I see a lot of people throwing around that "if WoW goes free-to-play" quote as definite confirmation that Yoshida will never add a PLEX-like system to this game. However, I read it a little differently. The full quote is "If WOW ever goes completely free-to-play, maybe we will consider it." I think this actually means if WoW does something, we will consider doing it too. WoW has just announced a PLEX-like system. Consequently, I'm certain that Yoshida has already had multiple meetings with his team and with higher-ups considering a PLEX-style option for this game.
