With Eve gone, only sub based MMOs left are FFXIV and WoW

[Silvarion]

Subs will be always better than micro-transactions.

With subs, companies know how much income they'll get, so they can plan forward updates (or expansions).

With micro-transactions it's hard (or impossible) to know when the income will be high or low, therefore it's hard to update a game with an irregular economy, ending up with a contentless game. That's why some F2P games are just boring, low quality and contentless.

But it's been proven time and time again, data says otherwise.



I'm not saying that FFXIV should go F2P, just trying to clear the misconception. From what I've seen, P2P community is always better than F2P ones. I wouldn't want to see FF games to be 'tainted' by the new toxic community.
