In the time since Wings was wrapped up, XIV players got a whole new game, and will have a second whole new game before S-E even thinks of throwing a $10 add-on our way.
It's been awhile, XIV is a game being overhauled. A Newer MMO being overhauled. FFXI is an established MMO with being this late in life, it's not going to get grand content addtitions. Even EQ's expansions aren't what they used to be because its an OLD game lol.

We are entitled to get our money's worth. We aren't getting half the attention XIV is, yet we're paying a third more.
Let's see...

FFXIV: Being overhauled, in development, barely 2 years old.
FFXI: Not being overhauled, 10 years old, not in development.

I think that about sums it up.

We pay month by month. What has your $12.95 gotten you in the past month?
My $14.95 last month got me continued access to do the content available in FFXI that I haven't completed yet (This is an MMO btw.)

And we're not?
To my knowledge FFXI isn't being overhauled unless they announce it at the Japanese Fanfest or E3.

we're funding it!
I funded it by playing Wakfu. I funded it by buying every other SE product. FFXI isn't XIV's fund source (you also pay monthly or in 3-6 month time periods, by the way.)

So beyond entitlement, XI isn't really deserving of a discount. XI is a VERY old MMO now, hell most MMOs these days don't even last 5 years if you've noticed, most that have are already older MMOs that's been around before the MMO rush.

A lower subscription fee for a lower service standard.
In all actuality, they should have dropped the service fee everytime they didn't release an expansion pack if this is the logic being used. Why did I pay $14.95+ in 2004 before CoP? Why did I in 2005 with NO expansion packs? Why did I in 2007 before WoTG? Why did I in 2008 with no add-ons? They can't just drop the fee just because you're not satisfied with completing 100% of FFXI's content and want more bang for your buck.

...Did you complete 100% of FFXI's content? If so I apologize, you do need a discount for having nothing to do.
