wow... ftp games are the biggest rippoffs because they are more like pay to win. guild wars 2 is the only example of a version of F2P that is currently popular. if you've even played swtor, you'd know that most of the games essential features require a subscription, the free to play is just to get skeptical players hooked on it so they end up paying for a sub anyway. and the full F2P games have expensive cash shops that suck you in too. its a marketing scheme and a very clever one. wow is sub based and its the most popular mmo right now, and thats not likely to change soon. if i had to start a pole i'd say subscription would take the cake. you just seem to want a freebee. and nothing worthwile in the world is free. everything costs something.
