F2P Players and Trading

(Not sure where to ask this, and nothing came up on search)

Hey all, I obviously know why free to play accounts can't trade (gold farmers), but I really wish we could give them inspirations.

I'm not a healer, but if I see someone dieing while fighting in the streets I'll run up to them and throw them a green.
But more often then not now a days you get the "this player can't trade" and you look dumb for running up to them just to run away again.

Am I the only one running into this? I bet it's kinda a pain if you want to toss them a res while on your team, but I haven't ran into this yet.

I dunno, I'm guessing the systems are all tied together so if you were to allow insp trading you would have to allow everything.

Just kinda sucks for people having legitimate reasons to trade.

I sorta concur.

I think trading should still be disallowed. But I think we should be able to drag-and-drop inspirations to F2P players. In other words, a way to give them inspirations that doesn't open the trade window.

I've had a few instances where I was playing a character that didn't have an ally heal power and had to say "Sorry, I can't help you."

My understanding is that the devs COULD enable drag-and-drop gifting for F2Ps, but if they did, it would enable ALL gifting, not just inspirations, and they don't want to enable that. Most likely, this to limit the use of F2P accounts as mules for RMT jerks s even though they wouldn't be able to mule cash, they could still mule valueables like purple recipes/enhancements if this were enabled.

I just want there to be more incentive for the f2p player to subscribe.

Withhold badges or something more significant. It's trite, but I'm tier 9 and the only reason I subscribe is the incarnate goodies. But, most f2pers don't miss what they don't know. They've very little incentive to buy the cow with all the free milk being given away.
