SE does not give a crap about what you want. They give a crap about what makes them money, and WoW is currently "the way to make money." Do you follow the model with the currently stagnating game with around <300k subscribers or do you follow the model with the currently stagnating game with over 9 million subscribers?

If you say the former, you need to rethink what businesses actually do.
this is why this game is already slated for death, how many successful WoW clones have you seen that have succeeded in the long run....ill give you a hint, its the #0.

FFWoW will be no exception, the wow fans will come bitch for 2 years about how hard its is to get there goobue mount. Then once they've derailed the game dissecting it piece by piece and changing its development processes they will do what all WoW fans do GO back to wow as its will remain the only game that actually wipes your ass for you.
