Disappointing that personal bases aren't even on the radar (and probably impossible from a tech standpoint according to the answer), and point cards will probably never happen, for whatever strange reason.

There's a very good reason you want to give free players access to SG membership: it gets them involved with the community, community involvement being key to retention, and retention is key to them becoming a paying customer. It benefits VIPs also as they have a larger pool of players to get SG members from. Really, it's a win-win-win situation for NCSoft, VIPs and free players to allow them SG membership.
