I think one of the reasons why F2P w/ microtransactions continues to take hold is the simple fact that as more people play more MMOs, they want to play multiple games but they don't want to spend $100 a month on subscriptions.

Sure, monsters respawn in MMOGs and there's essentially an unlimited amount of gold (minus money sinks like armor repairs, food, etc), but there's still a finite amount of monsters that can respawn and servers usually have a finite amount of players. (1000 - 10,000 depending on the MMOG) These are two enormous constraints, compared to F2P RMT, which just prints money on demand - lots of money, at that.

To use F2P as an example of why the lights are going on on the anti-F2P cause, let alone the anti-RMT cause, is both premature and unfounded.

Player RMT is completely differnet, because it's not "printing money" in the same way that F2P RMT is.
-
Microtransactions, cash shops, credit systems, etc. especially on F2P games are a different animal.
