i played ffxiv for quite awhile.. i think total sub time is nearly 3 years and i agree, this game have no p2w aspect. purey your hardwork. what makes me turned away from the game is the global cooldown which make the battle 'slow' and the super emphasize on correct rotation. very good storyline though.

played bdo (and bdo mobile). nice graphic, very flashy and active combat. most stupid thing in this game is those related to RNG, especially during enhancing. 90% success rate means nothing in this game. and from here, the p2w aspect comes into play. need to buy this and that etc.

another good game that i played last time is archage. really nice open world, player driven game but was broken due to hackers. they released new version, archage unchained which is buy-to-play but i havent got the time to try it. plus, there is no sea server, so ping is quite high.
