Not really. If the F2P brought in higher populations, higher profits, they can easily drum up cash shop and game content.That's just it. In order for them to afford a free to play model they will have to continually come up with stupid little content for people to buy. And that will slow down the process of making large expansions and additions to the story. Because nobody's going to pay for something that isn't new, that's why league of legends Releases a new champion every other week.
I don't know about you but I'm just hunky-dory paying $12 a month.
Lower profits equals lower demand for new content, whether it's a F2P or P2P model.




I really think that F2P is a topic that deserves (and has many times had) it's own topic. Please try to keep to light chatter in here, or ideas/requests for pictures, as that is what this thread is for. If you really wish to have an in depth discussion about something as serious and complex as the various payment models of various games (all of which have many facets, both good and bad), please discuss it in a thread that either already exists on this topic or create one of your own. We're in a big forum here, not everything has to be in this thread, and I'm still concerned that you seem to be making a distinct effort to pull the thread away from it's purpose of light hearted fun.


New Game: I will say a topic. The next poster must use that topic as part of a story from their FFXIV experience. For instance'
Hamlet: My most memorable Hamlet run was when I pulled all the mobs as a crafter and kited a whole wave while everyone else widdled down the forces. I called it "Being a dragon. rawr"

Not sure people are quite understanding the game aspect of it LOL Folks, you make a chain of topics ;PNew Game: I will say a topic. The next poster must use that topic as part of a story from their FFXIV experience. For instance'

Unlocking PLD: I heard you could solo all the level 30 job quests easily so I thought they were on par with the storyline quests. I went as a level 30 GLA to unlock its job and had me arse firmly handed to me by several level 30-35 foes if I recall correctly. Didn't know you could change classes inside the instance. Soon got my revenge as a THM though ^_^
