Pay to Win

That's because like a few other people here, you made a big mistake. You thought this game went f2p. It hasn't.

When you played originally, you were subbed. Surprise surprise, if you sub, you will get all that stuff again. Why? Because that's how the game was set up and there still are subs. Again, this game didn't go f2p, it isn't f2p but it has an f2p option with a number of limitations.

But please people, just get this through your thick skulls, just because this game has f2p options, doesn't mean the game is f2p now. It still clearly supports subs and as such, you can never expect to get the same options as subbed people. That's about as simple as adding 1+1 .....

I quit around last year due to their awful CS. So when I came back at F2P I was shocked and livid...Ill get to that later though. I played this game since beta. I spent $85 on it upfront and did 4-5 months of subbing before i quit so a total of 180$ spent on this game. So while I wasn't playing anymore due to my problems I ran in with CS. I noticed, "SWTOR going F2P!" And I was like wow! really awesome! maybe now this game will have fixed all its problems added some new stuff and I can get back into it.

Ahaha no....I re install get on my smuggler (whos in full purple raid gear) and I noticed...where are my quick bars? why cant I hide my helmet? Why do I only have 4 character slots? what? I can only do a few warzone but I love PvP? I was just shocked keep in mind I spent over 180 dollars on this game prior. So this was a huge slap in the face to me a loyal customer who followed this game since 2009 and I cant even enjoy the game anymore. Even though it has that big Free To Play! sticker on it. Keep in mind I asked around in chat (the limited chat i could even say) And people had the nerve to tell me "you should be glad your even able to play this game in the first place" Once I told them that ive payed for this game a long with months of subbing (founder title) they shut the heck up.

So in all Why would Bioware/EA think its okay to do this to people who bought the game fair and square. I mean GW2, Tera, Rift, Never-winter, Aion, and many others don't do this. Ive loved Star-Wars since I was 5 years old which is why i put it above the others. I mean there isn't even atleast some cool thing they give to members who bought the game when it launched? Like "Alright since you bought our game which was 85 for the deluxe you can alteast have all your quickbars." Anyways rant over. Its late and i'm very tired so mind the grammar, but this is my fuss on SWTOR free to try model. Good Night.

Also (I pray every day that they will see the light and remove these restrictions to free to play members and make the cartel shop worth spending money on so that it gives and incentive for f2p players to buy from it, not just limit them till they just quit. But aleast keep some limits there like exp and small small things. But remove ALL limits for ppl who bought the game! ) and plz remove when you take out a dye it destroys I mean really? just let us take it out like a normal mod!

We who actually support the game at launch by buying the actual game are treated as someone who paid 5$ on the cartel market.

Those are unbiased opinions.

Huh...So the big "NOW FREE TO PLAY" is just for decoration?

I ask you... can you play it for free?

If the games are actually better, then you should play them and not pay your sucscription just to be able to write here.

Subscription does need to have a benefit over F2P players and to be honest, this "I want all of it and not pay a thing" attitude is getting rediculous. How many of those, who want F2P without restrictions are offering their workforce for free and tell their customers: "Pay, if you feel like it or if you want a little fancy goody, but the whole package is free".
Do you go to your car broker and ask for a car to be completely free, if you agree for it to not have air conditioning? Do you go shoppng and expect all clothes that are not of top class designers to be free for all? Do you expect a movie to be free and popcorn be optional and the theatres only way to actually get their bills paid?

Why in the heck do you then expect a multi-million dollar product to be fully available for free with no restrictions?

Then you give a couple of examples of business struggling if they suddenly gave away products for free, yadda yadda, my my your such an amazing businessman. But yet you forget to mention the biggest pc-multiplayer market (LoL) is free...hmm wonder why that is..oh well.
