but isnt FFXIV pretty much copying or drawing its ideas from WoW to get more players/casual crowd and wasnt one of the main things wrong with 1.0 "lack of content" so by your own words FFXIV should have went free to play lol.
and Wint this isnt a F2P vs P2P discussion... Id rather play a P2P game for the exact same reasons you listed.. this topic however is about "since just about every other AAA F2P MMO that isnt WoW seems to be going F2P, why wont/what makes people belive without a doubt that it would never happen to FFXIV?
