Suggestion: make this forum for active accounts only

[Auron_Wolf]

The old FFXIV forums have this configuration, you should bring it back, I mean if you are no longer playing, why any one want those people posting here? Probably the forums are going to have less traffic but the community will be better...

i dont think you can even log in to post without having an active account....

[astrobearthe2nd]

nope you dont need an active account o post, i should as my alt (this account) dont have an active sub on it.

also sign

is that an alt character thats not active (on the same account) or a totally separate one?

a totally separate one. SE forum banned my main account.

Why I like this game and right now I'm not able to play, I even have 2 60 day time cards ready. Why should I not be able to post or read the forums
because my account isn't active? The only people I see complaining is usually active players anyway.

actually, it IS the inactive players (i cant name names, but the usual suspects then to surround the "[x] reason why this game sucks"

I'm pretty sure you can't post unless your service account is still active.

I stand corrected, I thought you had to have an active account to post. Huh.

Some of us still have active accounts because we signed up for a longer subscription period before we realized that the game is going in a direction we're not interested in.

Locking the forums from non-player view would block out people interested in the game that either had questions or wanted to see the state of the community/game from player viewpoints. Blocking posting would disallowed interested parties asking questions of a legitimate concern to them.

Not sure that would be a wise business practice honestly.

I guess thats fine. You are already limited to the # of posts you can make based on your level in the game, so why not lock out those w/o an active sub?

They can still view all the threads/posts. There are also other forums/sites to go to.
