It is true, it's a hard line. But don't forget, there are many people who are playing, and may not re-sub after their first month, that may hate the game, the quests, the structure, the changes, or lack of. And often times the biggest trolls are first month players who didn't get the game they expected. In that case, I don't know what would help aside from a rating/flagging system on those posters. Either way, I'm totally fine with being locked out of the forums. But I'm also happy to be able to participate in them. Example, to get thoughts on mounts, getting opinions from more people is nice rather than less. So as has also stated, a general forums section would be appreciated that might have an open format. Or some kind of blocking system for people that are not abiding by forum policies. Either way, I'm looking forward to the console launch and subbing at that point, and greatly enjoyed the PC beta as well as watching the game while other play (or complain) at this point.
