Saw multiple threads about F2P (free to play) or SUB (pay to play) with mixed answers so i made a poll for it http://poll.pollcode.com/p8xp2t
This is a really really tough decision.....subs bring a balanced game but with fewer players and f2p brings many players but a system I just never liked :/.
exactly my thought . i voted sub tooQuote:

You should have added B2P ( Buy 2 Play) to the poll. I got a feeling that it will be like Guild Wars 2 buy the game with no Sub and have a in game store.Quote:

SWTOR just did that. They went F2P with a Sub option. i think its worked out for them since the servers got over loaded already. a lot of people want F2P to try the game out then go sub when they want to pvp/raid and get more in depth with all the game has to offer.
With Defiance im not sure this model would work since a lot of the game is based around group play and pvp.
Personally i would love a Sub system since it makes the player base more loyal and conscious about how they play the game and interact with each other.
Although F2P has been know to bring in more cash to the company, so it makes it a very tempting solution for long term sustainability. but i think since rift is still sub based and strong as ever there is no reason Defiance can't follow in its wake.
F2P all the fluff they sell i won't be buying anyway and i like paying less, as far as jerks go that is what ignore feature is for. A lot of people that want games to be sub only know they are gonna go broke buying cosmetic items so they are asking the game to save them....from themselves. Statistically the people that complain the most about F2P are its biggest consumers.
I could not find your answer there. From the first phrase you say you look in favor of F2P. And you are clearly saying that you would not spend a single penny in the store. But my question, as we now that it will be most likly at least buy the box then chose, will you buy the box (or pay the download from steam or elsewhere)?Quote:

you forgot a 3rd option the choice sub = access to everything and dlc for free, f2p = buy micro transaction items plus buy dlc. so sub pay 180 a year for sub and enjoy everything, ftp pay 30+ a year on item and pay 5-15 per dlc. so lets say their are 4 dlc aka patch in a year that's 20-60 plus your item that's 50-90 a year far cheaper then sub.
that's how i think it should work and its how swtor and secret world are runnig
