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?
