It's interesting how people seem to think that subscriptions equal 'pays for every expense an MMO has', when in reality it doesn't. Look at ESO, who was planning on going P2P but then realized that they couldn't make ends meet with subscription only, so they went B2P and began putting more stuff in their Crown Store, which makes them tons more money than a 'subscription only' ever could. MMOs have a ton of bills to pay to keep the game going, keep new content under development, etc... there are on-going expenses let alone needing to make a profit so as to give returns to investors. People complain simply because they don't WANT TO pay for something, but they don't give any thought behind the reasons why businesses do what they do... hint... they do it because they are a BUSINESS not a CHARITY and they need to make profits.
