I'm not sure about Transfer tokens. My reply from support didn't talk about those. However, it looks like everyone got the Transfer token on Oct. 1. So, they may simply do that on the first of every month.
edit: I posted this in another thread, based on my reply from Support. Figured I might as well repost it here, since it might help some folks' confusion....

Starting October 1, you should get your Points on the renewal date in October. Tokens are awarded at the end of the current paid playtime. In other words, Tokens are backloaded at the end of each paid/played month. So, you should get a Token 1 month after your first renewal date after the launch of Freedom. |

I already said that the new Reward System has nothing to do with being a 'Veteran'. |

So I say, maybe you'll feel better about it if you don't think of it as a Vet program anymore. Because it isn't, per se.

| In reading subsequent posts, it's become clear that you are, in fact, annoyed with any purchased perk -- which is certainly your right, and even understandable to a degree given that games are generally based on parity -- but it kinda ends the conversation before it starts. |
And to reply to the person that said that people who bought multiple boxes of the game have been rewarded with those perks and game time...
People who buy points can get more items from the store, meaning they can enjoy more content than people who can't spend money on Points to get that content. That's also being rewarded for your purchase, isn't it?
So you are contradicting yourself. I'll put it in a simple context:
-Regarding the 1 Token for any amount of game boxes bought:
People who bought only one box should not get less Reward Tokens than people who bought more boxes and spend more money on the game.
-Regarding money spend on Paragon Points:
People who spend more money buying points, should get more Reward Tokens than people who can't or won't.
It's not just you who's contradicting yourself, the Dev's are included in this view.

I'd like to see some official statement addressing this rather than sitting and hoping it will resolve in a timely manner. I have a renewal date on the 1st of each month and have my transfer awarded but thats it at this point. We'll see our regular maintenance tomorrow. That being said it would be easier to judge if things are operating as intended if we new officially the way the developers expected things to operate because until we do it's all just guessing and hoping which does not make for a very trusting costumer base.
This post, from this thread, is the closest we have at the moment. (Quote below for those who do not want to click through.)
I would expect an official post in the next day, or two. Three on the outside.

I do apologize if there was confusion caused by the rewarding of Paragon Points on differing dates and we'll work to clarify this and the Reward Token schedule ASAP. |
i got a question regarding Tier 9 VIP Paragon Rewards that iveh eard osme little bits of info about but one vital aspect remains unclear: so the Tier 9 VIP Sets are Limited Time, i read somewhere their also on a Rotation cycle, so what i want to ASK is:
say hte time comes when Celestial Armor is removed as Tier 9 VIP Rewards, supposing the Rotation Cycle thing was actually true, will it be added back in again eventually?
i dont feel too good about spending 200+ dollars on PP just to get the 3 Tier 9 VIP Rewards with Celestial Armor before it gets removed
The whole rewards system seems to be something of a mess from my point of view. A number of us are missing a load of reward tokens (and the bonus 150 market points that we should also have received) and have had our tickets closed with no resolution or notification and there seems to be no fix in sight. It's somewhat of a disincentive to spend any more cash.

The only real question I have is, "Should we be petitioning/opening CS tickets?" I had thought the answer was, "No, just give us some extra time," but I'm thinking the answer these days is, "Yes, we can't really tell what is going on."
