is merely saying that those people seemed measured and reasonable in their request of partial reimbursement. That there is a full 100% reimbursement surely goes beyond what many expected which was really at best 50%.

I honestly mixed up the names of forumites and thought I was responding to someone else.
