F2P and 5.4

So are we going to get crushed by the new scaling enchants, or will F2P twinks still be viable vs. P2P? And also should subtlety rogues go assassination without elemental force? Predictions?
 
just stay away from bgs the first couple of weeks until it gets fixed atleast a little.
 
Hmmm ok I guess I will be playing 19's for the first couple weeks.
 
It's not like fully BiS p2ps with full 5.4 chants will be running around the gulch in groups of 10 in every game instantly when 5.4 hits... Just try it out and see, probably the decent f2ps will still stand a good chance against most 24s, and nothing's gonna change that much. P2Ps had the upper hand before, they have it now, they will have it in the future.

Hardly any of 24s even right now are even near bis, why'd they be in 5.4 when some of the best enchants cost thousands of gold? 24s generally don't do too well against somewhat coordinated groups anyways, they're not gonna suddenly absorb some magical gladiator r1 powers when patch changes and they get a few chants more to crutch on.
 
Has anyone heard if blizz has plans to extend F2P proffessions?
 
Why should they? Giving a bonus to those who aren't paying...

Well they changed the F2P from 2 weeks to unlimited, so I don't think it is that much of a stretch. I also wonder if F2P's will eventually get their own bracket?

You must haven't faced that many 24 premades. Besides heirlooms are account wide; they only need 1 set of enchants on them and can just mail them to their 24s for some temporary F2P ownage, and send them back when they're done.

Just wait till a rogue gets a mongoose proc on you. :)
 
Having a lvl 24 combat rogue with double crusader proc against me was already ugly enough...


Wishlist for f2p:
Postsystem, but only for own account
Professions up to 200
Gold-Limit up to 100g (just to buy more bag slots)

Well, that's the same type of imagination as Santa himself - it feels good to think it might be there but we all know, it's just not true.

Exactly my point. They have their looms, maybe some enchants, and they send em over to 24 to "pwn sum noobs :D", just like most of them are doing nowadays. A p2p 24 toon with levelling gear (boas, a few greens or dungeon blues) is on a totally different scale than a p2p 20-24 that is fully twinked out in every aspect. P2ps with looms and levelling gear that are bad are getting shat on right now, and will continue to be shat on in 5.4. Fully twinked out 24s with half a brain 1 or 2-shot people now, and will do so in the next patch. Thing is, how many 24s do you see with gear or half a brain? Not too many.

Half-assed p2p "twinks" aren't a problem and never will be.

I think it would be very naive to think that free to play restrictions will not be changed at all in the future.
