No new player is going to drop $60 on a game and then another $60 when they find out the game is locked behind a massive story. My friends quit because they couldn't jump into dungeons right away. Sure they are just a few people but they are the average mmo players. People like that don't stick around if they can't do what they want to do and are told they have to do it this way unless they are a massive fan of the franchise already.
It isn't sustainable? Wha? Do you realize the game has been around for 7+ years and with the drop of Shadowbringers had more active subs than it ever had. The story IS the pull for this game for more people than not.
