Question for you.
If you are leasing a car and stop making your payments, do you get to keep it?
If you are renting an apartment and stop paying your rent, do you get to keep living there?
You did not BUY those characters....you were renting them. You have not in any way paid in full for those characters by having maintained a subscription in the past.
If you stop making your car payment or paying your rent, the dealership or landlord damn well will take your car back or kick you out. What Paragon Studios has done here is the equivalent of a landlord letting you stay in your apartment for free....but shutting off the cable and air conditioning. And he offered you a deal that lets you have those things on a conditional basis for a fee that was less than your rent used to be.
If you create a baby its yours you have ownership over it, but don't actually have ownership. You did not buy your baby, you created it. You raised it, nurtured it, and provided for it. Do you consider a child when its all grown up... that you have raised, nurtured, and provided for paid in full? Some of us may "I paid my dues" "Now get your own place!" I remember hearing that when I was of age.... When its grown, it's still your child however. -

I think this is what it all boils down to. If limiting IOs (and the market, let's not forget that part of it) is making Paragon Studios plenty of money, then they really shouldn't change it . . . especially if it causing the sale of those other items you mention to be continuous.
The question is would allowing full access to IOs hurt the sale of those items and would it cause numerous players to simply drop a full sub for good.
Those are questions only NCSoft/Paragon Studios can answer. -
I totally agree with these feelings the op has felt returning.
Indeed we may be asking for a feature of the game to be free, but honestly it should be free. It's totally free after you have gained enough tokens. There should be a way for it to be obtained free (with some in game work, and if your premium, or used a retail code, something) by reward merits. Perhaps a 15 or 7-day license item would be best. Requiring you to earn it. That way its not as free as some ppl think it is. Just work out the reward merit pricing. So we have to Run Run Run Run those TF's.
I do think there is a lack of items to get with reward merits, and that system should be looked at. Especially for free player mass. I do feel that more people would then ViP after finding out how crazy powerful and fun IO build are to play and make. Its just about as fun as playing the character creator.
