Then let's put it this way: what if they actually go back to WoW and SWTOR (which I'm currently subbing too) and not play this game instead?
Subscriptions won't rise, SE doesn't get ALL the money (because they're a company: that's all they care for, let's be honest here) and you get what you get: all wins (sort of).

Now granted I'm not saying that this game will lose subscriptions because of this issue: it's still a pretty decent MMO and the gameplay is good enough to have made this far and all my effort to withstand this boring story was somewhat rewarded in the end, but it's obvious that they want to lure as many players as they can since they made the "recruit a friend" return for more rewards. Still, if you start saying that "they should go back to WoW or SWTOR" because a new player doesn't like a story, I can assure you that they will. Nobody likes to be slapped that way.

If SE is fine by gating the content like this and having this amount of subscribers instead of more, then I hope for the best: they are simply losing more possible customers that could've been in SE paylist instead of BW or Blizzard. Are the subscribers getting even higher as we speak? Good, I'm not even complaining about it at this point: I'll just leave and go play, as you say, WoW and SWTOR because I apparently can't like a FF game without liking its story.

It's not that I play an MMO for its gameplay or anything!

PS: I just wanted to add that adjusting the MSQ doesn't mean removing: it means, well, adjusting, fixing, improving, making it go faster; as far as I'm concerned nobody really asked for removing it totally.
