So, even Wildstar is going f2p...

No no, I know. It is so that we can continue getting monthly content updates like the GW2 subscription funds. Oh wait....

hrmn.... Well, at least with a monthly subscription we will get content without having to purchase it on top of that. Er....

Trying to compare FFXIV's content patches to the pitiful additions GW2 gets is laughable. Until last year the only persistent new content GW2 had received was the Fractals dungeon (which was actually just delayed content that didn't make launch) and the karka island that has no content at all on it and no one ever bothers to visit... It took them three years to announce an expansion pack with the seasonal story leading into that expansion being the first new content the game had received in well over a year.

GW2's content patches typically amount to nothing more than a redesign of a previous system. In fact ArenaNet has now redesigned the traits system twice! Not only do they not have the money to fund proper content development but they waste what little they have on revamping old systems instead of making desperately needed new ones.

When you pay a subscription you typically get much higher quality content with a much faster release cycle. If anything comparing FFXIV to GW2 proves this point to be true so trying to use GW2 as an argument to disprove it is actually hilarious.
