Even with a 2 year break you will quickly come up to speed with everything. With how fast we can level and the lack of any endgame stuff to do besides VW and WoE everything else will get old fast. There is only so many times you will want to repeat the same thing before you get burned out. For those of us who played without long term breaks we are already burned out.

At least if the subscription fee was cheaper i might not feel like its a complete waste of money to keep my character activated for nothing in hopes of something better in the future. And since we really don't know what exactly is in the future because they don't tell us anything but vague responses like "we have big plans" that doesn't tell us anything. An updated road map would have been nice, maybe even a "hey we have an expansion in the works" or something other than "we want to adjust merits". All that says to me is I'll be spending the next year re-meriting my jobs because 8 years ago when they first created the merit categories they didn't realize they sucked for a lot of jobs. Most people are already burned out on meriting with all the limit quests and WS quests requiring merits.
