Personally this is exactly the reason swtor has become unattractive in its later months. You have the die hard fanboys that praise the game up and act like nothing is wrong; although the game is good i mean im still here it has many many many problems. People dont know how to take their heads out their anal cavities and be constructive, the community acts like children and cant comprehend that people can like more than one game at a time. Personally the B2P method could work but would have to be implemented in a manner that doesnt ostrcise the people that have thrown down more than 100 bucks on this MMO (ala me and many others).
For the time being im still up in the air on whether or not i wanna continue with this game, in no way is it the gameplay for me but many other things that would be to boring to write about, and besides if i have an opinion ill either be a troll or get the note worth * Can i has ur stuff* quote.

Well technically both of you are correct. There's no really not much end game content in the BETA (Explorable 5 Man Dungeons are pretty much Tier 1.5 Flashpoints) but that's because they're saving it for the actual release.

Zhaitan the Elder Dragon with the power of Undeath? He's only available to fight after the game goes live.

As far as World Bosses go, the Fire Elemental seemed pretty well done. I'd say easier than Nightmare Pilgrim but way harder than Gargath or PD - which is saying something for Beta content.

and after that they announced the F2P trial up to level 15 with no time limits.
and that change what? its the same company with the same idea and way of working, like thats gonna change.

hmmm $40 a year for an expansion vs. $180 a year for a subscription.....

now comparing GW1 to SWTOR is really like comparing apples to oranges, but based on financials alone, your argument falls apart

I think that an intial investment for the client (probably $40 at this point) plus microtransactions would be a good model for SWTOR. Every sub game I've seen go to this model actually winds up offering more content and quicker. That it's ala carte is a bonus in my opinion.

That way, the developers can really see if people like gear grinding or story based content. Whichever sells the best wins. Basic economics instead of who can shout the loudest on the boards.

did you read the article nowhere does it say it is going F2P anytime soon but that they are looking into it also the interview is a little old that came out just before free to 15 .

F2P means i won ' t pay i also will not purchase future EA/BW products. i loathe F2P that much

yeah I read the article...but the person I was replying to said that the F2P idea was nothing more than forum rumor mill output... to which I proved him wrong.

GW1 is different from GW2. Extremely different. With GW1 they released expansions but GW2 will have free content updates just like a P2P game. You're just being difficult and/or trolling.

that doesn't prove him wrong just proves him right F2P is a forum rumor that has gotten well out of hand
