Kenjigreat Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) That is my largest concern. I personally hate the F2P but i agree with the guy that said NO Ops for F2P otherwise there would be no incentive to sub. Anyone has comments on how this thing will go ?

Nyoro Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We don't really have any solid information at this point so anything anyone says is pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xothos Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 That is my largest concern. I personally hate the F2P but i agree with the guy that said NO Ops for F2P otherwise there would be no incentive to sub. Anyone has comments on how this thing will go ? Not many details out yet. It seems mostly cosmetic and quality of life features now. Social gear with new looks, more bag space, and the such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyuncle Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This is my main concern as well. I have read somewhere you are able to buy 'Boosts' with Cartel Coins and BioWare have not specified what these boosts are. I am very curious about these coins, but I have a feeling it is just another way for EA to monetize the game by taking advantage of F2P players. This is EA, they'll always find a way to monetize the game one way or another. Even so, they do not care what we think anyway - I remember watching something by an EA representative that basically said 'We do not care about your opinion unless you have developed games before'. This is a large majority of us, we might as well just forget about complaining and get back to the game, our opinions will not be taken into account.

Kenjigreat Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think more people are like me . They dont like F2P but P2W would make us quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmder-Shepard Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If it goes P2W you can bet alot of us will just use the door and not look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utania Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 As long as stuff that you buy doesn't push you beyond what you get for a subscription I wouldn't want to play a game where you can buy perks that push you beyond what a subscriber can get.

Kenjigreat Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I dont want it to be a way to artificially keep the casuals . If Cartel Coins is monthly reward and gives people a chance to buy the equivalent of Campaign or Blackhole . That would be BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegaPhone Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) That is my largest concern. I personally hate the F2P but i agree with the guy that said NO Ops for F2P otherwise there would be no incentive to sub. Anyone has comments on how this thing will go ? They should divide it as expansions. The mistake from the beginning was that BW had patches of free content when they should have had a B2P or the GW1 model from the beginning. Then they could have planned better to have the important things at launch without the need of patches, and have enough end game content so people can wait for the expansion and pay for that. Then there is no issue of transitions from P2P to F2P/B2B, since it should have been like that. P2P seems like the standard of milking people during the hype phase with an unfinished MMO. Its the MMO trend, and the only fluke that manages to be a major success with P2P is WoW, but its also that it has a strong presence in the gaming community with Warcraft 1/2/3 and of course SC.
