Anyways, I completely agree that BW is milking this game too much. you dont see other completely F2P games that ARE sucessfull (eg, Maplestory, GunZ, TF2, etc.) milk so much cash that they restrict equipment, UI, and Gameplay Elements.
You've just used the power of NECRO! But seriously, the restrictions are fine. Especially after you spend 5 bucks and become preferred.

Yeah, then we can ALL unsub and play for free! I'm sure the game will live on for years with zero subs!!

F2P Restrictions are intended to make you subscribe.You can write on forums about how stupid are F2P restrictions.Only subscribers can write on forums so F2P restrictions are working as intended and they are not stupid.

Although nothing interesting has been written since this was bumped up from October, I think it might be worth dicussing how FTP restrictions have been received (from a subscribers perspective of course).

Firstly, what wasn't mentioned (or not known) back when this thread was born, was that unlocks would be freely available for credits and as such the restrictions aren't as impossible as many would imagine. The absolutely new player after 15th (?) November wouldn't have known the game to be any different, so limited quickbars, lack of sprint at L1 etc. is not an issue for them. They work with what they are given, mostly content. In the three months since FTP, only twice have I heard a grumble and both times was when the FTP player got their first purple drop and realised they couldn't equip it.

And I've never seen "No FTP" in chat as someone predicted would happen.

The most grumbling I have seen - and even that isn't too bad - is from returning players whose Preferred Status wasn't enough for them. Being more aware of the restrictions placed upon them that's hardly surprising though. All in all, I think the FTP model has been a success.

Three flashpoints a week? Outrageous. I run that on a new toon in the Esseles instantly. Three warzones a week? I burn them out in about two hours if that. Limiting inventory space and cargo hold space for cartel coins? Sheesh Bioware and EA, you might as well tell players "here is a butchered, neutered trial version of our game for you" and just get rid of the free-to-play notion.
If you have the time to burn up your Flashpoints and Warzones in a short period of time, your playing the game enough that you should be subscribed (which you must be because you posting on forms). The point is to make you see the benefits of subscribing, not make you feel like your covered in loving warmth and give you a multi-million dollar MMO completely and entirely for no cost to you, that is foolishness. The fact you believe you should only belies that there is a problem with your sense of self entitlement, and says very little about the preferred/f2p options.

As a sub... I find the restrictions don't impact me in the slightest. As long as F2P keep buying stuff which they obviously are, I'm not concerned at all.
