136153-free-members-cant-create-guilds-etc-what-do

== Content ==
			
About an hour ago I went to get some food with a friend of mine. We started talking and I told him that I started playing WildStar again because its gone F2P. He said "man now you're making me want to start up again too". So when we got to our apartment, he started installing it and he decided to look up if it became "pay-to-win". I told him that there aren't any items that can be bought with real money that would instantly give you an upper-hand. Mainly combat/pvp wise. Anyway, he noticed that free members can't create guilds, warparties, arena teams, can't create circles and your auction house and commodities exchange buy/sell bids/slots are very limited. He also just said to me, "I feel like when the XP will start to be noticeable.." (assuming he means as in it takes a while to lvl up or something) "..and like, that's when crafting starts to be a thing. For me at least. That's when you'd want to make those special groups, so you can level and do a bunch of cool stuff with your friends and whatnot."
 
Don't get me wrong now, this is expected and I don't care as much as he does. I do wish, however, that free members are at least given the opportunity to create a guild. I can see why its more of a sub. option, but some people just want to chill out and make a guild with their buddies and not have to pay to do so. Especially seeing as the game just went F2P.
 
Anyway, just sort of a rant about the only thing I don't like about this game becoming F2P. Fantastic game all around! Just wish us Free Members weren't so limited in certain aspects. That's just the business side I suppose. I appreciate all the work these people have put into the game, and I'm looking forward to discovering more of it!
 
(also, this doesn't mean I hate the game. I stated above that I don't care a lot about these certain things.)

			Cosmic Rewards System The second reward in the first tier unlocks Guilds, Circles, and Warparties. These are permanent unlocks to your account for a relatively tiny investment in the game. If you're bound and determined to pay no real money to the company for their great game, you can earn credit by getting enough ingame money to buy some CREDD, then redeem it, gaining the Cosmic points, as well as 2 months of Signature level service.It really isn't much to ask if they want you to show willing, invest a bit in the game, and at the same time protect their paying customers from RMT troublemakers trying to abuse the game's social features to harass people.

Come to Dominion. Your friends are more than welcome to join me and make yourselves at home. We're just social and leveling (well, when we can play!) and helping where we can.
 
I sympathize with your plight though, and the restrictions are mostly anti-spam-bot prevention.
 
That said, I think it's like a whole $5 of NCcoin worth of purchases to unlock that perk. I'm sure someone will come along with the stats on that. 
 
Anyway, welcome to the game and community. It really is worth the wait!

First off, like everyone else said, there are ways to get those options. so I won't get into that.
 
I'll just say that none of those were made to give payers an edge over f2p people. They were just done so you didn't get spammed with circle invites guild invites, etc. from "buygoldplz" or "1plat5dolla" as what normally happens in many games. Thats why they are offered as rewards you can get rid of with a tiny bit of effort, in the hopes that the spammers don't take that effort and the players do.

I never thought of that reasoning. In that case, I'm pretty glad. I will more than likely pour a few bucks into this game given the amount of time the incredible Carbine folks are spending to try and make this the best game it can be.

4000 NCoin = 2000 Cosmic points, so that would be $50 if you took the NCoin route. Getting an old boxed version of the game (best option!) or a game time card and a smaller amount of NCoin is far more cost efficient.

Thankfully the XP gain and whatnot wasnt nerfed for free players, paying players got a buff  instead, so you get the "normal" leveling experience, though they have made that better in general since launch.
 
As others have said social options is pretty low on the reward ladder and gives full access to all of that stuff, CREDD would be the easiest way if you dont want to spend money right this minute, farming up that much plat is rather easy (malgrave farming got me enough plat in a few days to buy 5 before F2P)

While you're correct if you're only talking about Buying the NCoin, and not spending them. Don't forget about spending...
 
Spending the 4000 NCoin you just bought gets you 8000 more Cosmic Points... so spending 1000 NCoin would get you the 2k points needed...
However, you still need to BUY the NCoin, which means if you buy the $10 pack of 800 NCoin, then spend those coins, you can get to 2020 CP, thereby unlocking the Guilds/Circles/Warparties.
 
Spending $50 would get you 12k Cosmic Points total, once you've spent the NCoins. This would get you all the way to the first reward of Tier 3. Not to mention, whatever it was that you spent all those NCoin on.
 
Also, the restriction is only on Creating/Inviting to the guilds, so as long as ONE of you is willing to spend that $10, or if you guys want to all pitch in, you can make your guild, then invite all the plebs who haven't spent money on the game.
