Just been thinking about this, doesn't it make sense?
I'd imagine the amount of gold subscribers is pretty low these days given that there's pretty much no incentive to subbing any more. Cryptic/PWE might be reluctant about increasing the dilithium refinement cap because it'll hurt their profit, so why not make it sub only?
That way the exclusively F2P players can refine 8k/day
Those who pay $20/month (or w/e it is) can refine an unlimited amount.
Personally I would say lifers should be somewhere in the middle - I know that will probably cause some backlash around here, but they act all high and mighty but lets be honest, plenty of them have invested less money in this game than a large chunk of silver/gold members.
Thoughts?
