Pay to Play or Pay to Win?

Something that’s been thrown around a bit in the MMORPG discussion ring recently is the whole free to play and pay to play argument. There are always people with opinions on the matters and there is no shortage of apparent firepower for either side when debating issues related to these games. I’ve played a lot of different games in my time, including free to play and pay to play and this entire article focuses on my own personal preference between the two, and the reasons behind the preference. This is not an attack on your chosen subscription model, your chosen genre or game, or indeed your own personal opinion, or even an attack on you personally.
