Whether ARR 'needs' any further trimming after what they did, I don't know. I haven't gone back to replay it.

But if you get a player to buy a boost, okay that's a one time purchase. If ARR makes someone quit however, and making changes would have gotten them to stick around, you keep getting money from them longer term.
Exactly.

In the end, as far as SE is concerned (though the dev team may well feel differently), whether people are having fun is basically irrelevant as long as they're paying sub and/or buying items off of the mog station.
