I think the idea has goods and bads. Really don't see where there would really be any change at all in anything but not letting higher level characters on certain servers. In truth, I think people being hand held through all these starting levels leaves just more the questions for us all later when they have never learned anything them self. I don't feel it a great thing these guys trying to sink a level 1 sloop, and competing to get credit with 40 level characters trying to boost their rank.
A reason we always wanted people in the guild to be able to reach our guild site, was for the opposing problem to this. A place for people to get a break down on what skills do what, and ideas of what to take and not take, and why. This though becoming the huge 3 day pass problem for trying to help anyone in this way giving out a web site.
This alone being said is enough to know this will never have a chance. Disney has been trying do anything they can to make less solo type play, and a group gathering type game play.
In anyway you want to put it though, I am not going to fall for a unrealistic excuse to oppose this idea. With 250 members in our guild, I can do the math, of the maybe three now still left. Even at 5 left that would leave 50 to 1, a heck of a lot higher ratio than 9 basic to 1 payed.
This is unrealistic to believe 90% of the players are basic and would cause lagged out servers. To worry about this, one needs the active player break down to even worry about this at all. This game I play on all different servers, I find more payed players than basic everywhere I go. Knowing who is active and who has left has always been a problem. Guild masters should have this information so they can tell who may have to go, to make room for those that are active. Let alone issues like this here where, people are using these numbers of basic accounts that have left the game. To argue they should have more say, I think they should have less, they left and are gone, and don't care.
Anyone having troubles figuring this out, leave and watch your account become basic and a crowd of 90%. If there is question about how Disney came up with these stats, I guess there is no argument then that these have any effect on game play or possible lag issues. No, then everyone that left becomes basic, and all these are added together, and all payed are added together equals 90% to 10%.
That is the point of knowing if this would have a effect or not. We would need a active player input over several weeks to have any idea the ratio of players, amount this would effect, and crowding/not crowding servers.
