This is basing a plan around a horde of uncontrollable morons.... You can pretty easily walk around the random charging people.

Depends on the mass. We just do not know yet, therefor we all can only assume.

And assuming that F2P players = morons is wrong too... Perhaps some of them are morons as they have no idea dafuq is going on, on the other hand they could be PS2 veterans which just do not feel like paying cuz they didn't pay in PS2 either and start kicking some real butt.

We just do not know yet. But honestly I assume the F2P player will be a degree more retarded than the casual player, and .... "walk around the random charging people" is not the point.

The point is they still could be plenty enough running in one direction together so that the other faction has to fend them off for smaller outposts or just could be a sting in the side which will require troops to be deployed to get rid of them.

I'm assuming SOME f2p players are morons. Equally some won't be and some will come out of it as they learn.

This is where we say.

Gameplay balance and lore bending.

You can make them act stupid but you cant expect them to be stupid, one has to just outsmart them.

I am sure we all have our ideas of how things should go and what we would like to see as far as special quests or events that would tie into epic battles and things we all know and love. Realistically there has to be some changes being it is not just trying to appease us but draw in the not so fanboy esque crowd that those of us on here clearly are. Yes I would love it to follow the lore. Being personally have loved a lot of the books and the total emersion of a world that has been so well established thru the years. If you build it they will come. Make a great game with at least most of the things we love and it will become the battlefield of dreams.

why do so many believe F2P players are automatically stupid some people simply cant afford to buy a game without knowing how it will play

Being a F2P player may have fuck all to do with their money situation, too. I was a F2P player on WoW before I ever dropped a single cent in to it, and that was to test the game without paying, not because I couldn't afford to pay, for instance.

Its usually only stupid people that think that F2P players are stupid.... See what I did there

Unfortunately its a stigma/stereotype that F2P players are stuck with and are gonna be stuck with for the foreseeable future.

I consider myself a purist, but voted to keep it as close as possible.

We know they have to change things for the sake of balance, and that different races may team up.

Other than things like that I would like to keep deviations to an ABSOLUTE minimum.

Meh keep as true as possible. No standing alliances all seperate factions. Only have most main list armies. The warhammer universe is so expansive that we don't really have to have ghazghkull thraka leading these orks and so on. However I really don't want new factions being tied to another when they are released as a permanent ally seeing as how ig and space marines sometimes get into it with each other. Well more like sm just smash ig out of the area
