Some Food For Thought (While you wait for the game to improve.)

Ehm...last I checked Gamestop doesn't deal in second hand MMOs. The whole CD-key/accounts with personal info are huge no goes in terms of resale. Granted there are other methods for getting rid of an MMO account, but they're frowned upon by the developers and community at large. No one likes a scrub with a bought account. So yes, you are stuck with this once you've bought it.

This isn't a restaurant scenario, this is more of a theme park scenario. They charge you to get in the door, and the goal is to coax more money out of you by showing you a good time so you don't mind picking up over priced theme park swag. Think of the game's content and amusement factor as the sights and rides, and the over priced swag as your subscription fee. This game is a theme park with few awaeome sights and a bunch of rides that are under (re) construction. Yea, they could charge for the swag. But the reality of it is this, without the entertainment no one buys the swag. A lot of people won't even want the free handouts, just a refund on their entry fee.

To put it bluntly, I paid 50 bucks for this game. Which is close to what a ticket to Busch Gardens costs if you're a local resident. If I didn't enjoy my stay there the last time I went, you can bet everything you own that I would let people know why I would never return to Busch Gardens. The same applies for this game. Complaints may be annoying to the employees and die hard fanboys that think the company can do no wrong. But it's legitimate regardless of whether or not you like it. I hesitate to use the phrase the customer is always right, because sometimes they aren't, but I will say this: If the customer ain't happy, you ain't happy. That holds true regardless of what industry you work in.
