They also don't advertise the mogstation in game, don't add stuff to it too frequently, and add plenty of free mounts, minions, outfits, emotes etc. to the game for people to earn.

P.S we don't pay for the expansions with our subscriptions. We pay for the content in-between the expansions, of which there is an awful lot, and not all of the money we give to FFXIV through subs and expansion sales goes to the dev team - Square Enix as a whole takes a lot into their pot.
They add to it far more than I would like, but yeah it could definitely be worse.
