Stupid F2P Restrictions

Yes, you can continue to give suggestions to Bioware as an unpaid consultant on a forum that the people that make these decision will never read. You can suggest how to fix the model that has never been tested in this game and therefore hasn't been proven to be incorrect. In fact many of the things such as the 3 warzones per week restriction are mentioned in the marketing video for the F2P launch. That's set in stone at least initially based on that.

You would be spinning your wheels and getting all worked up posting your suggestions but you can post whatever you like.

Believing however that you can make any difference at all to their plans is complete and total lunacy. If you accept this when you post suggestions then I can understand that at least. Everyone wants to be heard even when we know it's futile.

But... but.. I heard somewhere that 1 man CAN make a difference???????

Only in Tiddilywinks.

Wow I haven't heard that in a looooooooooong time.

To believe you cannot make a change yet to try is not lunacy, it is the very foundation of hope and the human spirit. Hell, it's the very foundation of the Republic in game; fighting against all odds and overcoming insurmountable obstacles by sheer force of will.

If you say that you cannot and don't even try, then you have already let yourself be defeated by your worst enemy, your own self doubt. It is more an argument of logic, I would rather go out swinging than sit and wait for the end. In this case, I'd rather voice my opinion, even if it is never heard, than just sit by and say "If only I could have..."

That's not what I said. To better clarify that I said: Believing that you will make an impact (in this scenario) is lunacy. Doing it anyway is human nature. We all need to be more important than we are to justify ourselves. And I can understand that.

There's more I'd expand upon about the nature of our self worth but it's not on topic for this forum.

lololol

I know what you meant and I don't disagree entirely with you, but in this case, while the odds are stacked against you to ever make a change, I do disagree that it is lunacy. I'd rather place a one-in-a-million shot on a chance to change the future than no shot at all, and I believe that to be a sane judgement.

Wife and I will be dropping our subscriptions and going the FTP route. As it is, we rarely find time to play, and when we do it's only for about three hours a week at most.

Neither of us do Warzones or flashpoints, so can't see a valid reason to continue paying for a subscription. We just like to play the story lines cooperatively, and FTP will allow us to do that when we want to.

The same sentiment was put forth about the name "wizard". It is one of the few times when they made the wise choice of taking good advice from the community.

In beta, I believe the beta community gave quite a bit of good advice. Some of those folks are in this thread today...giving the same moderate constructive advice.

I think most reasonable folks do not find a problem with the system as is it is set up, would prefer to see a few small changes to entice former players back.

At any rate, futile or not, I made my suggestions with respect to the F2P system and stand by those suggestions.
