    You can write gazillion of posts, it will all comes down to the profit. So spare us.

    So instead of getting 15$ a month per player, they should go to a model where they basically have to coerce, via various frivolous methods, that same amount via a cash shop?

    You may find a man who is willing to pay 15$ for that armor, but how exactly will you ensure that that same man will continue to pay an even marginal amount continually. That's why they usually have to go through methods like content exclusion or XP boosts in order to coerce him into going to the cash shop over and over. In the end, it's not about the progression of the game itself anymore, but of the cash shop.

    That's usually how they end up.

    Most of the ESO fans and players that are actually dedicated to the game and its community would leave if ESO became F2P. ESO would maybe not died, but it would sold its soul... which is worst.

    I'd rather see it die than go F2P.

    Elder Scrolls deserves some dignity.

    By this "logic", I'd rather see ESO die with dignity than to suffer it continuing as a hollow parody of itself.
