If this game goes....

If it goes F2P I will quit,why would you want a f2p mmo?

because just not playing a mmo isn't an option.

This statement here makes plain that the reason mmo developers can get away with putting out crap and still make money is the same reason drug dealers who sell low quality drugs still make money.

I also consider P2P to be a good "troll filter" that keeps the young kids without credit cards out of the game. Sure, there will always be trolls in P2P, but F2P is MUCH worse, in my experience. People who pay are also more likely to be more dedicated to the game, making for friends who log in more consistently.

Cosmetic is a very strong word, considering that charging solely for cosmetic items is a huge gamble. If the customer can obtain the items in game already, they won't be as likely to buy. If you restrict the best stuff to the shop, then you are no better than F2P done wrong, who restrict the high value content behind a pricetag which has already been done by NCsoft already. I don't see Guild Wars 2 being truly "free", I just see another City of Heroes: Freedom. All the stuff you want that's already in the game requires a valid credit card. It's like buying Day One DLC every single day. At least with Pay 2 Play, they just give me the content, whether I want it or not.

ok we get it. you are just trying to hammer this into everybody's head aren't you?

you're not satisfied. WE GET IT.

last legs, blah blah blah final days.. game will have 10k subs in 3 months. ok. please start discussing other things now like maybe how to make the game better for you.

ftp kills games, you wont be alone
if the op wants to play let him stump up the sub like the people here

Hope it will never go F2P so you and all other moaners will not come back, have a nice day folk!

apparently according to the fans GW2 will ONLY have cosmetic items in the cash shop.. That's it!! so basically everybody can just ignore the cash shop and never use it because nobody will care about cool looking characters.

and then if they do that. the developers made a stance they would not be more aggressive with their cash shop. basically they will opt to lose money so long as the players are enjoying their game.

Children equate "free to play" with "failure" because, as usual, they've never held down a job and have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

None.
