What you fail to get is that F2P is not attractive enough as it is. You need to strike a balance between giving subscribers advantages over giving F2P enough incentives to play and love the game.

This ain't a freakin department store! It's a freakin game where your decisions matter. Mistakes are part of the game! And this sure as hell ain't a single player game where you can reload a save file if you make a mistake.

"Being a subscriber does not make you entitled! You're just another player who "supports" the game!" F2P's are there to entice players who wants to try it out (and hopefully falls inlove with the game and subscribe which will not happen with the heavy restrictions) "These are not enough reason for subscribe players to unsubscribe as their are simply more ALOT MORE AND I MEAN ALOT MOREEEEEE advantages in being a subscribe player"

Entitlement at it's best.. Demands my ***! You don't get to make demands just because you're a subscriber!

It is indeed very clear at this stage yes. You can't see it because your blinded by whatever it is that blinds you to the fact that the game needs more players to stay afloat. You should see an eye doctor.

your issue is totally different from what the OP wanted.. OP wants to load a previous save file sort of lol.

That's enough info for me to know you don't have a valid claim. I think Customer Support makes a lot of sense here... You're the one who doesn't. This is a mistake on the player's part! Why in the world would you think Customer Support would allow this (Assuming they can and are allowed to at their whim.. ) Even if they have in some instances before which I doubt, it doesn't mean they should in general! here's another story: omg **** I accidentally discarded my loot! It was an honest mistake! I should file a ticket and have customer support put it back on my bag... uuuh no?

What you people don't understand is that the game severely needs to attract more players right now to attract even more players or at the very least keep the existing players from leaving out of boredom due to low population. Those recommendations will not sway most subscribers to go preferred. It surely wont at least for me.. There are other advantages out there for subscribers, not to mention the fact that I'm subscribed not merely for the advantages but because I support the game. What the game needs is to make people love it so those people will support it.. These heavy restrictions will just frustrate them and force them to leave before discovering the game's full potential. While us existing players are left to wonder why the population is slowly going down the drain. These heavy restrictions work if SWTOR is a top dog because people will want to play it regardless.. But let's face it, SWTOR is second rate at best and you need to play it for awhile to appreciate it and learn to love it, not to mention the fact that it's old and there are alot of new competitions out there. SWTOR can't afford to hand out these heavy restrictions to F2P players. They might be F2P but they keep the population in check.

I got mine.. But I want some more! Can I join you guys!?

Didn't even touch my HK helmet mail.. It can stay there forever like the rest of the garbage items I received from Bioware.

It's what forums are for.. Though trolling seems to be a majority entertainment nowadays. Enjoy your popcorn and your exclusive nico, protect him with all your might.

I'm sure you can.. I haven't finish CH3 but I can go there no probs.

Why would you even do this?... This game has always been about the story of me and my companions.. I couldn't care less about big raids or any sort of grouping that forces me to wait hours only to play nice with selfish egocentric loud boastful players. No.. I enjoy the game playing the story and having casual fun with new found friends. I came back from a long hiatus due to real life only to learn that I will never ever get a companion because it was made exclusive to someone subscribed on a certain few days? I dunno.. I don't wanna complain as I guess it wont be fair to people who scrape every penny to subscribe that day so they can have something exclusive but missing a companion forever seems awfully wrong. I'm just saying this sure makes me feel so deflated.. Of all the things you could have made exclusive it has to be something that is pretty much a part of the player itself. Hope you have some great things lined up because hearing this news killed all my enthusiasm for the game that has grown on me..

Thank you!

I want an ETA! I don't want to check every effing minute if the servers are up!!!

I am against the nerfing but I agree with the OP!

well that's not the farking point of this post now is it? the point is i'm pointing the finger back at the original poster.. but you've ruined it so i'm just gonna farking sleep.. forum's too green it's giving me headaches!

damn you still don't get it.. farking read it mate! verbatim my donkey-butt! you assume too much.. i'm on your side lol.. well at least i learned one thing: this shet does not work. abandon plan forum too green..

ya it's a repost all right.. and yes i'm the one who wrote the other one.. or maybe not! did you even read the first line..

Why do we care if these people crying for their useless companions leave? I mean really lets put the sugar coating and political correctness side. They are elitist and frankly has no life apart from this game . We have already spent hours reading guides, youtube videos, asking help, and etc . But most of them would rather spend 15 mins making the game unbearable with their elitist BS than leaving people alone to play their class however they want to play it. So why even care if they leave? If the game is too boring then they lack the understanding on how to make this game fun and should go If the game is too easy and refuse to make it hard for them by making adjustments with their companion or gear then they are in the wrong game and should go If they just plain hate the gameplay, they are burnt out and should move the heck on already If they just wanna CHALLENGE and enjoy competition they need to turn the game off and go play elitist friendly game instead. I mean these are the type of people who just sit in general spewing their elitist BS The type of people who go into a dungeon and expect everyone to know what he knows and spew elitist BS The type of people who kick players in warzones cause they refuse to listen to their elitist BS The type of people who frankly DO NOT enjoy the game anyhow and will likely complain no matter what. Do you want them in your guild? In your wazones? In your dungeon groups? I say I could do without for sure Ya population will suffer but the BEST time I have ever had in an mmo was in one where the population had dwindled down so greatly that you literally knew every guild on the server and it was a blast, When people who constantly complain about the game are finally gone, it becomes so much better.

just another troll bait thread.. i gues it's more fun to troll the forums than play the game now is it.. lol

there's no flaw in it.. it's called sampling! of course only unhappy people will voice their disappointment, thanks mr obvious. those unhappy people who voice their disappointment is a sample and from that you can deduce if not very accurately, what the majority of the populating thinks. the way I see it, the majority thinks this nerfing is stupid and totally out of proportion.

hell if i'm doing pvp or group runs by all means you're right! it's all fun! but solo runs and plain leveling is different. it's not challenge anymore! it's effing tedious!

so you're the one to blame afterall.. tsk!
