Is Graal really going to be free to play? Well...

I smoke, a pack of 10 cigarettes is costing more than that now and they won't last me 2 days lol

You don't actually pay £3 a month though.
You pay £24 all at once.

The idea of micropayments isn't to make people who are already happy to pay money just pay less money more often.
It's to get people who wouldn't normally spend the money to say "Oh well it isn't very much, it's just a couple of bucks" and pay without thinking.

If a hobo asks you for £1 each day and you give it to him it's no big deal.
But then one day if he says to you "hey man why don't you just give me £365 now and I won't ask you again for a year" you're going to tell him to **** off.

Point is they're not the same thing and that will be what ends up ****ing this free-to-play thing up, imo.
