    I completely understand the need for money in a business. However, this game is far from out of beta. There is no end game content worth doing aside from Ifrit. Even then you kill him several times and you're probably done getting all the loot you need. They plan on releasing what, 1 more end game fight between now and p2p? That's not acceptable.

    They will lose their high end crowd and kill the game for 50's. Will those people come back? Sure. But not until a year later when this game finally is worth playing. So what happens until then? You lose player base, current player base quits at the end game from boredom also. It's just bad for your community in game which is already severely lacking. P2P for a game with the most atrocious UI to ever hit the mmo market won't help either. I know of hundreds of MMO friends who will not play this game still to this day because of the UI. P2P should be put off another 6 months.

    At this point in the game's development 'I don't want to pay for a beta' doesn't fly anymore. Most of the game's major issues have been addressed (although maybe not to your personal satisfaction), and the more glaring issues. Good progress has been made on the lack of content.

    I see posts like this but can't help but think that behind it all is simply people who want the game to remain free indefinitely.

    Personally I think the game is almost ready to be paid for. Biggest Issues this game has right now is the wards and item search. I think SE is adding an AH to solve that problem before people begin to pay. Also 2.0 will feature the first new raid instance end game, the other instance r45 was not really end game to me a 1 hour instance with a timer is not really a end game event to me, but a cluster of people running and rushing getting frustrated. This new official end game raid instance introduced in 2.0 should be up to today's standards, and if it is, than this game is ready for p2p.
