Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Im more about supporting the game I play. Its sad that way of thinking is going away.
This.
I like the game but a sub for beta? ROFL. Its launch, period.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
Absolutely not. Watch the videos, its parallel universe.

I use the no more wipes criteria to call a game launched as so many are taking cash in from inception in some cases.

7. Will you be allowing players to buy only 1 month of game time at Beta launch, or in the future? (vs. 3, 6 and 12 announced)
It is possible that we will offer this option at some point during Beta, or after launch, as a way to make the game even more accessible. We think that with a price of $6.99 (or €6.99) per month, however, a 3-month pack already offers a fairly low point of entry to discover what the game has to offer.
Does not matter what 1 month costs if you have to buy 3 or more to get to play does it?
As far as i can find you need to pay 60 for a pledge (lowest one i found) right now. After beta starts dunno. No where was it said other than above what was going on, for the real price you have to pay to start playing.
$6.99 a month does not seem to mean much right now...is it buy to play with a sub?

So is it open world PvP? Does that even apply? Or is it focused on destroying creations rather than other players? Or both?
Only gamers can stop this nonsense.
It's up to you to do your part and STOP PAYING TO PLAY UNFINISHED GAMES!
Alpha in this game will only set you back $120 That's a great deal compared to others!

How long has it been since F2P mmo models have hit the scene? Can anyone name any of those early games, and better yet, claim they are still playing them? I doubt it.
People that refuse to pay subs for mmos, for whatever reason, are also refusing to acknowledge the many years of 'proof in the numbers' statistics that the mmos that require subs are flat out better and retain their player bases for much longer.
WoW, FFXIV, EVE, GW2 (B2P but included because you pay for it), and I'll even include SWTOR because its F2P model might be the worst in the industry.....name me a F2P mmo that has a higher pop than any of these games that have a sub attached.
