After leveling up a few characters to around level 10 in F2P, and testing out some various things - the biggest limitation in my experience has been that my characters cannot contribute their "group only" spells to any groups they join.
- Bards cannot contribute Spellsongs to their group
- Clerics cannot contribute 307, 310 and I assume anything else to their group
- Monks cannot contribute their Focus spells to their group
I'm sure there are many more limitations, but I haven't tested it out.
Now, I understand that creating these characters and allowing them to be fully able to contribute their group spells is purposefully limited -- HOWEVER -- $.10 for 15 minutes of group spells seems extremely stupid (sorry - it is stupid) since these spells do not continue to work after the character has left the party.
Please create a Simucoin token for "30-Days of Group Only" spells. Anything that you can cast, which empowers the group while you are a member, should be accessible to F2P at a smaller fee for a longer period of time.
At this time, grouping with F2P brings little value to the party. It seems like improving social components of F2P accounts would benefit everyone.
