The problem is that most people who are put off from playing a sub-based MMO haven't played the free-to-play ones to see what the alternatives are. A subscription to a game serves as an effective barrier for players you may not necessarily want in a game - players with bad ping are less inclined to pay for a sub if they lag. Similarly morons who just want to troll and dick about in game are less likely to pay a sub to do so. Free to play MMOs also have to make money somehow to keep servers up, so they tend to have cash shops. While these aren't inherently bad, most offer more than just cosmetic items, and boil down to paying to get better items than other players have. Or paying for locked content. For all of you not willing to pay a sub - go play a free to play MMO and see how bad they are.
