Stupid F2P Restrictions

Wow i never really read into the restrictions that would come with F2P, i also just bought a month to get back into the game after months away to get ready for f2p. I never intended to continue paying but instead playing for free, However why would i even bother playing if you can only do 3 warzones / flashpoints per week? I see the game slowly dying already, making it f2p is a great idea but BW is going about it all wrong!

The entire point of the restrictions is to show the value of subscribing. You can play the watered down version for free, but if you want all of the bells and whistles, you are going to have to pay.

How is that wrong?

Ah. Well my point remains. I'm looking at the new players, the players you'd think Bioware would want to attract. If you die 5 times in a row to an encounter, you'll have to endure the travel back into the phase. Repeatedly if you continue to fail. If a single player game did that to me I would stop playing it. Enduring the punishment is not worth the reward.

As a subscriber I feel cheated by Bioware. We'll see a bunch of faceless strangers running through the worlds in the game while the end game players continue to roll their thumbs on board the fleet waiting for queues to pop. The F2Pers will add absolutely nothing to our experience. Perhaps someone will be lured to play the game but I still think that the gear gap between a fresh 50 and a veteran 50 is too wide. I think a fresh 50 would feel safer beating the story content and then leaving for another MMORPG. Because again, the selling point of this game has been the story, not the WoWified end game.

I am actualy very pleased with the F2P restrictions, alltho they are a little harsh, instead of 3 per week it should be about 5 per week but no more than that.

im paying for a subscription so i want to be able to feel like im getting my moneys worth

it would really suck if people who were playing for free were practicaly getting the same access and content as me

If you die 5 times in a row to an encounter , you will still have to wait ~30 minutes to get revived on field anyways plus you wanna repair your gear at this point.

Fair enough, forgot about that completely.

Is it really such a horrible thing to want a great experience for free? I mean, if I could pay $15 bucks for an XP boost, credit boost, and some kind of little non-balance-violating perk, I would at the drop of the hat to support the game because it doesn't lock me into anything. If one month something comes along and I don't have that $15 free cash to pay(I am a college student, my available fun-funds are relatively limited), I lose my perks but the game is still a fully enjoyable experience. The FTP mode they have however does not seem enjoyable and it seems like I'd be playing to headaches all the time.

Nobody agree with me?

You get cartel coins each month you paid so use them whenever the time that you run out of money.

After 5 deaths, you probably need to return to a med bot anyway, just to do repairs. Also, the timer for field revival keeps increasing.
