That's an unanswerable question without knowing more about you. If you have the entertainment money to spare, you like the immersion/art/style ... yeah, sure it is at least worth a few months of exploration, longer if you find a fun guild.

If every penny counts and you can't afford $15/month (3 Starbucks coffees a month or two bar drinks) - then seeking a F2P and staying away from the cash shop is the prudent option.

I tend to compute entertainment value in terms of $$/hours. If I'm spending 40 hours a month in an MMO and having fun, then $15 (38 cents an hour) is a damn good value. Even at 3hrs a month, that's still cheaper than a movie.
