To even play this game at launch you needed a 1k+ PC 10 bucks is laughable
Imagine a player who has achieved everything he ever wanted to achive in this game. Why should he keep paying 10$ a month, although theres nothing that he wants to achieve anymore? In WoW, people just unsubbed. Don't call me out on the social aspect, i know it exists and it kept me playing. Others might just stick to voice comms and unsub.

Now, imagine this veteran player would be able to spend his enormous amounts of gil to pay for his sub. There's nothing interesting to spend money on anymore, anyway. Wham, a veteran stays, other benefit from his knowledge. He may spend some time with new players or just enjoy to help out some pickups.

That player would be gone otherwise. He found a "magical" way to stay. And SE is still earning money from this player's sub, even though he doesn't spend a single buck on it.

Don't you like this idea?
