Free to play usually means...

[Fairgamer]

Cheap and nasty
Cash shop
Pay to win or pay to progress
Lack of quality updates

I'd rather pay good money for a good game because I and many other just don't value things that are cheap or free.

If people are giving things away, then there's a catch - either it's cr4p or they intend to fleece you in other ways.

Free to play ALWAYS means ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cashgrab. Nothing is free.

Here you go, from their website:

"What is Lucent and how would I use it in game? Lucent is THRONE AND LIBERTY's premium in-game currency. Players make purchases in the in-game shop and in-game Auction House using Lucent. Note: After an Auction House purchase, a temporary trade hold will be placed on all Lucent in your account inventory."

Everyone knows exactly how this is going to go.

Oh 100%. If you see a Korean MMO and its F2P, you know its just another attempt to garner the attention of the high spending whales using a bunch of low spending minnows. You're never the main person in these games, you're always the NPC for the real PC whales to stomp all over.

It sucks because KMMOs tend to have really fun combat and art direction, but they have a low life expectancy in the Western market because minnows eventually realize the ruse and whales move on without lowbies to lord over.

Really wish one of these games would go the WoW/FFXIV route of non P2W, $15/month traditional MMO instead.

Yes, I'm always prepared to pay for quality, because I value my time, so playing a free but rubbish game isn't something I'm going to go - plus all very valid reasons that you just gave.
