Definitely P2P but I have also spent money on SoE cards to play those games free while unlocking specifics.
In a perfect world we would cross reference this poll with how long each person played a game between F2P and P2P. Of course people would rather pay nothing, or less than across the fence, but how much did it mean? ATM I'm paying a sub though I have the store credits to play multiple F2P games.
I don't think P2P is going anywhere even if it's combined with a cash shop for F2P players (SoE). You're already seeing survival tactics by recent F2P conversions such as Aion. Nothing in the MMO sphere worth value is truly F2P and I think more changes will be made to F2P titles to balance the gap between free and operable.
I haven't spent a penny on an MMO in years, but if I were going to spend any, it would be on subscriptions. I will not ever spend a penny in a cash shop in any MMO, period. I don't care if it's F2P or P2P or B2P, I would never do it under any circumstances.
