Free Accounts Restrictions and Suggestion

well since it seems that the use of the auction for free accounts seems to be exploitable with the normal auction functions, why not just have the free accounts have to pay and sell at the store cost. or at determined %'s.

paying member is auctioning an item for 50% of the store cost, free member has to pay 100% store price, and if a free member wants to sell it in the auction they can only sell it for up to 50% what a store would buy it for. This would allow the free members access to better weapons (at store Price) a little sooner, and allow then to make a Limited amount of money (hopefully to purchase TC's?).

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but i do not see this hurting the game economy due to exploitation of the auctions, but may get more free players to spend some cash once they are tired of having to pay full price for everything, in turn helping the game economy and the developers at the same time.

Well I dunno guys. I'm on the side of....we ought to be paying for this game to begin with. I mean it's 5 bucks, that's not really a heap of money. 20 bucks is pretty cheap too. I mean I paid 50 for Oblivion, and will pay another 50 for Diablo 3. There are a lot of people who sunk a lot of time and effort into this and I for one think they should get rewarded for it.
The way I see it, the only reason to even have free players is to give them a taste of the game and convince them it's worth paying for.

Besides isn't there a mini loophole around paying for the game anyway? If I understand this correctly, (and please correct me if I'm wrong) free players can buy TCs from the AH. If that's the case, then diligence and hard work will yield a TC that they can use for account status or to buy virtues with. Problem solved?

i believe someone should do something, anything to allow free players to auction at least *some* of the time. other wise, as before stated, all you can do is level. it makes it pointless to craft at all. there is no point if you dont make any profit off of it.

Free players and profit do not go well together in a sentence. It's an easy fix PAY $5.
