Seems almost everyone on my friends list who bought premium regretted it, especially those who stopped playing war earlier then anticipated and those who felt let down by some of the packs (AK, CQ).

Not to mention the segregation of the player base with “Premium-only” servers and lackluster “bonuses”, “exclusive videos” who end up on youtube within minutes and more.

I stood by my choice and did not buy it nor do i support it.

So who feels they were cheated by Premium and why?

I only liked the CQ expansion and the map Karkand.

Rest was junky. Never bought premium.

I personally loved it. Not sure if it was worth the cost, but I’m not complaining. I can totally see why a lot of people weren’t pleased by it though, it should be something great, and something for everyone, which it’s not.

I never really understood why people hate it. If you’re going to buy all maps, buy premium. You save a little bit of money and get extra in game content like dogtags.  
So what if they have Premium servers. It should be an option if you only want to have Premium players in your server or not. It’s really not much different so why complain? Also if you get premium you get discounts on other things like 30 dollars off MoH:Warfighter though it may be not that great of a game. I don’t see why people complain about a good deal.

It’s like “They want to give us extra content and keep us from paying 10 extra dollars on buying maps separate. They’re money greedy whores!” You get it 10 dollars cheaper if you buy it and extra benefits. If they wanted to be greedy EA they wouldn’t offer such a thing. Just an example…

I’ll probably get premium again but I’m not going to preorder the game itself until a week before it gets released.

I found Premium to be great, and will purchase it again.

BTW if you’re trying to start a discussion, dont phrase it to only support your viewpoint.

Me and my friends never had that much fun over such a long time with _any_ PS3 game to date (playing basically since release, still playing almost every night) and while I personally don’t like the Armored Kill expansion _that_ much (because of 12v12 player max on PS3 it feels kinda empty at times), I didn’t regret buying Premium at all. I would have bought all the expansions, anyway.

Only two things that really annoy me since the introduction of Premium are:

- The silly looking ACB-90 replacing your knife _for good_
- The little “Premium User” note in the killcam makes me feel like a involuntary bragger

The latter one annoys me even more so as it wasn’t mentioned anywhere when I bought Premium and cannot be disabled 😕

But apart from that I think Premium was a good deal if you were going to buy all the expansions, anyway (like I was).

So I guess if there’ll be a similar deal with BF4 I might consider doing it again.
