For those of you that want to pay once and play forever... are you expecting new content?? Where do you think the money is going to come from to pay the 100s of thousands of dollars to keep development on going...

In an MMO people always want more and newer content... this has to be profitable for the company... face it .. if they didn't think it was profitable they wouldn't do it ... ESO has already put 5 years and likely well over a million $ into it so you buying the game once will not even pay for what they have already put into it...

If you want a long lived game you can enjoy for years to come there has to be some type of pay model... FTP with microtansactions seems to be profitable in a lot of MMOs...

I don't mind paying $10-$15 per month for something I enjoy.. I mean thats one 2 hour movie ticket, a couple drinks at a bar or cheap bottle of wine or like a coffee a day for a week or 2...

Why people get all up in arms having to pay for something they really enjoy and spend hours a month doing it...
