Freedom and PvP IOs

What's the current thinking by you market gurus of the affect on PvP IO's with the launch of Freedom?

Is PvP access restricted in any way for Free or Premium users, or is it only limited access to the market and Inventions that will be affected?

The reason I ask, is that it seems as though PvP IO prices have been falling. Are people dumping these on the market in anticipation of decreased demand?


We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

There's really no way to test if premium or f2p will drop PvP recipes atm and there's no dev. post that I've seen that says PvP recipes will or won't drop from premium or or f2p players.

Also, most PvP IO prices have been dropping for awhile. Alot of people are farming these things. Just go to Warburg and look around

Look, but please don't touch or tap the glass. Community service in progress.

We already know that if you are a non-VIP who has neither unlocked Inventions nor purchased a License for them, that recipes will not drop. Since the PvP IOs are some of the most sought after in the game, it would be illogical to assume they said, "Okay. We aren't gonna let you have any salvage or any recipes except these recipes right here which are currently the most desirable."

Right, but does this mean that the non-vip, non-license toon can't generate them by being killed by a VIP or Licensed toon?

IE: Freebie player is the fodder for the paying player?

Seems like, if non-paying/VIP can't even generate drops (let alone receive) then drops may go down on average unless the number of paying/VIP players goes up. Will Freedom pull in enough paying/VIP to offset the current folks that may go non-pay/VIP in that case?
