I never played planetside 1 so I dont know if planetsid2 two wasn't as fun but I loved it and invested money into planetside 2 (until daybreak took over and those money grabbers can't crash and burn for all i care. As for eve and wow boarding close to failure because of their shops, I don't agree. they are trying to stay competitive. that is the crux of it. Have you noticed the changes primarily have happened in wow. lets see. Faster to level (this I feel is because today's gamers don't have the stick-ability to take a year to level and learn there toon, I gave up when power levelled tanks can't tank) Able to buy mounts and pets (what is this, can't you little Adhd players grind for the satisfaction of when you get that illusive mount) and Able to jump into random dungeons to level with people who you can't guild with because they are on a different shard. (Welcome to the game you whiny little shits who leave because the groups can't kill a boss first time even though it was your fault we wiped) Best example I have come across was a Warrior Tank who queue in random as a tank and then said to me a druid. oh sweet you can can't I will DPS. problem was I was the healer and told him to Tank as he queued in and I didn't have tank gear. he told me I was a loser because I didn't dual spec and carry tank gear.

I would agree with you to a certain amount Ferran. The Pay to Play model in the past has usually been paired with games of high quality and regular updates. But as the gaming industry has started to understand is that a p2p model is a high pay wall that most people are not willing to pay anymore. I see many people play f2p or b2p and sometimes complain about the quality but in general they are still not playing p2p games. This game potentially needs to have a huge community and p2p may make that hard to achieve. and micro-transaction for customisation's and non game mechanics changing this is extremely lucrative if done right. maybe even Make limited edition ascetic items, maybe 1000 of a particular texture set for a ship. maybe so I can fly around with one of the only 1000 18 carat gold destroyers... Woot Astrophil, you are correct you do not have to keep buying the game... as you have never brought it in the first place. The p2p model is a lease on a game that perpetually can update bringing you new content. but for a lot of people that has stopped being an acceptable way to consume media. I invested (both proud and shamefully) about 6 years into World of Warcraft. Do you know what stopped me from continuing to play? the p2p model and then on top of that the shift to anonymity of the random queues. the pay to play model did not stop people from being assh....'s and in the end they changed the game completely under me from a game I loved to something that was horrendous. and what am I left with. I spent more money on that game then I have on my entire steam library and now I don't get to play it and can't even see my beloved character on the armoury as I have been inactive too long. This is reinforced by the fact Blizzard went after the largest private server who was hosting classic wow because they were threatened by it. If blizzard would roll up a heritage server to go back and have vanilla or before cataclysm then I would buy a once of payment to play on it. Oh and buy the way, did you hear that WoW keeps loosing active players. As for Netflix, this is a completely different type product and subscription on here makes sense. but that is because you are not subscribing to one developer for one product. Netflix is bringing you a multitude of company's bringing you regular diverse updates to all different type of programming. This doesn't even come close to what you would be subscribing to for a single game by an independent developer.
