Dear Bioware a better F2P model will make you money !

I wouldn't drop my sub if you game me an allocation of cartel points = to the cost of the sub or maybe just over + continued discounts on future expansions.

There's a ton of ways you could get around this issue and make people who have subs feel valued, honestly my biggest concern is grouping/que times take forever I feel as tho Bioware should be doing as much as they can to make the game convenient for me, the problem low active player count the solution should be to get as many people in as possible before I unsub because it takes me 20 minutes to get into a group.

The better the games free to play structure the more time people invest the more time people invest the more they spend on micro transactions.
Also the more people playing the more alive the game-world feels and the more time people want to spend in it.

Interesting how most of the revenue for games comes from micro transactions now Team fortress and the hat store spring to mind.

claiming cosmetic micro-transactions would not be profitable is silly.
even non cosmetic things increasing your carry capacity buying level 1 speeder access, leveling gear, all kinds of things can be done to make a profit without subs saying "no subs, no money" is ignorant at best

If your friends like this game but in the same time are so cheap that they aren't willing to spend 5$ in the cartel market for preferred status then they should play something else.
The restrictions for the most part are good and working as intended, because the idea is that those who subscribe get much more than those who want to save their money, as it should be, shocking, i know.

One of my friends stopped subscribing because of some temporary money problems, but he plays as preferred for now and buys an occasional unlock or authorization here and there without ************ about it and barking at Bioware how everything should be free and handed to him on a bloody silver platter.

That make no sense.. if you add more players the % of Tank/heals wont change, we already seen that with the first server merge.
2 heals -----> 20 tanks
2 tanks ------> 20 heals
10 dps -------> 100 dps

Just reroll a tank/heal if you arent happy with queue time and love to over-exaggerate, my queue are less than 10 min and il be a dps forever.

If every player felt this way there would never be a game to play. Get over yourself, if you don't like the f2p restrictions and you don't want to pay your sub then there are other games.

< main is a tank alt is a healer, both get long arse ques

Then you must do something wrong... like only play when everyone else is sleeping or something, or be an Euro on a US server.

I as DPS on the Red Eclipse never have to wait very long... the server is already overcrowded with people...

^ I pay a sub read the thread.
As someone who has paid since and even before (pre order) day one I feel bioware should provide a decent play experience.

Sorry, but if someone can get something for free, there is no way in hell they will pay......in the end, its human nature to look for the cheapest solution regardless of its outcome.

I'd pay for micro-transaction stuff, I say that because I do the inventory space across all toons is amazing for starting alts and some of the cosmetic fluff is cool too.

if your statement were true no one would buy games or see movies in cinemas they would just pirate them.
