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.
Well, League of Legends is not a MMORPG and can't be compared, since it's a different market. You should compare it with a different MMORPG, and then compare how often they update their game and compare the content/quality of it.

Yoshi-P already stated once that a p2p game is better because they can plan future updates, since they know how much they'll earn.

With F2P models you just don't know what your income will be, so you end up not planing anything, or plan something small just in case nobody buys anything.


Usually MMORPGs goes F2P because investors wants their money back ASAP, and F2P offers a fast initial income, but after that it always goes down til the game just dies.
