Yeah... Seriously, I spent 3 years in the official 1.0 forums, it was never anything like the beta forums. A subscription fee REALLY clears out the number of people willing to risk their accounts for a chuckle. You'd think they'd at least see how these forums go first... I could see maybe having restrictions until fees start, and lift the limit for all active accounts...but if they keep them in place even after I'm paying, I'll DEFINITELY go elsewhere. There's lots of XIV sites like ZAM etc. I'll go where ever it appears most of the community goes.
