DarthTexas Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) That's a good way to upset your customers. See: http://www.swtor.com/free/features On the Item Equipping line, mousing over the Subscription column it says the following: Cannot equip most purple items unless an authorization is purchased from the Cartel Market. EDIT: As has been pointed out, the wording is different in the Free column ("license" instead of "authorization"), which suggests it's intentional and not a copy/paste error. EDIT: BioWare responed, post #88 Hello everyone! The incorrect tooltip for Item Equipping on this page has been corrected to properly reflect that subscribers will not experience a change to their ability to equip Artifact quality items. We apologize for any confusion the error may have caused. Edited October 17, 2012 by DarthTexas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrakensal Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I agree, this is a pretty cruddy way to treat people who actually pay to play this game. I'm wondering how much it's going to cost us in the long run..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatile Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 It's more than likely a copy-pasta error, though you may want to report it via the website forms?

Chiltonium Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I dunno, the mouseover wording is different for each. one says license, one says authoriziation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGNbusa Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 All i have to say is it better be a mistake, because if not it would be a huge one on biofails part to make there subs have to pay to use purple armor!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidtheslayer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Says subscribers need to purchase authorisation and F2P need to buy a license. Whatever that means. Also going against the game design in that the F2P crafting and death parts will kill too much fun for F2Pers. Those two really feel like they're decided upon by people other than the ones who were steering SWTOR to launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxinator Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I pay to play, and nothing should change from how it is now except for more content! NOTHING should change, this better be a stupid mistake or else I will do stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 times revive in field will sure kill a lot of fun for f2p players and will anger a lot of ppl when they must part with f2p ppl in ops. I mean who die only 5 times in hm or nm ops ?

Tatile Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mr. Gonzalez is getting (another) PM from me today: http://www.swtor.com/free/features On the Features page it states under the row of "Item Equipping": Subscribers: Cannot equip most purple items unless authorization is purchased from the Cartel Market. Free2Play: Cannot equip most purple items unless a license is purchased from the Cartel Market. (Emphasis mine.) Is this correct? Will Subscribers have to pay extra to access content they already have access to under the current subscription model? Mr. Gonzalez doesn't read my messages anymore, so someone else should think of contacting Bioware as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorii Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I kinda assume this is an error or means something different to what it sounds like, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAVM Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 So if you were a subscriber with any good end game gear and want to play for free, it'll cost a fortune to do it. As for subs paying for purple gear, if that "authorization" isn't free, I'll seriously consider quitting out of principle. How the #$*& is it considered "Full Access" if I have to pay to unlock it.

Blackavaar Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) What I see is... Item Equipping > FULL ACCESS The mouse over is mistaken just copied from the F2P side (with older text, authorization instead of license) and must be wrong because it directly contradicts the words you are mousing over.
