Subscription Cost Vs. Content Drops

[Jeeqbit]

The subscription isn't paying for content. It's paying for your ability to play it online at all and the basic upkeep of the game.

What pays for content is buying the expansion pack, which is the whole reason the patch content is included in the advertisements for the expansion pack.

If you pay the subscription but do not buy the expansion pack, you actually cannot play much if any of the patch content.

As you are probably aware, the amount of time required per patch appears to be increasing.

It has not increased since they announced it was increasing. It's been about 19-20 weeks for quite a long time now.

basic upkeep of the game

The one in which we get DDOS'd on the daily pretty much for the past months ? Because SE doesnt say we're getting DDOS'd doesnt mean we are not, a website such as ARRStatus shows we are getting DDOS'd close to constantly every single day. Nice "basic upkeep of the game" surely that money is used towards the game.

They do need to solve that. But it's not entirely their fault, since they are being attacked. I do wish they would at least acknowledge it and reveal a plan to deal with it.

So the question posed:
Is it worth it to you?

Yes.

There's really nothing they can do besides jump on it when it happens. Even if they somehow blocked every botnet in existence the attackers could just go up the chain and DDoS an overarching service like their ISP.

You don't have access to every piece of content as soon as an expansion releases.

People pay their subs expecting new, enjoyable content. The game's content is straight up designed to keep people subbed with its lockouts, so saying people are only paying for servers rather than content is a big no.
