Anybody else with the same concerns as me ?

No concerns here, since I have no doubt subscribers with paid and accrued time will have perks beyond freemium.
 
Also.. you could also try purchase / trade for the items in game. On top of that, it was random what you were going to get in each box anyway, so 6 copies of the game would not guarantee 2 full sets of Mystery Box items. They could have ended with 6 of the same item.

			At first I was...when I first learned about the changes. Felt scared (afraid of a shut down,) worried about the trolls (your game failed, ha it sucks,) and the integration of a F2P model (Pay for all of this content.) But that was me in February...give it time. Accept it. The 5 stages of loss and grief...

If they do go F2P they'll probably do what Rift and TERA do: a subscription option that gives you some kind of perks as long as you are subscribed. Extra XP, increased capability to use dailies, more auction house slots, all bag slots unlocked, that kind of thing.
 
With that said, I heard that RIFT offered 1 year subscriptions right before they announced they'd go Free 2 Play. Then they refused to refund any money to those who had bought that subscription plan. Thus I wouldn't put it past Carbine to act as if they were to keep the sub model until the very last moment.

			I remember that with Rift. If you bought a year sub ahead of time, you got the xpac Storm Legion for free. Then midway through... BAM F2P. People were piiiiiiiisssssssed

/facepalm
 
Wow, you actually submitted a ticket expecting the support guys to confirm that there might be a chance of the game changing its subscription model?
----
			
I'm concerned that you actually thought support staff could answer your question on the games business model. I am also concerned that pointless tickets like that cause people with genuine issues to wait longer for the support they need.
 
lastly you didn't have to buy 6 copies, you don't need those promo items. If you can't afford it as you say then show some self control and go without.
 
 
I think I need more coffee

			I don't even sub months in advance for WoW. Who knows if after one month I'll even still be interested? Don't know why you are surprised that Support gave you the answer that they did. They aren't obligated to disclose that information to you and they probably don't have as many details as you imagine.

			To be quite honest this promotion never bothered me. I did search a few stores nearby but couldn't find copies of the game to try my hand at the kitty hoverboard. :(

Yup. I was one of those people.

			My Gamestop is selling them for $40 still. You can get them for $20 on Amazon, or at least you could last week.

			Since we already have a fairly large thread on f2p going here - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/126076-wildstar-is-going-to-a-hybrid-free-to-play-model-in-august-what-are-your-thoughts/ - I'm going to lock this one and ask everyone to carry on the discussion in that thread.
