I really dont like pay to play games, in my view it is tax to play the game you already own.Look at WoW for example, you pay to play the game and then when they release an actual new content worthy of playing they call it an expansion and you have to buy it instead of being given to you as a thank you for paying subscription.It is a reason i dont play wow anymore and it is a reason i welcome B2P business model in ESO, i think it is a positive thing and i think it will make devs actually work for the money they expect to get from players,either through DLCs or expansions.B2P is fair,P2P is way for publisher to make extra profit it does not deserve and people are sick of it hence plunging sub numbers in every major P2P MMO.
As far as being "used" for beta testing for consoles version,well, it was your choice whether or not to pay sub for a game that is still in beta ( and i know it was and still is).
