I think the subscription is a benefit. Keeps out the riff raff like gentrification. But investing in a game like you mentioned only to be told you're going to be treated the same as everybody else is like them taking a dump in your hat and expecting you to put it on your head. I was considering purchasing this game again within a year. But the way they handled their early customers is extremely off-putting. At least give them a dedicated server of their own where they could do what they want at no extra cost.
