So, even Wildstar is going f2p...

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

wildstar error was to make a mmorpg with the hardcore as target, they always did appeal to them, even one of the last trailer was about how hardcore the game was... they did make everything complicate to get and player had a hard time to get access to some part of the content.... leading them away.

I would disagree, their error was that they designed the game ONLY for the hardcore raiders. How many hardcore raiders do you think there are in WoW and FFXIV? In NA i would say 10% in JP i would say close to 20%.

If WoW and FFXIV were to ONLY make casual content they would prob lose about 20% of thier playerbase too. The reason these games are successful is they cater to BOTH playerbases. A wider net will always catch more fish.
