Here is the thing...the people asking for F2P? they want to avoid exactly what you are talking about too. They also want to avoid farming up Plat to buy CREDD, no matter how easy some people claim earning Plat is, those people do not want to do it. I wouldnt call it all laziness either, it might just be that their gameplay style doesnt allow them to farm up Plat and so they would have to go out of their way to earn Plat, possibly doing activities in game that they dont like or find fun.

ToR saved themselves yes, but it is extremely casual now and basically there for people who just want to play the class stories. They have (not sure if they still do) but from the beginning till f2p, they had 3 level of difficulties for their "Operations" aka raids. Right when they decided they were going f2p they decided to only have 2 difficulties instead on new ones and then down the road on "content patches" would make the 3rd difficulty as the big selling point for their content release. That is what f2p type games do. How is the last difficulty of a raid the big part of a content patch? That is complete poo. ToR in reality is one of the worst f2p systems out there. You can basically only level up and see the class stories but need to delete it if you want to see another. Sure you can unlock more characters byt paying real money. Rift I didn't get to max level so not sure what they offer, but I can tell a huge difference in the quality and content from when it was sub based to f2p. Back to ToR though, it is making money because of their cash shop. People spend so much money on these things that if it was only a sub based game they would get them for free along with a lot more quality content and in a more timely fashion. IMO people get so hung up on the word "free" for f2p that they don't see nor care about actual content.

This! A thousand times THIS! All of this! Watching how every single MMO's community that I've been a part of suddenly turns in a toxic cesspool when F2P is introduced is no coincidence. Sure you might get a few people who are actually invested, but what you overwhelmingly get are a massive influx of people that don't even care about the game. People who half-*cupcake* everything and refuse to learn. And worst of all people who fill all the most populated chats with cursing/flaming/racism/Other-forms-of-"Try Hard Edgyness". Because know that they have nothing to lose. Because the game is free. So being banned means next to nothing.
