That's the thing, there's more to it then longevity or a grind, there's having fun. As difficult as it may be for you to imagine, people do have fun with Normal Mode Alexander and the Void Ark, the Void Ark is the most fun I've had in this game since I ran LoTA for the first time actually. If I've had fun and a good experience, I'll retain my subscription, if I'm forced to grind two dungeons for Esoteric gear that I may not like the appearance of I'll remain unsubscribed until the next part of the Sky Pirate series.
