_FeatherStone_ Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I am pretty sure we are all glad that you are more than happy to help when we have issues. But I just have one question. Why not allow F2P/ Subs to even participate on forums or create tickets? Do you guys care about the "Community", or is the "Community" to you guys just the subs?!?!?!

Sangrar Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I don't know about the customer service, but the forums is for a reason. A complete f2p player should not be allowed to post as anyone could then create an account to spam and troll the forums again and again. Preffered is still debatable.

And still other F2P MMOs somehow seem to have Silver/Preferred players at least use the forums...many have the support forums open to even the complete F2P members.

Reno_Tarshil Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The support forum should be open at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoshkar Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The support forum should be open at least. This, as someone who has played some F2P games, and had an issue with said game. No sort of support = I quit that game, and never bothered with it again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what we need....gold sellers flooding the forums like they have general chat in the game, lol. If you're F2P, then you're not contributing any money to this game.....forums posting is a privilege, not a right. Besides, send your question or concern via email to support @swtor.com as your odds of getting your issues resolved are much quicker that way than through a support ticket or forum post. I go straight to email and don't even bother with the other two methods as email is much more reliable in terms of getting a prompt and relevant response.

Jamalzero Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) $10.00 for 1million credits gamereasy.com This is what would happen in every thread 20 times a day and be on the top of every page if F2P could post on the forums lololol For this reason F2P should never be allowed to post on the forums... all it takes is 1 bad apple to spoil the bunch... sad but true in this case....

Greyhamea Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Funny, never see that on the STO forums despite you only needing an account to post. You get more trolls from people who may not actually play, but that's about it. People are really overblowing the amount of gold sellers who post on F2P game forums.

I'm guessing you don't see a lot of gold sellers in-game in STO, either. I don't know, I don't play it. However, gold sellers tend to flock to games that are popular--that's where the money is. So it might be that you're not seeing any gold-selling posts on the STO forums because *there's no profit in it*. They also could just have crackerjack forum moderators.

I see about as many as I saw in WoW about a year ago and in this game before I stopped playing previously. MArket wise, I don't think that the these two are different enough for this game to suddenly get a flood of gold spammers. And this game can certainly limit it to prefered status, meaning they would have to at least pay money to post here (STO doesn't have this). Their forum mods are all volunteer and they are not around all the time. Either way, I think that the possibility of this happening is being way overblown.

What is your subscription worth to you? For me it gives me the right to make jokes in general SWTOR forum from the misery of F2P players. Second, why would we want to listen to complains from F2P players? Most answers to their problems can be answered with simple, 'Subscribe'!
