Yep, keep the same system we had in PS1 in PS2. It worked very well. If your guns got locked constantly your doing it wrong.

We keep FF. Griefers will soon be grief locked. They can make a new account to grief, but that will require ten hours of playing to unlock the ability to tk. Grief only goes down while playing, so they cannot make 50 characters and keep cycling through them.

Thats about as tight as I can make it without getting a credit card involved.

First post on the forums, although I've been lurking for a while now.

Perhaps new players should have to reach a teamwork score that is roughly equivalent to ten hours played before FF is enabled, forcing them to actively participate in game play. I can see a lot of would-be hackers opening up multiple accounts and idling through the ten hour threshold.

Great community by the way. Seeing the devs participate as they do gives me very high hopes for PS2. Cheers.

Agreed. For an example of this, see Battlefield 3's "Metro" map with FF on (no spam) and FF off (neverending nade/rocket spam and 0 tactics).

This!

And we need the PS1 RoE System back. But with harder restrictions/penalties for casual players.

If there is someone who just joins the game from time to time to ruin the Fun of others the RoE-system should hit him harder than an active player who accidentially hitted a few guys with a Grenade.

Perhaps SOE finds a way to implement something like this.

Just keep it as it was. More Game-Moderators this time around would be no mistake though.

"Hit" is an irregular verb.

Even with PS2 being F2P there won't be a significant TKing problem - Here's why. Once you get grief locked its effing boring. Even when PS1 had trial accounts TKing was not an issue that I saw; it was mainly just hacking. So in conclusion, mix a stiff drink and relax.
