The amount of content it gives you is fine. It is generous in that aspect.
The fact that it basically forces a single player experience until upgrading isn't fine though. The game is an MMO, you should be able to play with your friends and be in a party with them regardless of having a sub or not. I fail to see any logical reason why preventing that is necessary.
