Would you be OK with it?

Pros:

more people
more revenue for CCP means more content (to an extent)


Cons:

more noobs

EDIT:

there is now a mythical wookie that lives in the dead sea, and upon the decision of CCP to go F2P, rose up and completely fixed every problem that removing the subscription fee would cause regarding PLEX and funding. he has generously donated his 2 billion dollar fortune in goat heads and cheddar wiz to fund all further content.

the point of this is to discuss the community based ramifications of a F2P model as none of us can actually know whether a successful F2P model is possible (we don't have the accounting books)



If it happened tomorrow, nothing would change for quite some time. Except maybe an increase in your local target rich environment.

However, development would not be as responsive as it currently is. It would be quite a bit slower.
