Would you play this game if it wasn't pay to play and it was free to play with a cash shop with microtransactions?

No F2P games are not worth the time imo.

Not a chance. F2P has ruined many mmo's. This game is worth the small amount each month.

Probably not for long. It's more expensive to get the whole game experience with F2P.

No. I HATE F2P games with their micro transactions. With SWTOR, I pay 50 cents a day for constant updates and fixes. I like that a lot.

I agree with this. I have played a F2P. It ended up being more expensive to play. Besides, I don't think it's very fun to buy your way to the top.

I would leave. I have been in the f2p model and spent about 200 dollars in a year to keep up with all the content. Paying 15 a month is cheaper.

No.

If you analyse most F2P games. ALL the best features are in their paid tiers. F2P is a missleading. In the end if one likes a game they will become a top tier subscriber.

Look at Fallen Earths Model, or EQ1 for example all the best stuff is in the P2P tier.

If you like a game support it with your money so there are investment dollars to continue developement and support bug fixes and maintenance. If you don't like it don't play it.

Let the market deside.

In the end you will pay something to play. There really isn't any F2P.

F2P would be:

1.) Client for free.
2.) ALL features for free.
3.) NO ingame product placement ( yes that is a distraction that takes away from your time playing.

This WILL NEVER happen because it costs money to produce a product.

In the end you pay something either time or money and or suffer thru advertisements.

I am fine with the Subscription NO micro transaction model.
