^ It's not really F2P, more Buy2Play, with some Pay2Win / microtransaction elements, since you still have to initially purchase the game; there's just no required subscription anymore.

I personally like the model of Buy2Play better than F2P. When a game is straight up F2P there are a lot of shady mechanics involved to get people to spend money.

I am still tempted by ESO but I think I need to spend some time with it at my friend's place first.

I didn't know Buy2Play was even a thing! Goddam kids these days and their newfangled slangology. My F2P was more in reference to the lack of subscription since it was originally placed there. Do you think incentivising having a subscription is still Pay2Win? It doesn't sound like the benefits are all that crazy, aside from leveling a little bit faster. It may add up over time, but I guess I don't really see it separating the boys from the men, so to speak.

Meh it's pretty much what all normal videogames are, just a similar term for it.

Eh, I'd consider it still having somewhat Pay2Win aspects since you level up faster when you have a subscription, as well as some other bonuses. I wouldn't say the optional subscription is strictly Pay2Win but definitely similar.
