Why 14,99 $?

Well, a few things.

1) a business can charge what they can get, simple
2) a little more in depth, with the lack of content this game has, I too am beginning to question the $15 subscription fee per month as worth it. Basically being maxxed out on content right now, 2.2 will come out with 3 new bosses in Coil, and Leviathan Primal. So, 4 new boss encounters seems interesting, lets say it lasts 2 months even. The problem is, with 2.3 patch, it will just be Crystal Tower downgrade, so I can probably skip that. So I will have to wait an extra 6 months for new Coil, which leaves a 4 month 'gap' window that I just cant really justify paying a subscription, let alone $15. Also I do not currently see the development I would expect for a game with million users paying monthly fees.

tl;dr content and development seems really lacking for a $15/mo MMO

wait are you serious?
let's make some recap of the content of the 2.1 and the next to come 2.2 (i don't talk of the 2.15 or 2.16 even if they are already nice small update by themself)

2.1:
- housing (even if the price are high the systeme is there!)
- pvp in arena
- daily tribes (2 faction)
- 1 new dungeon and 2 hard mode dungeon (and they are different of the previous one not just the monster level up)
- Crystal tower (we can argue that it was ready before)
- a lot of balance in the game!
- all the furniture link to the housing added in the crafting, it's pretty huge.
- treasure hunting, it still need work but good one
- story content! (i include hildebrand into it)
- 3 primordial in extreme+ 2 new primordial (ok this one are old fight remake, but remake a fight and balance it can take more than you think!)
- barber for change the look of your character!

2.2 (from what we know)
- 1 new raid, with gear and new boss.
- 1 new tiers of gears at get from a new tomes. (the old one will surely be balanced on how we get them)
- 1 new dungeon and 2 hard dungeon
- 1 new primordial in hard and extreme+mog in extreme mode.
- 2 new tribes for the dailies
- more story content
- more crafting!
- Glamour (vanity system)
- more feature for the fishing, barber and all the stuff they haven't told us yet!

all of this in 7 month... find me any mmorpg in this last 10 years that had as much content right after the release?

- 2 raid
- 6 dungeon
- 4 faction
- 8 new primordial fight
- tons of new system added to the game

please find me something with as much!

if you focus only on endgame and miss the point the game is not only the big raid... then sorry to say this, but maybe a coop game is better for you than a mmorpg. this sort of game have more to offer than simply a bashing of big monster.
