Implementing both F2P/Sub is also an option

[Alish]

I really don't like where the F2P model takes most games and I've been through a lot of MMOs transitioning to the F2P environment (Aion, Swtor, Tera etc).

One thing I've noticed for sure is it has always felt like content in F2P environments comes at a much slower pace and more resources are directed at cash-shop items like cosmetic items or boost. Ultimately devs behind F2P mmos do what ever they can to squeeze every dollar out of the player base by employing the "convenience for a price" design.

It really really REALLY sucks when basic features are torn out of F2P games one by one, sold separately one piece at a time, and then having them all bundled into one package and then sold as "good value" purchases for players wanting to get features that should be there in the first place regardless of F2P or sub.

For me it was actually a huge sigh of relief dealing with FFXIV so far because I know every 3 months there will be substantial updates and overall I feel like I get way more value out of my $15/m than any F2P MMOs I've played by a long shot.

I'm sure I could write a bunch more on this but I think a huge rant would follow suit. I am done with F2P games is what I am saying.
