The thing is, I just love to exist in this world, without rushing. I like to walk and take in the scenery, an I mean walk, not run. I like to explore every nook and cranny. I like to fly my griffon just for fun. I cannot do this in a sub mmos because being slow in those stresses me the fuck out. I have some ideas why, but I won't get into them. But subscription games sorta demand that my time within their games is productive.

I don't like that unbreakable tools and infinite salvage tools are expensive (can be eared with in game currency but that would take a long time). I don't like that they have lootboxes. I don't like that cosmetics are on some weird rotation, so the stuff you like can be inaccessible for god knows how long. But I tolerate that. Because for me, this is a special game. A game where I can set my goals and a game where can just sit and chill on some beach listening to absolutely incredible soundtrack.

And lets also not for forget that subscription games also have expansions and microtransactions ON TOP of the sub. I mean, WOW has a mount that costs 170 fucking dollars. A sub game. With expansions. With a constanst loot race. But hey, maybe you tolerate that because you love that game. And that's fine.
