That post is actually well said and stated for the whole new F2P system.
At the core of the argument the F2P restrictions just scream "SUB NOWTO ENJOY THE GAME!". While I don't want to look at the cash shop and enjoy the game the game just reeks of F2P and get pwnd, or P2P and pwn everyone. Which is not the type of marketable MMO you should make. Ever.
Paying for Power usually sets off people from trying out a game. This goes back to the shall-not-be-mentioned-player-ran-servers for most MMOs that thrive off of donations, and other games where the cash shop is full of BiS items (Take APB Reloaded for example). While this will attract a market I still feel that this type of F2P has stuck all the nails in the coffin and has finally sunk the once great unsinkable ship that was Tortanic.
