If Cryptic didn't want people to play for free, it wouldn't be called Free to Play. You're annoyed because you spent money you didn't need to. That's your issue, friend.
Attention Cryptic, Thanks for a great game that I don't have to pay for. I don't mind the queues, or the crashing, or the downtime, as I think it's a fair price to pay for playing for free. Legacy of Romulus looks brilliant.
