YES, I play games for recreation why would I continue paying them money to provide me with a gaming service if it fails to entertain or is inconvenient ? Who has stated he has been and intends to continue being (even pre ordered the expansion) a paying customer /eye roll.

honestly even just bumping preferred access to suck slightly less would be better than the current system

I'd pay for micro-transaction stuff, I say that because I do the inventory space across all toons is amazing for starting alts and some of the cosmetic fluff is cool too. if your statement were true no one would buy games or see movies in cinemas they would just pirate them.

^ I pay a sub read the thread. As someone who has paid since and even before (pre order) day one I feel bioware should provide a decent play experience.

< main is a tank alt is a healer, both get long arse ques

Interesting how most of the revenue for games comes from micro transactions now Team fortress and the hat store spring to mind. claiming cosmetic micro-transactions would not be profitable is silly. even non cosmetic things increasing your carry capacity buying level 1 speeder access, leveling gear, all kinds of things can be done to make a profit without subs saying "no subs, no money" is ignorant at best

I wouldn't drop my sub if you game me an allocation of cartel points = to the cost of the sub or maybe just over + continued discounts on future expansions. There's a ton of ways you could get around this issue and make people who have subs feel valued, honestly my biggest concern is grouping/que times take forever I feel as tho Bioware should be doing as much as they can to make the game convenient for me, the problem low active player count the solution should be to get as many people in as possible before I unsub because it takes me 20 minutes to get into a group. The better the games free to play structure the more time people invest the more time people invest the more they spend on micro transactions. Also the more people playing the more alive the game-world feels and the more time people want to spend in it.

I have no intent nor have I stated I have an intent to drop my sub for all you know stop making silly assumptions Sherlock. I want the following, for ToR to not shut down in 1-2 years when it's deemed no longer profitable due to a minuscule player base. And to better enjoy my online experience cost does not bother me

Translation:trololololo

No i'd like to be able to play with my non sub friends in a less restricted manner. If bioware wants the game to be successful they are going to need to take steps to ensure it is, your sense of "I pay money entitlement is just silly. Treating F2P players like second citizens instead of prospective customers is doing things the wrong way and will not encourage them to hang around and pay more to get the rest of what they were offered.

Bioware I love you, you guys have given us some truely epic games but the current F2P model stinks. As a subscriber it's annoying playing with people that are so limited in so many ways, it would be great for yourselves and your community to remove the restrictions on the F2P model and encourage people to sub in other ways or even get rid of subs all together and replace them with micro transactions. In doing this you need to remember Pay to win is never the solution cartel points and cosmetic upgrades are however , tho having said that a set of bind on account leveling gear for 10-20 USD would probably sell like hot cakes.

Bit ridiculous that we are still waiting for a reasonable amount of info on this

250ish which is perfectly playable, I would stay but the community of the server I am on dies off to about 8 players late at night.

Have made enough friends/contacts on my server that I log on and get 6-7 different groups asking if I am interested I'm lovin it

I had a larf
