F2P is garbage for MMORPGs. It's a good model for other genres where it can be done without P2W, like in MOBAs.
In an MMORPG everybody should be paying the same - to have the same potential to EARN rewards. It's just not possible to do F2P for MMORPGs without some element of P2W.
Gaining rewards by playing is a lot more satisfying than getting reward by throwing some cash at a cash shop.
This game does have some P2W though - buy the digital or other CEs - these days that get gets you some cool in-game loot (whereas in the past CE's were more about external perks).
Premium MMORPGs do not feature built-in cheating via cash for gold pay 2 win. PLAY to win or don't play.
At the minimum each server should be well patrolled for gold spammers if it's a P2P.
you would think so but that's not necessarily true. I remember when Aion came out, the gold spamming was the worst I had ever seen anywhere, and that was a P2P game.
lol, that's funny because i started playing Aion a couple months ago for the first time, i passed on it when it came out and wow the gold spamming is extremely bad, it literally rolls the chat non stop but figured it's F2P problem. Guess not.

Don't be sheep-minded. Stop dealing with extremes. There is not only F2P and P2P in the world. And frankly not all F2P games are the same and some of them like Tera (from what i've heard) has the best F2P options ever. Then you have the B2P plan, like gw2, in which everybody is an equal, you do not pay premium to go somewhere or achieve something. You buy the damn box and THAT IS IT. You just sit back and enjoy the show. Sure you can boost your exp big deal, Whoever kills trains of mobs to gain levels in Gw2 and ignoring the other possibilities is an idiot anyway xD
So pretty much, considfering the shit FFXIV players have been put through for the past few weeks, I daresay P2P is a bloody scam that show be gone. Plain and simple. Buy to play is the future, where you can go and pay the development cost for you (that's usually a pricetag of 60$) and OWN the damn game. You OWN that shit, you do whatever you want with it. Just like you would with Battlefield 3/4 or w/e version they got in Call of Duty nowadays.
How would you feel if your microwave charged you extra 15$ each month? Even though you payed for it and you OWN it.
I can only justify P2P if there is NO box price, like EVE. And even then its VERY questonable, given the amount of content we get out of Gw2 for 0 cents
P.S: And damn there are so many achievements still left for me to do in Gw2 ._. 1 year in ... playing every single day. It just blows my mind
I like ff14!but enough to warrant a 15$ monthly?right now.yes because of the free month!tsw is happy I paid them there is no cost .but frankly tsw feel better !bang for $ wise same for gw2.why would I sub one game when I can play gw2 and tsw at no extra cost .till they feel time is right for a big paid update!but then ,ff14 is so uber that everybody might keep sub.if any can make this happen its a ff frannchise
