    Why? It's a forum. They didn't moderate the ones pre-announcement, why would they now?

    Because its going to be far more ugly then what youve seen before. Ive been in my fair share of MMO transitions. Its coming. And it will only get worse the closer to the transition we get.

    I'm sure the decision to go F2P was made by the company that owns ZOS, Zenimax Media Inc.
    We'll never know for sure, though.
    I'm a man of few words. Any questions?

    This forum is meek compared to other games.

    Youve obviously never played a F2P game. The model means more income for the company. They wouldnt be going this route if they were making the amount they needed to sustain a P2P model. But you keep on believing that somehow F2P/B2P means scrapping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to income.

    Games make more F2P with cash shops than with subs.

    Throwing blame around is often inflammatory, and we encourage people to report posts for breaking the rules. (Additionally, after reporting something we ask that people not then reply to it, as this just extends the problematic discussion.)

    We're also beginning to consolidate discussion of today's announcement, and cut down on duplicate threads. However providing people remain civil and constructive, it's acceptable to express your opinions, positive or negative.

    We're going to go ahead an lock this discussion. We appreciate your concern, but a thread about moderation problems is just going to attract problems of its own, and tends to result in people complaining about complaining, which isn't productive.
