Let me lay it out. If we didn't have premium, we would have to pay more money for all the map packs and we wouldn't have all the little goodies premium members get. Premium is like a prepayment on the map packs, with a discount. The things we get from Premium (excluding the map packs) are free. I don't see why everyone is so angry at EA for this. EA gave us a discount on the map packs and then decided to give us free stuff. So to thank them, people start bitching at em? Doesn't anyone else see this? Let me sum all that up. They gave us a discount on the map packs AND are giving us free stuff.

I pre-ordered the game, which means I had Karkand already. They wanted my money up front, and I agreed to pay $50 in advance for $60 worth of DLC content (most of which is still down the road) mainly because of the additional weapons, assignments and perks like that. You know, a package deal, where nothing is "free", it's simply an incentive for them to get my money faster, and that's fine with me.

It's not a matter of wether we are happy overall with the Premium, because most of us are overall happy with it. It is simply that many of us expected a "Bonus CONTENT Drop" to be more than some artwork that most of us will never even glance at because we would rather be playing the game (even without the stuff we expected added). If you read the OP, he write in the very first paragraph "DICE has finally revealed what the bonus content will contain and when it will be released. Don't get too excited." He wrote that because there is nothing exciting in the content drop, and we are expressing our disappointment. Is that clear enough why customers who paid them money in advance are complaining about being disappointed?

You said it yourself, we paid for the map packs. I understand that people are disappointed but I don't agree with it. It may be a package deal but I could care less about the rest of the stuff in premium. The way I look at it is I paid for the DLCs, and the stuff I get from premium is their way of thanking us for paying early.

I don't know a nice way to put this.. Yes you did. Lol. That was blunt but I'm just making my point.

No one forced us to buy premium and on top of that, at least we get the map packs for less then buying them separably. These may be stupid things dice is giving us, but its still cool. I'm not good at drawing... (at all) but I personally love concept art and am thrilled about the art book. Stop complaining. Since you already bought premium and it can't be refunded... ITS FREE.



Ask DICE why you were reset. Even if they give you a stupid answer reply back and tell me what it is and I'll try to explain their reasoning for it. If they don't tell you, tell them that you have a legal right to know and will contact a lawyer if they do not tell you. (Idle threat as i don't think you have a legal right)


At least it's something.



Again at least it's something. I would have liked to see some camos and maybe even some new guns, but it's EA's decision I believe. DICE just develops the game but EA markets it. EA = Money whores. We have known this for a long time.


I DID. They said to wait a few days to receive an E-Mail to why you got reset. So after 1 whole week, NOTHING. Man, Dice is resetting everyone lately. First they reset the #1 Assault guy and he was legit too. I mean really, if you had 500+ Hours played in your friggin Assault kit, I'm damn sure you'll be able to get a 100 stars by then.

I ain't trippin though. Don't really care... Dice can take away my hard earned unlocks but they can't take away my skills.

I plainly stated "mainly because..." which either didn't register or was conveniently ignored.

That leaves two options. Are you
1) one of those people that quotes out of context, when in fact I stated the opposite.
OR
2) someone who only reads half of what was written.

Well, which is it?

I read your entire post and did not quote out of context. What you listed after "mainly because" was all stuff promised in DLCs. You may have paid for the DLCs because of what they entail (weapons, assignments, etc.) but bottom line is you paid for the DLCs.
