The lockout is there, and it's going strain subs. They've already lost money on bad moves before with this title. You enjoy the game, but it locks you out of playing. Don't spend your money here. If you can only participate 2 hours worth of actual challenging content in the game every week, the games just not what Yoshi said it'd be. I'm not going to say everything is perfect in the game; But it is a new game with 3 year old character data that was ported over and several communities already capped out; regardless what new players think. I encourage all those complaining to, as has been said, stop blaming the player for deficiencies and to stop defending artificial limitations; because most of us enjoy the game and are sick of listening to you say lock outs are needed. You shouldn't be forced not play by any means. Thanks!
