I havent even played the game. But if you rather play games than go out for dinner/get drunk/anyotherhobbie. You have "spare money" to spend on real interests, 20 dollars is not that much then.

I think everyone is okay with the statement that people are leaving the game. But that doesnt mean everyone wants a F2P game. I get that you're mad though, being in Australia and all. This game is not optimized for oceanic playerbase to say the least.

But... but.... Pulse Fire Ezreal is bad ass looking. Back on topic, going f2p has a lot of issues of its own. Honestly, population isn't our concern, as long as the queues aren't bad(and they really are not that bad, takes less than a min to get into a pvp match, even with my level 15 alt), and there's plenty of players to gank in the daily zones(which plenty, though sometime I end up getting myself killed) it doesn't matter to us. They matter to Carbine, NCSoft and their investors. And when the end of the quarter reports go out, they will all make a decision that will be best for profit.

I played CoH off/on for years. It took NCSOFT quite a while before they gave up on CoH. I am a big Star Wars fan. Played SWG from early days and through most of the crap later on... so, roughly 6-7yrs. Looked forward to SWTOR. As soon as SWTOR went F2P, it became less fun and I quit. Same happened with Star Trek Online. However, Ghost Recon Online (Phantoms) was/is F2P. I spent more on that game than $15/month (on average) for nearly 2yrs. But this game was built around F2P from the start.

I'm all for a customization cash shop if its revenue means more playable content, and its inventory can also be earned in-game. Other than that, and maybe a level-capped trial version like WoW uses to get players to try it out, I cast a vote to keep the current sub model. Please no F2P. With F2P comes freeloading riff raff. Yuck.

I lost respect for your opinion as soon as you mentioned F2P... its amazing how many opinions don't even equate a good idea.

I hope that the gamers that have no skill, and can't figure out how interrupts work, or can't figure out you can't ALL defend mid on a Bloodsworn match. quit the game and go back  to the hardcore 2014 gaming world of flappy bird and candy crush.

Absolutely this. It's theoretically possible to play the game without paying anything, but it's totally implausible. To do more than a few dungeons or battlegrounds a week, you need to buy passes - you can't even equip epic-level gear without shelling out for the unlock on the cash shop, and it's not cheap. SWTOR is one big demo without a subscription.
