Why should anyone have to pay to access a portion of the game they've already paid for? If someone decides to stop subscribing (for any reasoning), they should still have access for all of the parts of the game they have paid for up to that date, including the personal phase on Odessen base.
There shouldn't be any requirement to pay extra so that access can be restored to that part of the game, and frankly some of us are dubious that would resolve the issue as neither BioWare Austin or an EA representative on this site have confirmed this to be the case.
So no, I'm not going to pay to regain access to content I have already paid for. To suggest that is quuite simply ludicrous.
I guess this will mean that I'll no longer subscribe to the game, as there is little to no point if there isn't going to be instant access to the personal phase, which going by past deeds on resolving bugs on BioWare Austins end of things, there isn't. Which also means there will be no continuation of the KotFE story, which would be the entire point of subscribing with no other new content being released.
I'm guessing by the silence in this thread by "EA customer service reps", that this is going to remain one of those SWTOR infamous unresolved bugs for many years to come.
