Stupid F2P Restrictions

And they give you everything for free without the need to ever spend any money?

Not to mention that it only takes most people a day or two to get to level 14 in order to get the sprint feature... Hardcore players will probably do it in a few hours...

There will be some things subscribers get that F2P don't and that is the way it should be.

Just because you are choosing to play the game is the F2P subscription plan other than the other one doesn't mean you should get everything a $15.00 subscriber gets. There has to be some differences and in addition Bioware when they first announced the F2P plan they did state at the beginning there would be some perks that the regular subscriber would have that the F2P wouldn't have.

This has always been stated from the day they announced the F2P even though the specifics were not mention.

The ony perk I see that I disagree with is the purple armor as some of that drops as when you are leveling.

Regarding the sprint it was not that big of deal at launch as most of the people had no problem with it and it is not really that important as it does not effect your gameplay. It is just maybe a convience, which half the time I don't even use,.

Some F2P games do in the hopes that you will spend money on fluff items and Pay to Win items....

If Bioware went true Free to play then they would need to add Pay to Win Items in order to make any money, and IMO that would probably destroy the game....

Indeed :-).

I have no problem with others getting commodity features I had to do without. I just wanted to point out that some of the 'restrictions' in F2P really aren't a big deal. Others are, but "Not getting Sprint at Level 1" isn't one of them.

Hmmm this just occurred to me concering this subject:

Do they mean ALL purple or specific Purple.

Purple = Artifact (super rare) items, much less common than blue. Schematics for purple versions of blue items can be learned by repeated reverse engineering of the blue version.

or

Deep Purple = Legendary (super-duper rare).

or BOTH.

No. But they have fewer/better restrictions, and actually encourage me to spend money.

Have you spent up to or more than $180 in a years time?

I've played most F2P games and I completely disagree. Most of those games couldn't keep me interested long enough to want to spend money. SWTOR is giving away the class story lines. That's a way better incentive to play this game over a game like LOTRO, IMO.

$15 is the flat standard; pretty much asking a company, industry, etc to change a price because X people don't have as much as before. Not trying to be a d@$! but that is just selfish.

It's like walking into a Best Buy (or any store, etc) and asking someone if you specifically can get a lower price on a new TV because you haven't had the greatest year, while those who have had decent enough years could afford the cost.
