I seem to be in the minority in that I really liked the game. I'm glad to see it's going to free-to-play so I can play through the other stories when I feel like it. It's a shame they've gone as far as they did to hamper the free-to-play characters but I'm still excited. With luck and little common sense, they'll ease up a bit later on.
I'm actually
still a paying customer. Been so since launch. I enjoy the game. But not for it's MMO aspects, more so I like the character stories (as I think pretty much everyone does). Someone said it earlier, but I don't understand why Bioware won't give us more of that. Once people finish their main class story, there is no reason to keep playing. The majority of players came for the
story. Now, instead of expanding it, they keep pumping out battlegrounds and flashpoints. Oh well. Back on point.
I really would love to know what they were thinking when they decided those restrictions. IIRC, when they first announced it was going f2p, they were going to limit flashpoints and PvP. But now they are taking out fleet passes, item usage, crew skills etc? That's insane. If anything, this whole thing paints EA/Bioware in an almost passive aggressive light. I can't imagine they will be attracting many new players with this. Maybe at first, but those limits are going to get old fast.
