That's not quite right!
A Free Player can not following things ... (MM = My opinion)
1. can not allow anything or auctioned pack (MM => severe restriction)
2. has only 3 instead of 7 pocket squares
3. Maximum Coins 2500 platinum limited (MM => severe restriction)
4. can not be appointed guild leader
5. 4 soultrees (subclasses) unavailable (MM => severe restriction)
6. only 2 instead of 6 character slots
Of course, fast voices are raised ... "Then you buy but Rex in AH".
Rex is the player bought for real money Item that it can sell for in-game currency. With Rex almost all the above things can be unlocked. But to a F2P player must earn platinum, which could not be easily without the auction house sales opportunity only once enough.
Therefore Pay2Win (Rexverkäufer) or better Pay2Savemuchtime (gen. Store items / -Features).
Thus, one is more inclined to spend time fix 5 euros, is also not a lot of money to save yourself all the trouble and time farm.
Clear Trion wants to make money, but quite as F2P, as they claim it is now not.
I wanted you near only bring even know how the F2P model of Trion really looks like.
Decide must itself every :-)

Nevertheless, 3 stars, because this F2P model is still within reasonable limits, compared to other wannabe F2P MMOs.
