And you get to play the game, do you not?

Sub fee does not have to equate to "complete access to every single thing made by the developers". It means "you can now access the game". You pay to allow connection to the server. I'm pretty sure it says that much in the User Agreement you signed up to before you even started.

It's like having a season ticket to a game of some kind. It doesn't give you full access to all the food and drink, that usually comes separately at a price. The same is here with the cash shop for the additional extras. The fact that you don't have to pay for the patches between expansions is already more generosity than anyone should expect given the terms of service that you agree with at the beginning.
