This is pretty much the last straw. There was the value nerf which made everything we owned nearly worthless unless you had been lucky enough to sell off your stuff before it happened. Then there is the total lack of communication with the player base. Quests that are pretty much impossible unless you buy cash shop items with real money. Crafting is a joke, unless you want to lose gold with every item. The chat filters are stupid beyond words.

So much for the original idea they were promoting of moving member jobs to the free side as new jobs were added for members!

Now they are limiting new "free" players to level 5 on everything. It is pretty clear they are only interested in making a fast buck on "rich kids" that will buy tons of stuff in the cash shop and then move on to some other game after awhile. While I don't mind spending money on games (in fact I was a FR member for several months and have bought cash shop outfits, pets and a racing car), the prices are crazy. Much cheaper to just subscribe to a regular MMO.

They really had a fun little casual game. Now it is a grindy money grab, with really annoying timed quests that need cash shop purchases. I'll still stop in each day, even though it looks like all my friends have already left, but I won't be spending any more money on FR. Sony = Greed. Shame.
