A) The $ goes on the left. $5. $10. $15.

Monthly subs are a fading trend in the mmo industry. Nobody likes paying rent for a game they buy. Make some things for the gemshop that people will actually want and the money will flow. Make expansions like nightfall and factions and even more money will flow. A monthly fee to unlock content would only be a nail in it`s coffin.
I don’t think a sub fee would make ArenaNet earn more money at all. F2P/B2P MMOs often earn more money than P2P MMOs, and the NCSoft earnings report have shown that GW2 is still going strong in terms of both sales and gem store.
Free access to all items on the gem store for subscribers? Really? Let me just stock up on all the items they’re selling (bank access, repair canisters, BL chests etc) and I won’t have a reason to pay the sub next month. No way that they would do this.
This is a supremely absurd idea for multiple reasons.
