If SE wants people to subscribe for more months than that, then they'll make content stretch longer for the players that are unsubscribing.

They just are not that interested in profit as they are in making a game they'd want to play themselves ie. a game they can play for an hour after work or at the weekend.
gear doesn't retain value
I mean yes but that's common in MMORPGs. New gear, old stuff is redundant, just how it is.

Your other points don't seem to reflect what the article said at all. The article is simply saying that SE makes a lot of profit from this game but that it doesn't result in feeling like there is anything to do for casual non-raiders and the things there are to do, feel like a new coat of paint on the same stuff from the last expansion.

I can't personally relate though, because the fact of the matter is there are grinds for casual non-raiders: FATEs, hunts, maps, leveling all jobs, custom deliveries, beast tribes - which often have rewards such as mounts to get. Sure, these are a new coat of paint on what we've had for 11 years but I don't personally care about this because I appreciate the new coat of paint.

That said, if they make a new form of content instead or try new ideas, I'm open to it.
