I wouldn't have minded if it was to Beta and Pre-order players only, but they miss a big chunck of people in the middle then start giving them out again to Trial players.

Why? Do you deserve it? Did you guys pre-order the game before launch? Were you subbed during the event that gave everyone the Mobius Code? Did you sign up for a Friends and Family trial account and then convert it to a regular paying account after the devs decided to make HJB and MC a sign-up incentive?
No? Then you don't meet the criteria for those two abilities.
Now, if you want to comment about how unfair it is that there is no system of rewards for veterans, then you might have a leg to stand on.
There are clear criteria for those two items and if you don't meet them, sorry for your luck, but stop whining about it. It's an incentive to get new players to sign up for the game, and if people continue to complain about it they may scrap it, giving new people even less incentive to try this game out.

first off...yer i did pre-order, but couldnt play due to the system i had...i made a character but lagged so much i gave up till i got new computer
and second...i re-signed up with a new key...still didnt get it and am still here
hence my reason my i dont see the harm in everyone getting it
and third...well that is all

My account is credited with HJB and MC but I never had them, so do I deserve it? I signed up for the trial after launch and you know what? The game and story was incentive enough to play. I didn't even know I was supposed to have gotten them. I had to stop playing due to immense lag on my old PC but when I resubbed just over a year ago I still had my old Character available still with no MC or HJB but even then I was fine without the abilities... until they restarted handing them out again.
I know I probably will never get them due to the support staff being unable to verify if I ever did have them but I'll still side with those who can and in my opinion should get them. It is just a slap in the face for those who bought the game outside of the trials because they wanted to play it regardless of incentive.
I see though that you only care about something which benefits you so until the issue of Mobius and HJB is resolved, I don't want to see a veteran reward system.

Sucks to you I guess. You'll get HJ Beta from /claim without a credit card though.

Are HJ Beta and Mobius Code tradeable? Because, if they are, what's stopping people from creating buddy key accounts and then transferring it to your main account?

Untradeable, everyone would of had them if they were.
They used to be tradeable, which is how a lot of people lost them as they borrowed them out and such and they slipped it into a patch without warning, so a lot of people who had them, now dont.
#3630043130503/25/2008 14:45:30Re:So Like, where's my Mobius?
I used to slang HJB since my character was Beta. Twas easy too. I'd just create a new character, sell the HJB, and email the money back to my main. In fact, I have 2-3 HJBs I think on my main I was planning on selling until they patched them, making the abilities untradeable.
#3630043773904/05/2008 17:35:42Re:So Like, where's my Mobius?
New question: Are these still untradable or can I use one of my high level characters to farm the gum and get Mobius or HJB and then give it to one of my lower level characters to use? Or should I collect the gum and then send the gum over to the other character to get the goods?

Yep, still untradeable. Just farm the 40 or 80 sticks of gum and email or trade them to the character you want to have it. Then just go to the collector.

#3630043845704/07/2008 07:07:53Re:So Like, where's my Mobius?
Mobius code was never a beta item. Both Mobius Code and HJ Beta had their exclusiveness ruined by later being given out with trial accounts. Beta accounts still have the advantage of getting HJ Beta free on EVERY character created forever (trial accounts get it on one character only) and now have the ability to also acquire Mobius Code. After marketing screwed the pooch, the issue has now been fixed in a way that benefits everyone.
And what is it with you vet players being too chicken to take your alts into datamine so they can get MC and HJB themselves? Sheesh, get some balls and use your twinks like the man you want everyone to think you are.

Just so you folks know, it seems that if you do farm a second mobius out for yourself and upload it, it will mess up using the /loadlo command for any and all loadouts containing a previous mobius code until you remove it from code storage and/or your inventory (by either recycling or e-mailing the spare). I did this because I had tried to farm one out for an alt and e-mail it to him and... Well, obviously this was the result.

Not picking on Cap or anything, but this is an example of what I was afraid of. What's to stop the devs from giving out the Burning Eye trench or the Beta clothing, now that these other "veteran" abilities have been compromised?
And argue all you want about how HJB and MC aren't Veteran abilities. My argument is that they were, because they marked you as being a player who was around duing certain significant milestones in the game, specifically, the pre-order period and the Death of the Destroyer event.

The fact that marketing havent decided to give them away to a certain portion of players is whats stopping the Dev's from giving out the BET or Beta clothing. Once again, if they didn't decide to give out 'Veteran' abilities as a joining incentive then the rest of us wouldn't have had a problem with it and would most likely not have them now. People are asking for the BET and beta clothing only because they'd really like it, not really because they'll think they'll get it.
#3630043964504/09/2008 08:23:43Re:So Like, where's my Mobius?
No one in MxO would have asked for Mobius or HJBeta if it stayed like that, but it didn't, the Devs messed up and gave them out willy nilly to anyone who played from a trial (which lets face it, is everyone now) and that screwed over every single person in between as they can be pretty useful abilities when your lucky (complete Immunity from everything) not to mention people getting rideculed for using a H-Pill after they use Mobius.
I think it is safe to say that everyone there was joking when they were saying they'd like to get a chance to get those items, as much as I'd like a FM-1500 I would never want them to have it openly available in a quest, I'd rather get it in a Live Event of some sort, Zion Operative bust into a Machine stronghold and discover a couple FM-1500s which Niobe emails to them later ^^

These two abilities were special, they had value. What do you give as an incentive? Something that is special, that has value. It's logical, especially if at least one of the items had been previously used as an incentive in the very same manner ("Try this game and get this special ability that no one else will have!".
The fact remains that this happened because all those who did not have these two abilities were able to cry louder than those who had earned them under the conditions they were originally given out. Mob rules, I guess.

The abilities lost their special status when they started getting given out again. Nobody complained until they gave them away freely with new trails, people weren't bothered that only the 'Vet's had it until the new trilees started getting it too. What they became were abilities that everyone could have unless you bought the game at a certain time in which case you could have a slap in the face instead. Out of the three groups 'Vets', Normal Subcribers, and Trialees, it was both the 'Vets' and Normal Subscribers who got screwed, 'Vets' because of the loss of status of the ability and Normal Subscribers because they were the only ones not to get it through no fault of their own.
It's not a matter of Mob rules its a matter of making up for the resumed marketing scheme by adding in something for those who got that slap to get the abilities in order to get things fair and square between the three parties.

The perception that not getting these abilities was a "slap to the face" is the reason for all the crying and whining.
I don't have a Burning Eye trench because, even though I was in Beta, I really didn't know much about reporting bugs because this was my first MMO. But according to your logic, I should consider not having the jacket today as a "slap in the face" because I was ignorant of the process of bug reporting?
And I maintain that these items didn't lose anything when they were given out to trial players. Less exclusive than they once were, yes, but still a reward for meeting a criteria that not every player can or did.

No, it was your ignorance and was not something out of your control. Ignorance is no excuse, that's why I didn't complain that I didn't get my abilities for my trial until they were given away with new trials. You can consider it a slap in the face, just by your own doing.
There was a new criteria added to the list... getting 40 sticks of gum. Even the Dev's must have thought it was unfair else they wouldn't have added in the collector, and dont give any rubbish about them bowing to player pressure about it else they'd have introduced a number of things not least Org weaponry for Zion and Merv.

People opposed everyone having the chance to obtain Mobius and HJBeta, so the ensueing debate was huge. With Org rewards, it should go without saying that all orgs should get a reward and only rewarding one org is a stupid and defeats the reason Rarebit is against Org abilities and thus, less people say anything about it and seems like less of an issue but it isn't.
