Stupid F2P Restrictions

Yeah a few I'd like to point out that I've not seen in other F2P games before.

A restriction on Death for F2P users, this isn't going to go down well, after 5 deaths you have to purchase a license to stop dying at the nearest point.

Sprint at level 1 disabled?

Purchase a weekly pass for flash points, nobody does flash points enough for you to provide it as a weekly pass?

Emergency fleet pass restrictions, gotta pay money to get an 18 hour cool down, good luck with that.

You might as well start charging people 50 cartel coins to login, or 50 cartel coins to buy an item from a vendor or to be able to sell.

Some of the features are stupid and you will get nothing but public out roar over it. Yes, I'm well aware some people can live without these features.

But i don't like it and im paying user who's been subscribed since release and i think some of these free to play changes are ridiculous, it's gotten to the point that the cash shop won't just be a content / cosmetic feature, but you people at Bioware will force new players to pay for most of the ground up features that are free in other games, so good luck with this plan because if you go through with it, it will most likely fail.

You can blame this crap more on EA than bioware. EA has stuff like this in a lot of there games.

There was no sprint at level 1 when many players leveled their first toon.
Just saying

Yeah i know that but you shouldn't have to pay cartel coins to unlock abilities, thats pretty much game breaking.

yeah. seriously. you don't exactly need speed on korriban

that's like complaining you can't use the first speeder at lvl 10 if you don't have your legacy unlocked yet.

game breaking? speed? yikes. reminds me of people yelling at me for joining warzones at lvl 10 because I didn't have speed yet and me still being the one with the top medals at the end...

I think its well deserved. People who would return during F2P will get their solo story line game with no sub. They will be able to sample everything else at restriction for free.

medic droid aint free u know,,and lightsabers dont run on solar power either

None of this will bother me, I will remain a subscriber. 5 in the field then to nearest med centre. Man, is it that bad. I look at the way "the MMO that shall not be named" has it by going to a grave yard and traveling back to your body, or res at the spirit in the grave yards with a debuff. I personally think the way SWTOR has it is far better. not to mention, if you have died in the field 5 times in a row and need to go back to a med centre, chances are you will need to be close to repairing your gear.

When I heard SWTOR was going FTP, I actually went and bought a month just so that I could come back into the game and fall in love with it. Now that I see the kinds of restrictions on FTP players, I'm once again facing the sinking, ice-in-the-gut feeling that is one simple fact: The game isn't worth paying to play, and FTP is just going to be a headache.

Three flashpoints a week? Outrageous. I run that on a new toon in the Esseles instantly. Three warzones a week? I burn them out in about two hours if that. Limiting inventory space and cargo hold space for cartel coins? Sheesh Bioware and EA, you might as well tell players "here is a butchered, neutered trial version of our game for you" and just get rid of the free-to-play notion.

Remember Free to play is just that Free. However a gaming company needs to make money so special stuff will cost you to unlock. Just like with free food......you don't really have a right to complain, if you don't like it then don't eat it.
