I want to hate it but turns out I don't

So I was fully prepared to go all nerd rage on the whole B2P thing, but I have to say I don't see a huge downside for me personally.

At the moment for $15 a month I get:

Access to all current content
Access to all upcoming content when released
Occasional loyalty rewards which have so far sucked

After this change I get exactly the same, plus:
Extra xp
Extra gold
Faster crafting
Choose my own loyalty reward with 1500 crowns per month


Like I said I was really prepared to hate it, but it's hard to see the downside, especially if I can use the crowns to buy DLC and then in the future the game becomes free...

    2/10 (The list made it slightly more believable, so I gave you another point.)

    I was a bit upset at first at the new model but then I thought about paying past 2 walls to play eso; paying $15 sub and +$5 for xbl and psn. Either way, I think the transition could use some polish.

    I'm just a bit disappointment that after playing since early launch, I get less crowns for my monthly subscription combined, then someone paying the subscription -one- month after the change. (This person will also join a much more polished and improved game)

    In all honesty, they could've been a bit more generous to their loyal players.

    That said, and considering the situation with the consoles I think they overall handled the situation rather well in regards to their solution.
