Yes

Author Topic: Poll: Free TF2?  (Read 15161 times)

If you saved up enough money to buy something, and then it began being given away free, wouldn't you mind? I mean, even if you did have it longer, it still annoys you to think that some people are getting something you worked for free. It took a lot of effort to convince my parents to buy my an M rated game (yes my parents are that way). Now people can just click a link. No effort involved.

Let me make something clear:
There ARE INDEED premium accounts and free accounts. You guys don't have to flip out. Premium accounts are what we all have, and to get a premium account you have to pay money. Nothing is changing.

oh well

you can use that money to get something else then.

This is my point. Nobody can understand it though. Christ.

Actually scratch that, you won't be able to do that. http://teamfortress.com/freetoplay/faq.php

Well cool, that makes me Premium.

You have to realize the people arguing against you have also purchased this game.

Tf2 - anyone who bought before free to play gets premium accounts

premium accounts =  Q. How is a free account different than a premium account?
Premium accounts have a few extra features, including access to rare and cosmetic items through random item drops, the ability to store more items in your backpack, and more powerful trading and crafting abilities. Otherwise, the gameplay experience will be identical for both accounts.
Account comparison:
FreePremium
Backpack:50 slots300 slots (expandable up to 1000)
Items:StandardStandard, Rare and Cosmetic
Crafting:Limited blueprintsAll blueprints
Trading:Receive items onlyFull trading
Gifting:Can receive giftsCan give and receive gifts

freeloaders cant get hats, their backpack is tiny, and they cant trade.
buy buying the game you get more stuff, and people who already have bought it get a free hat.
shut the forget up you babies.

That's because they're indifferent to it. I feel very annoyed about it.

1 month of begging+paying full price+string of promises like "Don't show your brother"=my effort

Well that's too bad.

you have the game, so why should it matter to you anyways


Okay? They're plebians that didn't buy the game, it's their own fault for sucking. Us premiums can just ignore them and continue to dominate.

Something I'd like is a member's only server option. That would make things nicer.

Someone might make a mod for that

I'm okay with this.

This whole thing reminds me of Runescape. Members have a stuffton of advantages and newbies complain endlessly about them. It wasn't very fun when I was either a member or a free player. Games should be F2P only or P2P only forever.
