User blog comment:Ikabite/The Elder Scrolls Online: P2P or F2P?/@comment-4705438-20121126183242

I love to see that there are so many people that get this and I won't be stared at as a freak. But I am still highly dissapointed with the current state of the vote.

To put it short, the not-so-new-anymore F2P model with microtransactions ruin games. It is very rarely done right, offering only cosmetic items, such as rare pets and outfits.

First of all, whatever is your goal with the game: PvP, PvE, story or RP, you will end up paying a lot more than you would by paying a mothly subscription. All of this only gives you an illusion of a "Free Game".

Secondly, no mater how is the game rated of what kind of content it has, a free game will be plagued by ignorant and immature audience. This will make such activities as Role-Playing neary to impossible.

I am very hyped for The Elder Scrolls: Online, but if it indeed does choose the F2P model, I refuse to play it.
