I get a laugh out of the whole "slap in the face" mentality. You all subbed and continue to sub to the game before AND after you knew about all these meaningless rewards, and SE is under no obligation to give you anything "special" just for subscribing. The game is what you get for your money, and if you don't feel like you are getting your money's worth, no one is making you stay.

While it might indeed be a little lackluster of a reward compared to some of the others they have doled out, I would hardly call any of these items a slap in the face. It's just something extra that they didn't even have to give the ungrateful masses in the first place.

Should feel lucky they even keep the game running. If it was my game and it had this whiny/entitled/ungrateful community, I would have shut the servers down a long time ago.
