I think the idea that an MMO must be Pay to Play in order to have good support and content updates is as old and wrong a notion as Free to Play always meaning its not a good game.

games like SWToR should show that just because a game is pay to play, it does not guarantee constant updates by the developer.

while at the same time games like League of Legends has a good amount of support and content updates over the years.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who went there.

Beyond CS and tech working against hackers, the skill system is going to be a big hindrance as well. Sure, they can keep making bogus accounts but they'll all be relegated to basic roles, no vehicles, no mods, no enhanced stats. In EVE, botters do get away with building skills but they do it by hiding in plain sight. In non-monitored FPS, hackers get away flagrant exploiting with it due to lack of interference in their jackassery.

PS2 will be unappealing as to gain an advantage, you'll have to stand out. If you stand out, you'll get hammered down. If you come back, it'll be "Hello newb" over.. and over.. and over. Will there be hackers? Of course. There will always be, in any game. Will it be a re-hash of PS1's Reserves horror show? I highly doubt it.

Pay to play is quickly becoming a thing of the past. SWTOR is a pretty good example of that with the amount of subs that have dropped off most likely playing a huge role in the decision to go F2P. The F2P line up is getting bigger all the time and I think it's a great thing.

Hackers will happen no matter what and pay to play is not much of a deterrent.

SWTOR subs dropped because the game was shit and had no endgame content

Remove the SWTOR line from his statement and it's no less valid.

The worst hacking in PS1 (pull hack, cheaters eradicating dozens of players within seconds etc.) happened long after Reserves.

Pay2Play or not, the game NEEDS both a half-working anticheat system and good GM coverage to combat that shit.
