I believe subscription = better development funding in consistent manner. Rather have a fluctuating development time and money issues in more Free2Play MMOs.

There is no progression on the game content development (in depth) GW2 has bi-weekly update but those contents only lasted 1 day. That is almost nothing. I get bored after I finished every new content under 1 day.

Well, that is fine as long as it is only subscription. Then you know what you are paying for... but when you have a cash shop and players have no idea what is going into the cash shop vs sub content, it makes the point of a subscription (a fixed known cost for content) completely pointless.

I am wondering how many games had this hybrid model and have lasted very long.....

This. It's content produced with our money now taken away feom us and re-sold to us shamelessly.

Did you really forget your post on page 62 already where you called myself and two others akin to CoD players who buy four new maps for $15? Y'know, instead of continuously assuming and trying to insult others for reasonably supporting the Dev. Team, why don't you go get a decent argument to stand on instead of, "I don't trust them, they're lying, lalala."

@Seif That is one of the biggest and most flawed arguments ever. Just because the Cash Shop might get one or two items, doesn't mean they would have been in game otherwise. That is an assumption of potential content, not content that was specifically taken away. Yet again, vanity. Stop being so trivial.

Wouldn't surprise me to see that down the road. I really don't think they'll try that anytime soon, however.

Why? It's just Vanity after all. Nbd guys, nbd :)

Everything what is worth playing for is "vanity".

Well, at least we know how they are going to handle bots.... just cut out the middle men and sell things directly.

Very dissapointed to see this.
A game should be either cash-shop OR subs NOT both. Makes you wonder why you bother playing hard for something that just looks cool (as is most of the content right now) when you could just buy something else that looks cool.
I'm only going over the same wounds that other players feel so my posts probably redundant ._.

What if these items in cashshop:

Mounts - This definitely kill progression to hunt and raid RNG. Since you can just get the item with real money.
Dyes - This might be okay... maybe dye packs random colors?
Transfer Service - reasonable...
Fantasia Service - okay
Minions / pets - I don't mind but not sure about the other's opinion who is a minion collector.
Glamour / Skins - NO... this will just kill off some farming gear drops. I am never a fan of buyable skin from cashshop, this will render dungeon run pointless when you are decked out. (I have not been in raid or anything since I have just started playing 1 month ago but I've heard people said certain gears look drops from certain bosses.) If this is not the case well this prove that will hinder the activities in MMO. Everyone will be lazy spending money rather than doing runs.
