Will we lose subscriptions over this? Likely. However I feel that the more common case will be people lapsing out to play other games while they wait, and returning in November, which is both expected and acceptable to the developers. They stated multiple times that they expect and anticipate some groups to fall off in the downtime between patches.

Those that find reasons to stay rack up their loyalty rewards faster than those who lapse in and out. Honestly, I was taking a break until I heard this, now I want to catch up other jobs so I can be more flexible for Exploratory Missions.

Some people got more reasons to stay, some people got more reasons to leave. *shurg* I'm ok with this.
