Stupid F2P Restrictions

Only restriction I really have a problem with is "can't equip most purple items". Does this also apply to orange gear or any item with purple mods? I don't think I'd bother playing this game at all even for free if I couldn't wear certain gear without paying extra.

I just went back and re-read the text. It says you get five in-field then forced to med center. That actually makes sense. The way I read it the first time I thought they were saying med center was the only option and you just couldn't revive a 6th time if you died. Makes more sense after comprehending what I read

Starter planets being so small wasn't the reason we needed it. It was the capital planets when we had no sprint and couldn't use mounts at 10 at the time.

my question is what happens when someone sub runs out and their wearing that restricted purple gear does it automatically come off tell they pay or what should of just did it like STO f2p mainly just sell cosmetics and mounts
i also think some of the restrictions should be disable as long as you been sub for at least one month

From their various statements, it seems Bioware is going to take things away if you go from sub to free. Unlike other games where what you have you keep at the time. Even STO's restrictions can be unlocked like their EC limit on free accounts. Bioware seems like they are really playing hardball and we'll see how that works out for them. CoX had the more hardball approach too and we see what good that did them and Bioware is being harder than they were.

From on the QQ going on here from people this is what I partake from them.

I dont want to pay but I want to play all still.

My guild will lose members due to F2P now since people wont pay.

I was waiting for F2P to drop my sub but I still want to PVP all day for 9+ hours with out paying.

It isnt fair that sub players get all that but I dont.

If you dont like it than pay like the rest us of will. To all who keep saying this game isnt worth $15 a month than why are you complaining what you get with F2P? Did you all honestly think in f2p you will be able to run FP's WZ's an such as much as a subbed player. You got to be kidding yourself! Go look at DConline F2p they only get to carry $2k in cash after that they have to pay RL cash to get more ingame cash from their escrow. They get nnone of the expansions unless they buy stuff monthly. EQ2 you cant wear no fabled armor (purple here), No raids, limited cash, limited chat, cant be guilded, limited auction house, limited mail functions. EQ1 is the same but even worse.

I dont like that they give the buy in option to run OP's. That should be locked out and only available to sub players. All the other F2p settings are right on par. F2P is for the core of them game level 50 story line with a little perks to give you that small take to hope you spend or sub. Not to give you all for free and shaft paying players. Sub player are not paying monthly so you can play for free with all the options.

So people would just sub a month then have much less restrictions? Logic behind that?

Concerning your current gear:
As of NOW (subscription model), if you let your subscription wear off, you cannot use your gear either. Heck, you can't even log into the game!!
As of later, if you let your subrsciption wear off, you'll be able to log, but not equip your purple gear.

Either way, you win.

If those 2 extra seconds doesn't matter much then why not just give them sprint at level 1 then instead of possibly pissing off both non-subscribers and the subscribers they party with? Besides, 2 seconds every at every fight will quickly add up to minutes and even hours in the long run.

It may not affect me much but it does affect me if I choose to play with a non-subscriber. I was just using it as an example and say that it is possible that the restrictions to non-subscribers can affect subscribers and I think that is something Bioware should strive to avoid if possible.

And if you don't think it matters much if you have sprint or not, try leveling a character with sprint turned off and compare the leveling times with a character that uses sprint.

Btw, does it say anywhere when non-subscribers will get Sprint? Will they get it at level 14 (or whatever it was when SWTOR was released) or will they not be able to get it at all?

What I learned most from this thread was that a shocking number of presumed adults really can't comprehend written English very well, e.g, endless posts complaining about things that aren't actually happening.

It's like people read three words out of a sentence then come to rage post about it before reading the rest.

You get what you paid for. How is it NOT fair?
