No one is telling anyone what he has to play, this just happens inside your head.
Its a fact that inside a bg as of wod 19>10 and ofc more skills>fewer skills but hey slayers band is cool isnt it?
you wont play xp-lock bgs on a f2p 19
even if, you wouldnt enjoy them
you cant buy loom helmet with honor
if you want to play on a starter edition f2p is your only choice
