YoshiP stated that MMOs are trending toward F2P

[Colorful]

The day this game goes free to play is the day I quit... well I could quit before that for other reasons, but I think you get my point.

The free to play model is absolute trash, not only do they lock things behind a paywall but they also have a sub model that you have to pay for (along with cash shop if you want cool cosmetics...). SWTOR for example, either you sub or pay for the tickets to un-restrict your access to content. ArcheAge too, where the selling point of the game is locked behind a sub fee, along with countless cosmetics, XP bonus items, P2W crap, etc.

I never understood the people who say they prefer F2P games and then end up spending more than they ever would on a P2P game on cosmetics or restricted content.
