The instant boost to cash flow can help SE greatly, it all depends on if they need to expand their team to explode in production at wake of ARR release, specially if they release before 100% ready. We can really know at beta.

Also SE can invest the money and its possible to make more in that route then letting it trickle in (not guaranteed).

Its not a waste for SE to consider this, and it really is up to very educated decisions by SE team who have the numbers and dev plans (players can speculate of course- its just not as accurate a calculation when you dont have all the information). It may be a bad plan for them, it may be a great plan, most likely if they ran it they would want to moderate how many came in through it (though -most- people dont load up on big purchases like that, I imagine a few hundred would out of(/per) thousands).
It's very hard to say ARR needs to have lifetime subs since it's the international game like FFXI and you are right that it needs to be very educated decisions. Yoshi-P is like a new man and his first time being a producer, however he has experienced being a director for many games before (<33 Super Bomberman games) so we shouldn't be worrying tho. Good thing that SE got the awesome producer that can use the company's powers to keep us entertaining. lol

Yes, BETA here we are waiting...
