Exactly. Currently people who play for free can level up to 15 and that is it. Everything in the future of F2P is better than what they can do now. From a new player standpoint that starts when F2P hits, they will find that when they die they have to run back, (like most every other game out there) but they have 5 free uses to have a rez used to save them the trip. If they like that feature, they can pay to use it more.
Dear BW,
Please nerf paper and buff rock. Scissors is fine as is.

totally agree with you. I've seen Cash Shops with things like this ruin some cool F2P games where I spend money on items to get augmented bag space, another char slot, stuff like that. I think the death penalty is gamebreaking enough as it is now, there's no need to mess that up even more.

Not at all. Game breaking would be not being able to move at all. You'll just be moving slower without it.

The idea is to make some money off of people who won't pay the subscription price. I'm all for it. I don't think freeloaders should get everything that we pay for. If they want the convenience of moving faster, they'll pay for it. Otherwise they can put up with moving slower.

The same goes for the fleet pass and other features that we're getting as part of a subscription. Pay up or do without.

Except that I don't want to pay 15 bucks for what the game offers now. To me, I feel that it's not worth the value and I would love to continue to play FTP, but with all the restrictions I'd like lifted I might as well buy a sub. So, I come to an impasse; do I spend the $15 to play the game and regret spending the money, or do I not and lose interest because of the restrictions on FTP. Can you see my conundrum here? I understand that I might be asking for a lot, but honestly, when EA and BW started talking about the FTP version, it sounded like the game as it is now to subs was going to be free with XP / Credit / Perk boosts ala Cartel Coins.

Needless to say I'm a little disappointed and disheartened. I'd really like to stay, but I'm conflicted.

it doesn't take much for something to be worth 50 cents a day.

Either pay for the game.
Or use CARTEL COINS [which you can earn WITHOUT paying...] to get unrestricted access to the things others pay for.

You don't pay, you better believe you will need to do other things to play like you are.

People that are not willing or too cheap to shell out 15 dollars a month for this game are going to get what they pay for:
