About 270 day vet rewards and people who subbed for 180 days

I don't like that it won't let me buy more time until my subscription runs out.

While I don't see the harm in letting people give SE even more money, so I'm not saying this shouldn't be complained about, but...

They ARE called "Veteran" Rewards, part of the point being that it reflects on how long you've played the game. They've already let us do 180 days AND get the according rewards up front instead of having to wait the actual amount of time, which was nice on their part to start with. X)

I don't mind the waiting itself, it just sucks that people who subbed for 180 days are the only ones waiting. Why offer these rewards and then exclude a bunch of people for months just because they chose the "wrong" subscription time? We had no way of knowing beforehand.

kinda sucks, life goes on.

If this was done on purpose then this is quite a brilliant strategy by SE. The 180 day sub will provide SE consistent long term revenue and attract players through the discounted bulk rate, but at the cost of not getting certain veteran rewards until the next available subscription period. While those who want all the items at the first chance they get will buy shorter subscriptions via gamecards at a higher price.

Using that same logic the next wave of new vet rewards will favour you and those that subbed 180 days now to get the behemoth will be left out in the cold.

The point is, I want to give SE money. Lots of money. SE, I want to give you a ton of money and you won't let me!!

The only reason I see that you cannot add additional time beyond your current subscription time is because they did not code that option into Mog Station.

I seriously doubt that anyone at SE said, "You know what, let's make sure they can only give us money sometimes, and then can't give us anymore until their current subscription has run out."

No, that did not happen.

Someone in charge of Mog Station is having a hard time explaining to their boss why customers are complaining about not being able to fork over extra cash.

It's a promotional reward meant to entice pre-payment of services, AND IT TOTALLY WORKED! The only thing that doesn't work is Mog Station.
