Seems like alot of people want this game to become Free 2 Play. >.>

I feel like that's exactly what he was telling you, and if he wasn't I will.

Then with the greatest respect, you are an idiot and responsible for holding back talented game developers with your narrow-mindedness. Whether you agree or not, F2P is how it is going to be in the future for most new MMO's. If you refuse to see anything more than Pay to Win in a F2P title, then you are going to be losing out on some excellent games.

I'll be loosing out on what exactly? Games like Aion, Age of Conan, DDO, Gw2, and a fps mmo that doesn't even seem remotely interesting to me?

I'm a career FFXIV player, I have no interest in other games. I played FFXI for 7 years and I intend to play XIV even longer. Just because you have the opinion that you like free to play games, doesn't give you the right to call me an idiot. I would like to point something out to you, World of Warcraft, ever heard of it? That's right, the leader of the industry in MMO's isn't a free to play game, so all of these titles you're throwing out there to support your own opinion seem just like a desperate attempt at trying to win a loosing argument.

People who support the pay to play format aren't holding back anyone, that was an ignorant statement considering that the game's director himself stated in an interview that he didn't feel that free to play was the direction he wanted for FFXIV.

Please don't post anymore.

I see, so if FFXIV goes free to play you will be jumping ship? I think not, it sounds very hipster.

Haha this one made me laugh ^

There are a few reasons why WoW is Pay to Play and that's because of its age, its polish and the fact it allowed millions of people to play it with a massive variety of different systems when it first started. It really kick started just how serious MMO's could be for generating cash, it was the first to really make a stamp on the world. It doesn't need to adopt F2P because it generates enough to sustain itself 3 times over.

Are you seriously suggesting FFXIV is on par with that kind of subscription base? I hate to break it to you, they don't do a mass overhaul of successful games because they felt like it. If 2.0 fails to bring in the players, then it will have to be F2P or shut off. FFXI didn't have this trouble because it had way more subscribers.

I'm glad you're graceful enough to laugh when being proven wrong.
