This sorta decided the decision between ESO or Wildstar for me, I'm afraid.

At least Wildstar has the option to pay simply by playing - who knows if it'll work, but I'm willing to give it a try...

Granted, if that doesn't work out, I'd be perfectly willing to see how ESO is, but the videos I've seen thusfar haven't impressed me all that much.
