the only thing stupid about the F2P restrictions are the people complaining about them when for 50 cents a day they all disappear

it's like they don't realize the whole "F2P" deal is and always has been just a marketing gimmick
"bibo ergo sum" ( I drink, therefore I am)

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

Whining about 5 rezzes with med probe? Is this your first MMO? Thats a huge luxury option that doesnt even need to be there. WTB naked corpse runs across huge continents please.
I remember back in my first MMORPG Asheron’s Call, I carried around 12 VERY EXPENSIVE ‘Death Items’ So if I got killed in a spot I couldn’t get back to all I was out was maybe a million pyreals. Otherwise I could lose something I needed and would have EXP debt and **** to work off after trying to get back to my stuff without armor/weapons, it could go on for a few hours.

5 on the spot rezzes a day would have been awesome.

The only thing I see as off is the number of War Zones. I think that should be a little bit higher, and account wide so at least one character can finish the weekly. Other than say maybe 15 WZ's a week per server It's freemium, you want to have full enjoyment either sub or buy the passes, otherwise play less for free.

Shocking that quality of life features would be restricted for free players but included with a 50 cent a day subscription.

What can a free player do now?

What will they be able to do after the game goes F2P?

Which one is better?

I do agree that the devs have to be VERY careful not to turn off new players, specifically the ones unfamilar with MMO's.

Maybe let the first week or 2 of F2P have all the perks of a subscriber, before it lapses to the F2P restrictions. That way they know what they're missing and their first impressions are smoother.

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 retarded 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.
Dont like the restrictions? Pay for it.There will be no uproar since F2P wont know what they are missing until they play.Hey people were clamouring for this so here it is.Be careful what you wish for , you just might get it! LMAO!

I'm really worried about how they're going about monetizing things...

F2P should see them introduce new features that are monetized, not have them gut out the majority of existing features to monetize them. And a restriction on equipping items lol?

Backlash from ex subscribers that come back to see the main drive of f2p being nickle and dimming people for "QOL" stuff that makes the game less frustrating could be huge.
