Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox One)

I'm not going to get into the details of why F2P gamse are bad but I'd personally rather say a subscription. I'd have good customer support, events that don't such, and no cash shop in my face. Also for the F2P games you have to buy cash shop items for the game to even get into the high level content w/o getting raped since you don't have pay to win equipment. If you really want to see in person just play a Nexon or Perfect World Entertainment game. Their costumer support is bad, the game's community is bad, and it's P2W with cash shop advertisements all over the place. You even get cash shop items as quest rewards just to try to convince you buy more since you've already had a taste of the cash shop.
 
There's two sides to it. Charging to play will give them enough money to help keep the game servers well maintained and add new content as time goes by. It is a lot like the debate between XBL having a charge and the PS3 network being free and why the PS4 will now have a charge as well. But like you said with everything else it makes it just that more expensive for gamers to get into the game.
This game better be good...

This is a very fair/balanced way to look at it.

Having played Vindictus for a couple years I can verify they have the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I've had a refund ticket open for about 6 months. The game's are fine but the customer service is asssssss, speaking of which, solo that avatar! Noice. But anyhow, there are a few f2p games with decent customer service. lol and the old republic spring to mind, generally though you're right. Not only does that subscription pay for hardware and personnel, psychologically it also seems to entitle you to service in a way cash shops fail to.

Vindictus would be so great if Nexon wasn't involved. Fuck Nexon.
Ah I take it you've spent some time with it.

Btw in trying to get a better look at your avatar there I saw you have a ESO beta, why does it matter if stress begins friday? Is that because that usually signals end of testing cycle or because server will be filled ot the brim with tards?
