Unsubscriber's Thread: Tell us a few things

Why are you even arguing this?

Awwww, aren't you a cute one. You should change your name to StrawMan

Didn't see this earlier.

The people who wanted it changed in the first place threatened to unsub if it wasn't changed.

Checked the first 75 ones and only 3 are still active:

• Charles Boyd Lead Writer
• Mark Richards Art Director
• David Demaree Associate Designer
• Bret Hoffman Associate Designer

Eye candy that in most cases lacks any kind of taste. And those rewards are useless when they bar non-subscribers from playing the flashpoints with their friends who are subscribers.

No matter how many character slots you have, there will always be a limited number at a given level range. The end result is that the current programming punishes non-subscribers with restrictions and xp loss such that subscribers cannot play with them and remain the same level. Or must deliberately not play while their friends spend days or weeks farming for enough experience for them to continue playing together.

You infer that I should pay the subscription fee for everyone with which I would enjoy playing the game? How much will that be? Thousands? Tens of Thousands? You imply that the onerous nature of the amount is mine and therefor the financial burden is inferred as my obligation. The other option is that you failed to pay attention to detail.

Not everyone has the same opportunities. To assume you represent the circumstances, loyalties, and conditions of everyone else would be an egregious fallacy of ego. This sounds to me more like the argument of those who succeeded as the children of first generation immigrants for whom the system with all its affirmative action was highly supportive. They became middle class or better representatives of a success because for them the system worked - and then assumed that the same was an equally true opportunity for everyone else - including those excluded from even applying regardless of merit in order to provide them an opportunity.

From repeating Flashpoints for credits and gear. As non-subscribers all benefits are eliminated after the third time each week. And anyone who would take ask their friends to the party, making them sit with empty plates, while they eat cake is utterly lacking in manners and morality as a human being.

True. They should choose not to play. When it is made clear that your occasional purchases are virtually discounted, that you are not wanted, that your participation is tolerated at best only because the Jones family showed you up by being more magnanimous (as it is in many many other games with non-subscription structures), then normal people are going to go elsewhere.

No. This is refused on moral grounds. When I was in the service, every soldier was responsible for his own gear.

um...OK.
Let's pretend they did.
Does that make it any less pointless when the people who wanted it to remain as it was do it?
Nope.
Threatening to quit over every single detail that you (or anyone else, for that matter) don't like isn't really going to make a difference because the devs know that you are most likely to threaten to quit yet again when some other minor detail is changed or added. And if you don't quit now, you'll just quit then. If you are willing to quit a game that you must have spent hours upon hours playing over something like this, there is no way for the devs to ever hope to keep you pleased and subscribed in the long haul.

please try not to take this as a personal attack because I really don't mean it like that.

But you don't understand, we're just trying to be responsible and take care of your gear since, you know, you won't be here to do it.

You should have gone to 77 - he has YOU on his friends list

If you read his general info, he claims to be the first non bw employee to register on the site..

Yeah, nobody cares you were IN DA SERVICE RAWR! IMMA SOLDERZ!

Why do people feel the need to take every instance and point out they were a hardcore human killer employed by a country?
