I thought about writing a long ass response to this but fuck all of that.
I honestly am happy with where it is as a game after playing it since 1.0 and hope they keep making it better and better. I get why some people don't think the sub is worth it and that's entirely their value judgement to make. But there is loads of shit to do and it's pretty happy if you come hang out then leave for some months and come back later for a good binge. And the community is still pretty awesome though there have been a few too many people trying to avoid assimilation. But resistance is futile. They will assimilate. And the game will keep going until they get tied of it and jike the whole shebang again.
Yeah I agree, this is bullshit. I’m probably in the minority but I take “vote with your wallet” seriously and I’ve just kept my sub going since I started playing in like 2018? Even the months that go by that I don’t play, I feel I’m getting some value by keeping their team cooking.
Meanwhile WoW is getting roasted for its latest grift. I guess that’s stacking value, just not for the players.
I ended my sub a month or so after finishing Dawntrail’s story. My choice of “time filler” was to level up Blue Mage, which gave an interesting and fun new spell every few levels. But even with the many XP bonuses in effect, it was taking an achingly long time and I was realizing I was treating the game like a job.
I had given my shot at high level content, and its indecipherable on top of needing carpal tunnel inputs, so, not for me.
