If you have trial accounts without chat limitations gold/credit sellers WILL use it for spamming people with messages. We're not making it up; it's been seen repeatedly in other games, which is why we're at this point. Paying customers should've have to suffer through spam messages in /1 just so someone playing for FREE can more easily find a group. Plain and simple.

Because the restrictions became standard because the spammers were in fact using the free trials to spam, till some developers go smart and started to put on restrictions. I remember the days in other MMOs before the restrictions happened, you literally had to leave general chat because there would be hundreds of gold spammers, general chat was useless, they took over.
How do you measure the success of an MMO? http://www.arena.net/blog/is-it-fun-...asures-success

What I want: 1) Dual spec for me and my comps 2) missions where I fight with all of my comps at once, we are a team 3) playable comp-only missions 4) Free flight PVE and PVP Space combat (i.e. X-Wing multiplayer) 5) Instanced areas that change based on our story, sand-box areas that are open.

Blame gold farmers / buyesr for this.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no fear; there is power. I am the mystery of darkness In balance with chaos and harmony, Immortal in the Force.
