SWTOR artifact authorization now required to use Pre-order rewards?

Hello. Immediately after the 4.0 patch, my characters who equipped items with the Pre-Order reward "Advanced Black-Yellow Fortitude Crystal" showed notifications that they would not benefit from these items until I purchased an artefact authorization from that cartel market.

Is this an intended change? I had previously used this reward in most of my low level characters with no problems, even though they were purple.

If so, it seems that we are now expected to pay more to continue using these modest rewards that we already earned.

    @hkhahpal75 Thanks for the post, we're investigating issues with the collection authorizations not appearing for those that should have them.

    I am not a subscriber to swtor. 

    But I find it quite distasteful that I can not use my pre-order crystal because I am being forced to pay for Artifact Authorisation in order to use it.

    Further more I am not allowed to file this complaint or make any contact towards the swtor forums or support team for the very same reason (because I am not subscribing).

    I payed full price and then some more for this game when it was released, I do not intend to pay more, just so I can use items that I am already entitled to.
