I think you have maybe missed the point dude.

I paid for a sub, one of the main advertised benefits being que priority. Ive just lost this benefit as a large chunk of the player base just got it for free.

I paid for a sub. A large chunk of the playerbase who dont pay for a sub just got given a months worth of most of the sub benefits for free. As a paying customer I didnt recieve this.

By paying to support SOE I have actualy lost out on free stuff and am not seeing the advantages of 1 of the benefits I paid for.

I can see why this is pissing some people off.

Its also rather handy timing on SOEs part. Its coming pretty close to the time when DAY1 6 month subbers will be deciding "should I resub, is it worth my cash". Now in order to be on equal footing to the non subs they will HAVE to resub in order to have the same queue priority. If they dont re-sub they are worse off, as they didnt get the free month. Maybe thats a bit too much tin foil hat brigade, but pretty handy timing.

I know alot of the servers are dead alot of the time, but at prime-time and when alerts are on , que priority makes a big difference when you only have limited playtime.
