Im surprised it took this long into the thread to say this.

Sub based mmo's have been hammered over the past couple of years. Even WOW is in its slow decline. Last game I sub'd to was Rift and I havent sub'd since, because my life has changed and I cant dedicate time to play. I still like to play, but cant justify money month after month where one month I might put in a mighty amount of hours, and another I might put in zero.

I gave up raiding and now just enjoy social play/leveling/PVP. Im not hardcore...but is my money any worse than someone elses? Wouldnt they rather have my 5$ a month rather than my $0

Without spending a certain critical mass of time playing, you dont get your moneys worth = cancel subscription and look for something else.

Im playing GW2 at the moment because it allows me to play to my more casual style.

Im not saying no subs. Certainly there will be people out there that want the full rich experience...most likely the raiding crowd. But there is also a large market in the casuals, and to alienate them is just limiting your market.
