Not enough information to form an opinion, but my belief is that every tool you add that circumvents the game world is essentially saying that you're aware of the game's shortcomings.

I don't think it's accurate to refer to a game that has gone from subscription to F2P as "failed" anymore. That experiment is over and the results are in.
LOTRO is a perfect example.

I'd like to address the "raced to 50 and now complain that there is nothing to do" comments.

* In every MMO ever released a certain percentage of players have raced to cap. More pla…
It wouldn't surprise me at all if it ends up being multi-platform.

What surprises me is that no one has done it yet.
