Yeah, there's concern about trolling, but I think we could weed out the bitter posts for a week, and I personally think what we gain is well worth the risk.
I'd rather not. If you're not paying for it, you have no voice. Its like democracy. Non-citizens don't get to vote on shit, and there's a reason for that. Non-shareholders don't get an opinion on company matters, and there's a reason for that. Hearing opinions is great, and feedback is always good, but giving them a legitimate voice is a bit much. I agree they should have limited forum access to one area designated precisely for them. I don't want ppl with no vested interest in the game (read: aint paying shit) to try and dictate its direction. As they say, put up or shut up...in this case we're talking about money.
