I had really high hopes for this game, as most of us did. The willingingness to pay any fee with the game in the shape its in now is comepletely subjective on a person to person basis. Those of you that are happy and willing to pay the reduced price, kudos. But dont call out those of us that aren't. This game is still a looooonnnggggg way from being a true FF title, and even SE acknowledged that. I personally don't understand why they didn't at least wait for the new jobs and maybe a level cap increase to start charging. Those of us that have been playing for over a year now still don't have a whole lot to do in the game, and paying even 9$ a month to sit around and do the same 5 activities we have been doing for the past year seems like asking a lot. To me, a truelly good MMO worth paying for is one in which there is litterally so much to do in the game, you don't know where to begin. This game is far from that at the moment. Your options now are to level, craft, do 2 dungeons or the Ifrit fight. Thats a pretty short list, even for 9.99 $ a month.
