That's true, but it's also true that FFXIV is the game least likely to go free 2 play after a while, so this is as sure of a bet that if you think you'll be here for more than a year, it's best to pay the longest sub and think about playing more in the long run.

I, personally, know that if I was going to quit, I would have had plenty of opportunities. I didn't take them. So it makes since to me that, given that ARR is a better game than 1.0, I won't be quitting in the near future.
