your either P2P or your F2P
I either subscribe to your game and get EVERYTHING
or I play your game free and purchase this and that as I go along
You don't get to do both because you try and I will drop your game faster than you can say market saturation. Contrary to everyone preconceptions WOW is not the only awesome MMO out there and F2P is quickly catching up with quality and content.
I'm sure there will be people who will eat this up but I'm also betting there will be people who will be walking away from the game in disgust. In the end I doubt it will be anything that will make any serious ripples in the WOW pond.

In fact, I think my "addiction" has finally been broken due to my uncompromising belief that I should not be paying 15 bucks a month for the privilege to pay more for items I find essential(the so called fluff of costmetic).
Costmetic(yes I know I am spelling it wrong, its on purpose) items are a tax on the players that find such things fun. The jock gamers that care only about hard numbers and raiding get a free pass because the fluff loving players pay a tax for the kind of content they like. They take our tax, feed it into the servers, and the free loading people reap the rewards.
I want to know why its so damn acceptable to tax one style of game play and not the other.
F2P with a store, or P2P with no limits
