I wonder how many people actually have regular access to wi-fi. The average person who doesn't have a laptop probably doesn't have wi-fi at home. I don't know if most people even have wi-fi at work. Considering how often I see people hunched over a phone texting or doing some other non-phone call activity, I think that a lot of people out there will be using data over their 3G.

And imagine when 4G is readily available. If you can get that kind of speed then you're not going to want to wait until you're in a free hotspot. That's half the idea of a smart phone... using it anywhere.

People don't use much data now, but pretty soon iPhone users are going to have hi-def video to upload, Netflix, video calling, multi-tasking so that they can listen to Pandora in the background.. all just in time for metered data. And even if you don't break the limit usually, now you have to pay attention to it, always monitoring your data usage, especially when you're about to use any of the new features.

I would pay. I did on WoW for a long time. I love the social aspect, I love the ability to buy or trade with others, I love the ability to give or get help with quests or hard kills. But I hate that there's so much a solo player can't do.

My playing style just isn't cut out for groups. I lack the self confidence, I don't have enough privacy at home to voice very often, the amount of time I have to play is sporadic and I can't be relied upon to show up at a specific time or play for a set length of time.

Because of that, there is a whole lot of content I'll never see. What I would love is for every dungeon and quest to scale for the number of players. However hard a raid is for 10 people, scale it down so that a solo can do it with the same relative difficulty. That way everyone can do everything and get all the treasure and equipment.

If I had that I would definitely pay. In fact, the game would be worth more to me and I might consider paying more than it currently costs. As it stands now, though, I quit because I was unable to go much further as a solo player.
