From Yoshi's most recent interview,

"On top of that, it's how Final Fantasy XIV as game design is established. It's not about forcing players to keep playing the game consistently. If you just consume everything with each major patch then you've played everything, then you can play other games, you can spend your time and plan around your timing. If you want to come back to Final Fantasy XIV, you can come back and catch up easily. Everybody has different hobbies and ways they want to spend their time, they're quite busy."

A threat of unsubscribing is like an admission to wanting to live a healthier life and not let a game consume you. So, uh, thanks for considering your personal needs??
