Thanks for the intelligent response Ilisidi, I do admit the amount of good content in the game is staggering and that alone is grounds for my sub.. don't free players have access to all the event content as well now tho? I get the log-in trap argument, that IS pretty lame in some mmos.
I guess I'm just saying I'd like to see something else from square for all of us players - for the price.. (maybe they can pretend that they have to compete with other mmos?)

And Drwho2010, I didn't compare this game to gatcha, nor would I.. I admit it's been a few years because I've been preoccupied with ff14, but I clearly remember other mmo's I've played namely black desert, blade&soul, terra, neverwinter, eso and a few others all had/have a little reward system that gives players stuff when they log in.. I do understand there are gatcha games with something similar, but mmo's are entirely different.

Thanks for the quick responses tho guys! Really awesome.

On a side note I'm posting from my mobile, do u guys see all these "\\" (forward slashes?) Littering my post before every apostrophe? If you are seeing them too, I apologize it's not intentional. If your not seeing them, than it's probably just my phone.
