I would not care. So long as the free-to-play model with subscription does not emulate, say, Runescape, where important gameplay-things are locked behind subscription fees, then have at it.
Discounts, exclusive skins, or other subscription incentives would be fine by me. So long as they remain outside the realm of important gameplay functions.
However, I doubt CCP could make subscription appealing enough under those circumstances.
I am a minotaur.

"You're either a member of the paying class or not. Here's a badge recognizing you as a full citizen of Rome who can vote." How do you think other players mayr espond to this?
Indeed. There would be three "classes" so to speak. You have the "upper class" subscribers, "middle class" people who pay but don't subscribe, and the "lower class" who are free-to-play.
The interactions among the three classes would probably include whining and disparaging remarks. Nothing we haven't seen. I doubt most players would respond in any way other than with discourse, civil or otherwise.
If subscription were to cause some to react in more severe ways (quitting, getting a Sony refund, cease buying AUR, etc) then I'd say the reasons for that are more do to other underlying reasons and displeasure with the game (lack of racial parity, bad matchmaking, etc). I would think these cases would be outliers.
