You can't run trials without joining the LFG queue.

I think you mean a server wide channel. The problem with doing that with a global channel is that

1. Global channels cover all servers/factions and F2P/Prem players will get frustrated that they can't team with many of the people on it because they only have access to specific servers/factions due to their limited character slots.

2. Global channels have a limited membership.

What you don't seem to grasp is that nearly all of the player base prefers using closed teams and forming up before entering the queue.

Your ideas won't change anything unless the ability to form closed teams is removed from the LFG feature.

Good penmenship and personal hygene?

I'll admit she wasn't unattractive but she wasn't attractive enough to carry the role solely on her physical appearance.

And the devs have made it crystal clear that the motivation behind chat restrictions is to prevent spam by RMTr's and other unsavory's.


RMTr's and other unsavory's may very well be willing to spend $5 bucks on the game if they could get access to global channels. They aren't willing to do it for the price of 5 reward tokens. Whereas legitimate players will aquire 5 token in no time.

As far as the devs are concerned, yes it is.

That's too bad because the devs have told us otherwise.


You can argue with us until you are blue in the face, but the devs have already decided this issue, told us the reasons why. The best response you can hope to get from a dev on this is the standard "we'll pass it along" to mollify you and then they'll forget about it because it goes against their policy to protect their legitimate customers.

You aren't the first person to suggest the devs change the restrictions on F2P accounts. People have been arguing for change before Freedom ever launched.

I started doing that about a month after they added the /help channel.

You're right about that. Tegan was




While Donna was more of

And so does the design the devs decided to implement.

Do you think the devs weren't aware that that would happen? The devs didn't pick that channel at random. When Freedom launched lots of things changed in the game. What the /help channel gets used for was one of them.

Hey maybe we'll get lucky and the Doctor will regen as a female, then we'll get a run of some male companions instead of easy Earth girls.

Maybe a return of beloved K-9

I think A_A wants the discount in addition to the stipend.

And you shouldn't try to speak for the people that play this game.

It was the Players that demanded the ability to form closed teams/leagues be added to the LFG system. It was not originally included in the LFG design.

If the devs were to decide to remove our ability to form closed teams/leagues, players will just go back to recruiting people for trials in places like Pocket D and RWZ, or Atlas Park, before forming complete teams and joining the queue.

End result, you still won't be able to join their teams from the queue.


The problem isn't with the tool, nor is it with the players. The problem is assuming that our player base doesn't want control over who they team with.

We will control who we team with.

The current set up discourages the people/companies that would abuse the global channel feature by placing it behind a monetary gate that is just high enough to turn them away while still being affordable for legitimate players.

Didn't know the customer in question just happened to be up at the check out when it happened.

And that wasn't the first time I've seen that happen, just the most recent, and loudest.

While I'm inclined to agree with you, the third movie they didn't make had a gorram awesome song.

Respectfully, that won't stop the willfully ignorant. You wouldn't believe some of the stories that I and others could tell you about people that refuse to read/ignore warnings and then blame the company/store for their stupidity.

I recall working CS for a major food company when a woman called up outraged that her son had an allergic reaction to a product she bought him. He had a peanut allergy and not only didn't his mother bother reading the ingredients, she blithely ignored the fact that the product had the word Peanut in the name. Nope it was the companies fault her son had to go to the hospital and she demanded the company pay for the medical bills.

The people that are willing to admit that they [pancaked] up are in the minority, or they are like Warkupo and don't bother CS at all.

Both excellent books. Personally I'm also fond of John Ringo's Posleen Wars:

A Hymn Before Battle
Gust Front
When the Devil Dances
Hell's Faire

There may have been but it doesn't invalidate the fact that anyone who has read the manual, or even just made a character and played the game knows that there is no such thing as respeccing out of an existing power set or archetype. They also know that this game has never had universal power sets that could be used by any archetype.

And anyone that complains that they are ignorant of the game mechanics has no one to blame but themselves because the information is freely available to everyone.

Honest mistakes happen, but willful ignorance is not an excuse.
