On the subject of subscriptions and ftp, I've been watching in raids, pug raids and raid finder and have yet to see more than 3 people out of the 24 who are ftp. That, admittedly unscientific, straw poll indicates most people are still subbing and perhaps some of those currently on ftp are holding back until they see the new subscription model. I also noticed it seemed to be the PVP players who were more likely to be ftp, checking their PVP ranking.
