Huh ? I am quite happy to have the F2P community here...as a player, I enjoy the company even though there is little opportunity for us to undertake many common endeavors because of the "nerf factor".

But the decision here was not the player's but the people paying the bills. How you feel F2P had anything to do with the decision to move to 2.0 is well beyond reason. Example:

1. I own a sports pub and 98% of my paying customers advise me that they won't be coming in to my establishment to drink out of their personalized beer mugs if I go ahead with my plan to discontinue the establishment's cable TV Sports Package.

2. I own a sports pub and 98% of my visitors advise me that they won't be coming in to my establishment if I no longer give away free personalized beer mugs.....mugs that don't bring in income since they aren't filling them.

Since I can't keep the doors open, pay my bills and feed my family w/o Group No. 1, my decision must be greatly influenced by Group No. 1's intentions. And while I may love all the guys in Group No. 2 who hang out w/ me every Sunday, the fact that they do not contribute to keeping those doors open means they have very little impact on what is simply a financial decision. I can't keep buying those beer mugs and I can't keep paying for having names printed on them w/o an income to offset that cost.

Personally, as there is a cost involved in moving the toons, I would wish that WG would provide an option to the F2P community. Want ya toon moved over ?

a) subscribe
b) there's a one time transfer cost associated with the move

I'd also drop the level cap to 100 which would allow the development of 27 trees to Level 100. Even an avid player could spend a year leveling all trees to 125 and that' can hardly be called a "trial period". In addition, racial spells should be something to entice the move from F2P to P2P. And finally, the 100 level cap would reduce, to some extent at least, the abuse by P2P players utilizing freebie accounts for heal and CP slaves.
