be prepared for things to get locked up, locked down and locked out. Thats the price that's paid when you convert to a "buisness model" |

There's gonna be alot of butthurt going on when things that were previously footloose and fancy free now show up with a price tag.
That's buisness. Thats to be expected. they will chop it up and sell it in little bitty pieces if it would generate that money honey. Might as well embrace this change because there is no going back now. That was part of that whole "in order to get good things" deal. You have to be prepared to make some sacrifices.
my advice: stay focused on the payoff. Keep sub'd and wait for the team to get enough money to work on bases.
Full steam ahead!
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
If not, then I refute your assertion that there's any difference between "gaming the system" and "pissing your potential subscriber base off." There's no daylight between the two. It comes down to whether the devs feel the restriction is reasonable, because all restrictions reasonable or otherwise will piss off someone somewhere.
Other than that, I would otherwise tend to agree that being able to pay base rent is a perfect candidate for a Paragon Rewards tier reward. Something not too severe: tier 3 or 4 perhaps.
Think of it more like "I'm staying sub'd because I want to see improvements made to the game...including bases"
