Subs with Non-Subs Why cant subs cant be partied with non-subs? I just cant understand why..

Perhaps it's to sort-of urge non-subscribers to play together more (same for p2p). Or perhaps it's to add another 'p2p feature', to make non-subscribers more likely to subscribe. Or maybe it really was something that didn't have too much thought into it?

I personally find it a bit silly. I can't see what harm it could cause for f2p and p2p to party together. There must be something negative Ankama see that I don't (or not).

I find it very silly. I've got friends to whom I'd like to show the game, but I have to go through some creative means just to be able to fight normal monsters with them, and I can't play through the most interesting part of the trial - the dungeons - at all.
I can understand, and agree to with letting trial accounts trade or affect anything outside of Astrub - thost are means of protection against mass-accounts and bots. But partying? I don't get this one at all.

I hope developer read this... or at least reply with reasonable reason

Not only it's silly but it makes the life of subbed people more difficult too. When i start a new character and want to do the Astrub dungeons, it takes quite along time sometimes to get a party since there are naturally more unsubbed people around.

Please remove the feature!

Subs should be able to make parties that F2P can join, and F2P-made parties have restrictions (only 2-3 players, exp penalty, or something) instead. Then there's an actual benefit to having a Sub around to make parties.

No. Trial accounts are prospective subscribers, not someone to be penalised. They are already limited by only having access to the earliest area of the game. Adding any artificial penalty to them is counter-productive to the goal of getting them interested in playing the game beyond these locations and therefore subscribing.
