And now I've mostly given up on MMOs.
Guild Wars 2, join us. Gooble Gobble....
I might get it, if only because there's no sub fee.

There's no sub fee, but it has the cost of $60. Honestly, the major turnoff is the fact that people are going to be getting rich in game off spending their own IRL money. What motivation is there if the guy next to me just bought his way to the top with no effort whatsoever?

Besides personal motivation? Really, that's how I feel in regards to the Black Market AH that's coming in MoP; I could care less if the person beside me got his Ashes the old fashioned way or off the BMAH, I'll still be running the Eye every week till it drops for me.

There's no need to be so cynical about it OP.
For one thing, people who love to brag and say "X game will finally kill wow" are just terrible, why can't they just enjoy their game without bragging to others? what's this Epeen crap that if X game can't kill wow, automatically X = Crap?
Games are being judged entirely on their capacity to bleed subs from wow, rather than................ hell. BE FUN! Its a sad reality of this medium.
But while the anti-wow folks out there are annoying with their chanting "X will kill wow" you are little better if you step down to their level and say "X didn't killed wow, NOW SUCK IT DOWN BIACH!"
I for one enjoyed SWTOR, didn't considered it better than wow, but it was a fun game on its own, and its story was nothing short of breathtaking. Whereas I can count the truly epic quest-chains in wow with a pair of hands, the other quests being just the mundane stuff we come to expect from MMO's, SWTOR was the opposite, I had to count the quest-chains that were boring (mostly the planet-side story)
Its a shame SWTOR coudln't make it past even a single year before having to go F2P. Rift was able to hold steady for a year and still hasn't gone free yet, they're even planning their first expac.
I think their biggest flaw was hubris. Opening that many servers was just a bad move. Launching the game with no LFG or Cross-realm just made it worst. The game in and on itself is fun, if you can find people to group with that is =/ sadly its community is akin to a wasteland. Even after the server mergers, it was still hard to find people to group with and do things.
This schism between Free and Paid customers aint gonna help (Lord help you trying to fill a group raid if only paid customers can raid)
They're going Free the wrong way, these limitations won't incentive people to pay up.

Wow has 3d? #$%^ that 2d is tons better.
You like questing? Tooooo $%^&ing bad, you get tons of grinding instead.
Oh you like end game content? There's some, but good luck getting there.
Wait what was that? Was it the low lvl 85 cap? Yea %^&* you WoW, here have a lvl 200 cap that's almost impossible to reach.
You want those awesome items? Well for that you'll have to either grind for hours or merch, oh wait to merch you'll have to get items. How do you get those items you may ask? Mother ^&*!ing grinding.
Oh the items are to expensive? Well that's because the merch guilds completly controlls the economy.
You hate those 12 year olds in WoW? Hah, here have some even more retarded 9 year olds using their moms credit card to but blingzz instead.
You like class balance? Lol that doesn't exist in this game.
This jump quest took you a while? Lol, no problems, it still aquires you nothing.
Enjoy the grinding for hours and hours, *!@#$es.
Think this sounds bad? You've not heard the hilarious part yet. They reduced the time it takes grinding buy somewhere around 2/3.
And still I start playing it again because of nostalgia and lulz.

well they sort of have a f2p part. its a f2p trial account that works till lvl 20 and has quite some restrictions.
but if you want the rest you got to pay.

This sounds exactly like what SWToR has done. It's f2p up to a certain point, and then you have to sub to get the rest. Same as many MMOs. So what exactly is the point of this?

For people who are full of smug when it comes to the title wars to gloat.
