I feel the pain. I dropped 900 crowns in the original BP and it felt a real kick in the teeth when it was offered for free.
I used to play Vigor every evening, sometimes boosting the loot or crate (depending on ADR users in the lobby!) however this left such a bad taste that I've found it difficult to load the game up.
It's a phenomenal game, but the writing is on the wall for me when the developers are so disrespectful to their paying player base.
