I dunno, I feel like if you're commmiting to play the game perpetually, it's the best value for the player. The type of steady, constant content releases is only possible with a large dev team, which means that the development costs are constant, rather than project based. It requires a steady stream of income to match that.

Paying for the game plus $156 a year to keep playing it doesn't sounds like best value to me.
I can buy other 3 games at release with that money, games like The Witcher or Disgaea or the likes that very likely will provide me more content that FF XIV expansions alone.

I pay $120 for a year (you get discounts for longer sub times), but I've also played a minimum of 500 hours each year. That's a very conservative number based on the amount of scheduled raid time I have each week. Sure, you get tons of value out of Witcher and Disgaea, but for someone who keeps coming back the game, I don't think you can really argue against the value it's able to provide.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
