We need a better F2P model

He is paying. F2P can't post. You argue that F2P gets enough, yet you don't know this basic difference? lol

And the OP is right...the restrictions Bioware has are simply penalties to the F2P player, they do nothing to incentivize subscriptions. Players who aren't already paying, have no incentive to pay more as they can only go so far in the game and don't even get a taste of the bigger stuff.

My suggestions:
- remove the WZ limits for F2P above level 30 (or increase limit to 5 per day)
- Increase WZ coms/credits for subs by 25%, decrease F2P coms/credits/valor by 50%
- remove weekly Ops limit for Subs (or allow 2 at the very least)
- allow F2P any (Story mode) Classic Ops once per week (as subs are currently limited)
- sell a credit unlock/increase

I doubt how much of a F2P community there really is in this game though.

He is wrong and you are wrong...
the player plays for free. He has no right to complain.If he wants the whole thing. sub.

youre a idiot,he is a sub. YOU CANT POST IF YOU ARENT A SUB

go make a f2p account right now and try to post moron

You are the idiot.i was not talking about the OP
I was talking about F2P players. learn to read before you call me names.

You're trying to tell me that my opinion is wrong? Pfft lol - how simpleminded. 2 million people have PAID for this game and QUIT! The need to incentivize subscriptions is very real. F2P players need to see something, while they are playing for FREE, that makes them WANT to subscribe, where 2 million other people who WERE interested enough in the game to financially invest in it QUIT.

When you can buy unlocks for most of the restrictions with in-game credits, there is no need to change the F2P model.

Say what you will but most Subscribers who say stuff like this is because they want the exact same experience they get as a subscriber for free. If they can get that, then they can drop their sub and play for free. Forget that. And further more, if they gave everything for free and just boosted the amount of credits and comms subscribers get, you would have more people bumping up against caps and blowing through content faster making it even harder for the dev team to keep up with peoples demands. You know it would happen. I'm sorry but the last time I checked, SWTOR was the second biggest mmo on the market currently. If all these other games have such a better model, why aren't their numbers better than swtors? If Rift was doing so good right now, why would they have to even adopt a f2p model to compete with swtor? They would already be a head of it right?

Actually, F2Ps do have access to all content, sans expansion. Content is not how many crafting skills you have, or how many quickbars or when you get your mount. Those are all QoL features. The only thing we are missing is subscriber-only benefits (aside from cartel coins grant)

They have to buy weekly pass for OPs. They have limited access to fps, wzs and loot while leveling. They have to buy a unlock in order to wear epic armor, enter section x and i am not shure if this is correct black hole.
You are right no content is missing.

My personal experience is that STO's model is one of the best out there. After subscribing years ago, I went back and played a bit a few months ago as a F2P player. I swear I didn't notice any difference than when I was subbing. Sure, there are subscriber benefits, but the key is that I didn't notice. Believe me - when I tried SWTOR as a preferred player, I absolutely noticed several restrictions (action bars, character slots, inventory, xp gain) and was convinced it was not for me - so I resubbed.

Which of course is exactly what EA/BW wants.
