Why do you even pay for the game if you dont have your level 80 yet? Better to explore the world first and then start deciding on your sub.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you did get access to 1 AA expertise per level even without the expansion (if not, still not too bad to buy expansion just for this), offline levels, sieges (if you can find one), full bank and inventory space, extra character slots if you want to try more classes without deleting, vet points, item shop discount, no gold limit.
To me that sounds like plenty of nice perks.
As far as i know, you keep earned offline levels, even if you go from premium to f2p. You just stopped earning new ones, just like veteran points.
So, if you mean "taking away", do you mean the offline levels are not awarded now until you are premium AND are having a lvl70 char? (like Roddam said, in my eyes a "taking away" of things, since you handle premium lowbie players worse than premiums who rush to 80)
Before it was enough to be premium to gather them up. You even could use them as f2p on chars of lvl30+. Or will you need now to be premium, be over lvl30 AND have another char of lvl70+ to use existing offline levels on a lvl30+ char? (which would not take away things, just change the rules of application)
