    i hope they will never do that. Because when MMO switches from p2p to f2p it's a sign that the game loses playerbase.

    Could just go b2p like ESO, that game is in a good place since switching. (Which is what I think he was asking about)

    Disclaimer: I usually still end up paying for the "optional" sub in f2p or b2p mmo's anyway.

    Except games like LoTRO, Rift and ESO demonstrate that the game fundamentally changes character when it goes F2P/B2P and in those three games at least, for the worse, either due to a change in the types of people that play 'free' games or more insidiously the game's designers begin to make content designed at its core to 'drive' Store sales.

Not to mention the cash shop is entirely cosmetic except for a few negligible ease-of-life things. It's much better than it was at it's launch, in my opinion.

    That doesn't mean that I am personally for FFXIV to go b2p, I'll pay the sub if I enjoy the game, and I won't go around petitioning for it to go b2p either. Just saying it isn't necessarily always the end of the world if it did.
