cycao Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You will have an advantage, they are limiting resources of what a F2P player has over paying subscribers but in reality all I heard is I need a crutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinzo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The fact that they can't obtain gear as fast because they are limited in the amount of WZ they can do is an advantage. Why would you want an advantage anyway? Do you feel better about yourself because you can beat players with inferior gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGLYMRJ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 lol pfffft, what do you care. Apparently you don't wanna be able to advance past lvl 49 as per your other post. I LOL'd.... But seriously OP... did you even read the details? They're going to be so limited that subscribers will have a huge advantage. Can you imagine trying to grind WH gear if you're limited to say 10 or 20 WZ's a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majspuffen Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Explain to me; why would you want a serious advantage over anybody? I for one want more balanced teams in warzones. I'd continue to pay a subscription fee to this game out of interest, not because I want to be better than anyone else. If SWTOR becomes pay to win I'll burn my collector's edition box.

WHY=He can't beat people equally geared to him. As referenced in his other post that he wants the XP gain disabled at will at lvl 49 so he can fully augment and Twink out his character to roll lvl 10's in leveling greens in the 10-49 bracket.

Xerain Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 So you should be able to buy an advantage? You kind already are with unlimited access to warzones and operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGLYMRJ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You kind already are with unlimited access to warzones and operations. Seriously... the F2P'ers will pay up or get out. How long would you still play the game or even bother having it installed if you could only do 10-20 WZ"s a week? I'm assuming it'll be right around there but seriously... I play that many in one night. We will have a huge advantage over teh F2P'ers which is why it'll in turn create more subs. They'll pay or leave with the exception of the KOTOR fans who enjoy the story line and simple PvE content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vimm Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You kind already are with unlimited access to warzones and operations. That's something that shouldn't be limited in the first place though. I mean, it's just the way it is already. Enabling the ability for non-subscribers to have limited warzone access doesn't make people who are already paying to play have an advantage that they're paying for. I see your point, but it doesn't correlate to the one I was making d: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want an advantage anyway? Do you feel better about yourself because you can beat players with inferior gear?Not to be like that but 95 % of the players would probably embrace that advantage.

UGLYMRJ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well the PvE Content is also limited since they can't do Operations. I'm talking main story line... the 1-50 PvE content not including FP's and Ops. Even most PvE'ers will pay up or get out as well I'm assuming. From what I see it's actually a pretty smart way to attract new subs. I can't see many people enjoying the F2P set up for more than a month or MAYBE 2. It would get boring quick. I think the biggest mistake they made was calling it "Free to play"... give existing players the wrong impression of what it is... everyone automatically assumes it's being taken over by Nexon.

ifizzle Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Highlighted for TRUTH. its not that i cant beat anyone...its the grind for gear at 50...and the expertise in armor..i think the game should be more skill based..and i never said i have a level 49...i said "diable xp option" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGLYMRJ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yep, because most people didn't read beyond the title. Honestly, they should have seem that coming, lol. The sad thing is the title of their marketing strategy alone will probably lose them half of the amount of the subs they gain. You can see it all over the forums. People are freaking out and cancelling subs before it even happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
