lets talk about subscription

Entry level subscription.

Yeah, that one. Thanks. That should fit his criteria then I guess.

On the flip...
I cant think of another sub mmo that basically lets you play the entire original game and all of the first expansion for free until you start paying for an actual sub.

IF i am going to pay 40% more than any MMO in the world then I "SHOULD" EXPECT that type of content out of the game Yet the game has lots of lackings and some boring grinding to do for things like relics which i know are optional but it is part of the game that isnt the most enjoyable to do .

• Consistency. Patches are just about always on schedule.
• Expansions every 2 years. A lot of MMOs cannot manage this consistency.
• An actually motivated team that people have faith in.
• Lack of bugs. For years I had never seen an actual bug in this game until the pandemic caused me to see them sometimes.
• New content to do with new grinds are released every month on average, keeping you busy for a month.
• Let's not forgot you can eat, sleep and breathe this game for a month for that very small monthly fee. The social interaction and joy it brings for that month is more than worth it.

Grinds are part of MMOs to give you a reason to do new content a fair bit. A lot of people enjoy relics and they are popular content.

Square enix's customer service i would say is ranked the worst customer service in any entertainment companies history within last 43 years .

Are you kidding? It's fantastic. Just look at the localization forum to see how many people are praising Square Enix support https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/937

after every update the company finds a way to not once not twice not thrice but quadriple times (4 times) mess up something every patch. so we have to always lose a whole half a day of playtime 4 times in a row after EVERY UPDATE .

This has only happened since the pandemic and after expansion releases. Surely you should understand the impact this has had on their development and operations. We get an extra day of play time if the game is unavailable for more than 24 hours, so half a day doesn't qualify for that.

they never in history landed a clean patch without a BUG or a glitch . every time theres a patch i know ill lose approximately 24-36 hours of them shutting down and not getting my moneys worth of playtime because theyll mess something up and shut it down to fix it another 8 times in a row then the next patch drops and you know youre about to lose another 36 hours of 6 hours each to fix the first patch they dropped .

I'm sorry, but you're just wrong. There is no truth to this.

justify most expensive sub fee ?

It keeps trolls and entitled people away. So, you know. Take the hint.

noticed the OP is still obviously "researching" the "40%" figure that has zero factual basis
