Many will argue that the core FPS mechanics don't feel as good as the AAA shooters. That is going to hurt pulling in the competitive crowd. That said I think the in game mechanics that create corp battles and faction warfare will make up for that to some degree.
Most gamers understand the F2P system at this point. We know that it does not mean "free game". Especially for the competitive gamers since they will be the ones that have to buy boosters to have that advantage and not fall back. It is closer to a subscription model than a one time purchase (only there is no clear subscription price), which many will be weary of. And the game only succeeds if people do buy into regular purchases.
i can personally say that im not any kind of badass or hardcore gamer at all, but i will regularly purchase boosters, and i know im not alone on that either, i havent at all done the math to know how much money im actually giving to ccp this way, but with incriments this small its very easy to pay for the boosters and i dont feel like my money is going to waste when i see the difference of playing without them. im pretty sure they have already made money off of the beta, full release is gonna rake in the cash dont you guys worry, most mmos are switching to this type of model for a reason, it works |

the people giving their opinions stating the game will fail like it's a fact are not market researchers they're just butthurt explayers with too much time on the hands
