Now that Dice is talking about allowing non Premium or players who purchase the DLC into the game they should compensate Premium owners. Something , discount towards other Battlefield games or straight out partial refund. It’s not right when you bait and switch.

Poor little Johnny is upset because some kid kicked his ball back to him, without being asked to do so.

Is this about the “try out the DLC maps as long as your friend who owns premium is in the match with you and get zero XP etc. for your troubles” deal again?

Hears that non-premium members can access DLC. Rage ensues.

Did not take the time to read and/or understand the program. Writes cry thread on forum.

It’s a free sample for a short period of time to people who have a friend who has premium and can only play when said friend is playing and they have to be invited to the game and can only play when they are. And as so many people have already said they will not get any XP points. As someone who bought premium, I don’t see a problem here and like the idea.

They should just be adding more content, single player content or add in a co-op type of mode.

You get nothing. You paid for a service that you used. They could give away all the DLC (which they will eventually do), and they owe you nothing.

Bait and switch - the action of advertising goods that are an apparent bargain, with the intention of substituting inferior or more expensive goods. Think really hard OP, is that what happened here?

no, lol, no. dice should give everybody the dlc maps regardless.. even if they didn’t pay for anything but the game, add them into the regular rotation like giants shadow - premium should just be early access and the dlc weapons, then maybe platoon support once added .. and yes i bought/own premium

This, maps should be free for all after a few months. It’s for the better.  
I also have premium and think It would be sad to see the new maps empty in the future.
