Like costumes and pets... oh wait.... :P As for the living story they had a new one every 2 weeks so you can't complain there was no new content coming out for gw2. Aion is f2p and has big updates every 3 months with more things then the Wildstar drops. f2p might have it actually harder then p2p when it comes to players, it's easy to get into the game but they are not invested in it as an subscription so they need to do a lot to keep the players interested as well and keep them inside the game and playing. If players dont like it they are as easily going to play something else. As for the second part, ESO is doing really well and GW2, AION, star wars, star trek and other free to play games as well. How many p2p games are doing well right now. Wow, FF and Eve, those are all behemoths from older times. And of course it's about the money, it's always about the money as is p2p. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsQNoZxfS_o

Rift had veteran rewards long before it went F2P - in the form of a vendor that would get updated with new items every time you hit a milestone. I worked my butt off for the plat needed to buy the Defiant guard costume. xD

The problem is that you can have a better subscription option. All you'd need is a model that's offering items up front to subscribers worth more than 15 dollars a month just for the price of the sub, and suddenly a subscription is a better option than any F2P game. I just don't credit most people trolling our Facebook and Youtube comments to be able to do the math on that if that's actually what NCSoft and Carbine did.

I'm not rich but I've dibbled into WoW, GW2, SWToR and FF14 cash shops to get some of that awesome stuff. I think a lot of people have at some point and some of them are far from rich.

Back in my day, the best looking stuff came from doing things in game and earning it. And we were happy, too! We used to have to walk a hundred miles, both ways, to get to the raid. And none of this "I can't make it to the raid" nonesense you kids with your iphones and your makeout parties have, we showed up on time five days a week, and we had to grind up mats for consumables on the weekends! Why, there were times when you had to build a nice buffer for your experience because if you died over and over on a boss, you might downlevel! And PVP? You know how you used to get the best stuff for PVP? PVP! And if you wanted that nice looking PVP gear, well, you had to pull on your boots by the straps and PVP! And sure, you died over and over just praying you'd get on a winning team that wasn't killing you over and over because of a gear gap, just wishing one day you'd finally PK somebody and wouldn't be a pushover. Kids these days, don't know how good they've got it...
