Many turbine f2p fanbois here. I don't see why it is so much better than other games.. Yeah sure you can just sub but if I remember right you will have to unlock some classes and tier 6 crafting?

In DDO they sell potions, hirelings, gear and 32point build in the cash shop and all of you still think it's better than other f2ps (Well, yeah. The game is but not the cash shop).

Haven't played lotro for a while but this won't make me try it again. If I play f2p I want to get all the content for free and I don't give a shit if someone is little better than me because of some potions he bought from cash shop. I just want to enjoy all the quests and zones for free..  It's pve game after all.

Its always amazing to read just how many companies make games they dont care about, nor care if they make any money from subscriptions. That my friends, is the most evil money making greed plot i have ever heard.

They pump in millions just to get you to buy the 9.99 box. Those bastards!

Funny, I didnt see that at all. What I see is someone who played the game until realizing that Turbine had no interest in providing content for the sub payers who were at level cap for a long time. I also saw that instead of creating said content they were more intent on free weekends and making book quests solo in hopes of attracting more low level players to leave stranded at level cap along with developing a new F2P cash shop model for both of their games and using the funds payed by players to do so. But perhaps I see this because after nearly three years of playing I also didnt like the game.

Well, at least I appreciate you are not using coarse language. I understand what you mean, nobody is denying that Turbine had made some mistake in the past. However, this long period without xpac was also due to plans to implement the F2P, which is a huge coding work.

If nothing else, DDO demonstrated that the transition worked. True, DDO and LOTRO are a different kind of game, but I'm willing to give Turbine the benefit of doubt, as at least they are making some efforts to improve the game.

In fact, many people (not saying you are) who criticize the game are people who played without pause for three years and were burned out. I think that happens in every MMOs, I have a few cases in my kin but I'm sure that they will eventually come back. Nothing wrong in taking a pause from time to time.

 If you have previously paid for any content, SoA, MoM, SoM, then you do not have to pay again to unlock this content. Even if you do not sub.

 That is wrong, they have said you get the xpac content only.  The soa stuff is going to have to be unlocked if you decide to roll any alts. In fact that entire thing played out today in the forums and Victorie the blue name locked and move the thread and admonsihed all involved in it.  They will be posting a new faq about the soa content in the next day or so.

Turbine is a bunch of cat lovers, damn furries.

Them evil bastages wantin r $ for nothing, how dare they make bunnies cute!

/relevance back on, maybe

I have always been fascinated with the 'end gamers' and their copeous meldramatic 'you owe us More, Now!' crybabying.

If it is the End of the Game, and you are bored, move on to something else and let those who are yet to get there have the same fun you had, or more.  I personally find it a bad trend that consumers are Expected to clamour for additional content forever, did we not learn anything from Sims?  buhahaha

If they don't have spammers now, it's because they went packing when the population began to decline.  3 months ago, people were spamming bree with what appeared to be relative immunity, and you would see the mining macro's running around northern breeland in little flocks.

So if they fixed that, then great, but I wasn't just making up the problems they have at least had recently.

I've played off and on since beta, over several servers. 

There was a point when gold sellers would spam your mailbox, but Turbine took quick steps (what they did I don't know), and the problem quickly dissapeared.

And mining macroers?  Really?  Never seen anyone I suspected of hacking or macroing. 

If there were "packs" of mining macroers running about, wouldn't all of the resources mined have flooded the market and driven down the price of ore?  I don't recall ever seeing a mass influx of mined resources, and to this day, selling ore remains one of the best ways to make money in game, precisely because there is less supply than demand.

I get the feeling you may have had some interesting point to make, but you destroyed any hope of an illegent conversation when you started making things up.

Exactly. Why should greedy sub payers and lifers expect their money to be spent on more content? Dont they know that people are suffering? Some cannot afford a sub fee or are unable to spend as much time playing as others and they are entitled to play, be viable and be able to attain status no matter how much money or time they have. I for one am all for the redistribution of sub funds. This F2P models is change we can believe in.
