This has destroyed/devauled a lot of content and now SE is in a bad predicament for XI. We do need more content to keep everyone happy, and only getting things like VW or Nyzul Uncharted is not going to please some of their playerbase.

I don't want to see SE in the same boat on XI as they are in XIV. They release new content once every 3 months and the playerbase is done with it in 2-4 weeks. Then people leave for 2 months to wait it out and save money. I think a token-based system would lead to more people cancelling their subscriptions or disappearing for 2 months at a time.
