Firstly, we all have the same right to post suggestions and ideas. The game is free yes, so people do N.O.T have to pay to play. I do not understand your "accurate analogy", Pirating software is totally different from playing a free-to-play game, because, pirating games is essentially illegal, whereas playing a free to play game is not.
It is irrelevant as to weather people have brought anything off PGI, and we all have the S.A.M.E right to ask for changes and suggest ideas that might fix or make the game better. We are all people, and you could have somebody who brought a founders package who could be a complete *******, then have person who has not paid anything yet who actually suggests good, constructive ideas.
I think we all have the right to post on the forums, and I very much doubt it will change.

"An accurate analogy is to pirate software, install it on your computer then write a lengthy email to the developers stating how you think all these changes should be made to the product which you haven't paid anything for in the first place."
-That's not accurate at all. In fact it's downright stupid and illogical. The program you're pirating wasn't free. They didn't let you use it for free, you just stole it. This game however is free; they let you install it and play it for free. Are you beginning to see how stupid that "accurate analogy" is?
By the way, you forgot to include a poll in your petition. I say this because I wanted to hit "No".

We Founders, while glorious, are not all knowing, all wise or perfect.
Free players (or anyone for that matter) can demand whatever they want, just as you can demand they all be silenced. The results are usually quite similar.

I've seen communities divided before. No need to validate that type of division by restrictions.

That's funny, not like any real troll would ever make several different accounts just to suspend someone indefinitely by abusing your idea.

You DON'T KNOW the power of the troll side!

Simply put. If you haven't paid anything to PGI for this outstanding product, you have absolutely Z.E.R.O right to demand changes and should not be allowed to post on these forums.

Of course, being broke, I haven't been able to pay any money for this game, so, according to you... I shouldn't be able to post.
According to your reasoning, the above post I have linked to here is "worthless."
It's amazingly easy to make a fool of oneself by not doing the basic footwork required to be able to make a valid statement.

you find just as many legendaries, and other founders to a lesser extent (though this has abated more recently. It got EXTREMELY bad during the uber LRM buff), acting like they own PGI because they bought some MC and a founder mech or 2 plus closed beta access. PGI has no obligation to turn this game into what you in particular want. you did not buy the right to tell them how to make this game. no one here has that right. so please stop acting like it. it is demeaning to us all.

I actually like this idea, hell I'd down vote my own threads such as this one if this option was available - As I know several others would too.
What most people have missed with this thread is I am NOT trolling, I get seriously annoyed at somebody who - And I'm not saying it's you who is reading this - wants to complain about something that either doesn't need fixing, isn't broken or they just don't like how it's been implemented so far into the game and yes I do see the irony as this thread is basically just that, but further to the point that person who is complaining does so with a lack of knowledge, who believes they can mess with somebody because they don't see eye to eye to that other person's post.

Like this guy, who assumes I know nothing about the technology of the BT universe and my posts are worthless because I haven't read up on my knowledge beforehand. Clearly he hasn't read up beforehand because this post isn't about the BT tech, it's about people who seem to think that the universe revolves around them and that everything they say is Gospel.
But what would I know, I'm just a troll according to people who don't understand.

You must be a huge fan of Citizens United passed by the Supreme court which allows unlimited campaign donation by corps to political funds.
Since I've spent at least 60$ does that mean I get to post more often than someone who spent 20$?
Maybe we should privatize schools and prisons as well? Oh wait that's already happening.
I can't wait for private police forces to roam the streets. I wonder how effective holding police accountable will be when Coca-Cola owns your cities police?
Super smart idea OP. You're the kind of future that will help us in the long run. >.>

Nor did I presume that your posts are worthless or post anything that could possibly mean such.

I don't think you're a troll. I simply think your OP was short sighted in not taking into account that there are other things to take into account when deciding the worth of someone's comments on these forums.

Actually i think he's referencing to his BT-tech thread to show you that he contributed by typing it. To show you that according to you, he shouldn't have been able to do that.

How exactly are they second class? And if one of them really never purchases anything, how exactly is he critically important?
Granted, the OP's first post is crazy, but i think this is the kind of whining that he was annoyed by.
