I was reading one person's opinion today and they honestly believe F2P(free to play) with the Item mail was better than P2P(pay to play). I've tried alot of thoses F2P games and tried a few P2P. Almost every free to play game has an item mail there no escaping it.

Which do you think is better to Pay to Play or Free to Play for the best gaming experiance, If you could choses and could pay for it.

That is a hard to choice to make really. But I might have to go with P2P, probably because the things you can get a from a virtual mall is probably in game already. You are paying for it already, so makes a little sense. You probably pay more on buying items, then you do on the subscription. 

If I had a choice I would prefer p2p games. why? I think it's simple: p2p games are generally much better (more functions, more active GMs, no hacks/bots and no rich-kids who own cos have a lot of money) and in-game community is more mature (no 10-15 year olds kids screaming: "money plox!!"). On the other hand, If I had to play without friends (because they don't have money etc.) I would prefer f2p game :P

 Have you ever been to Barrens Chat? :P Plenty of "Mon3y plox!11!!" shows up in WoW and other p2p games like it. I generally think that the communities behind most f2p are better and more willing to help promote the game than in p2p communities. 

 WoW is too popular to avoid immature kids but generally p2p games have much less such people and community is closely-knit. Ofc. it's just my opinion based on my experience :P

I say F2P w/Item Mall because it will end up attracting more players and the items sold (so far)  doesn't give the paying a complete shortcut above the others.  But then again, we don't know exactly what's gong to be put in the item mall, so that's just speculation.  Although, I have faith in the community, as this type of game can't really warrant any "M0n3y plox!1!" or "gtfo nub" complaints. 

i deno i always love the f2p with item mall even though im still spending +30 bucks a month instead of just paying like 20 i like the more diverse community i guess

 i really think F2P is cause with an item mall u dont have to pay like $30 a month but u can pay once so u can buy item mall stuff

im going with P2P more things to do and  u have less ppl on the games i play

Personally, I prefer to Pay for the game (One Time) and have free play Without item malls. (Best example of this is Guild Wars, which I still think is the best game in term of the deep strategy involved)

But given the choice of only subscription Vs Item Malls, I would probably have to choose subscription since for many games I've tried, P2P is simply better in term of gameplay.

I agree, i really like GW system of buyin and free to play after.

Itz very effective and the game isnt a open map like WoW. So my vote is on boexile saying,

F2P + Vanity Item mall FTW.

You can pay if you want, but don't have too.
