    The demographic of the game changes from one that plays the game for what it is to a demographic that plays for a short period of time before moving on.

    The day this game goes F2P is the day they lose one F2P player.
    Don't even get me started on the destruction F2P brings...

    1. non-english speaking players...
    2. people with 50x accounts farming/botting....
    3. non stop trolls re-rolling new toons/locked accounts...
    4. people running around with laser-beam jedi outfits on because the devs want more "cash shop" money and ran out of ideas...

    I could go on for hours...just stop with this "F2P" garbage. the subs are up, deal with having to pay 15.00 dollars/month or go play LoTRo.

    That's why it's BUY TO PLAY. If you want to farm with 50 accounts you have to fork out up to $2500.

    There is a negative stigma around f2p. It's almost taboo to discuss it.
    I think maybe people think that f2p is all about cash shops for vanity crap and pay to win items.
    I think that if ESO goes f2p on console, it will be more like DLC options.

    I loved the DLC for Skyrim. It was optional and didn't negatively affect your gameplay if you chose not to get it.
    Having a sub makes it not optional to play the base game without the extras.
    Having certain sections as DLC such as joining the Dark Brotherhood, I think is acceptable if done right.

    Is DLC more acceptable than the f2p mindset?

    You didn't pay a sub to Skyrim for 12 months.

    But... glad to know what you think.
