I agree with most of what you said, I would not be upset about 'foundry' abuse just yet, as it is in beta, after all.

One can hope that the overly abusive astral diamond system gets toned down before a real launch. I understand an official launch on a free to play game will be less grand of course.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that these folks are aware of the cash farm system they've built, and are simply pushing the envelope to see player reaction and will then trim the excess fat to make paying for things in game more of a luxury than a necessity.
That is exactly what The Old Republic did when they went F2P. They restricted everything and people got pissed so they backed off. Neverwinter is really fun. The combat is excellent (I like it more than GW2). The world is a gritty, realistic one, similar to that envisioned by earlier Forgotten Realms games. The F2P aspects alone do NOT make this game worth passing on. It is really, really fun. I quit playing P99, WoW vanilla EMU, guild wars 2, path of exile, etc... to play this.
