Why did I jump to FF14 from F2P MMOs? Because I was fed up of having to weigh up whether something was worth real money in game. Instead I could just pay my monthly sub by recurring charge, and experience the whole game, and not have to think about money when I am gaming.

Me and me partner were all excited for a wedding. Now instead of being excited I am checking my bank balance. That...that isn't fun...

Why exactly would I want to stick around in a game that makes me say to my girlfriend "sorry hon, you cannot customise our in game marriage as we cannot afford it". That doesn't make me happy.
