I've been a big GW and then GW2 player for a long time, and I shared the same ideas. But then I tried FF14, and it's just not the same level. You can see that you're paying for something, the updated content alone justifies the fee compared to the really poor  and rare "new content" added to GW2. 

 

It's like saying "Why would I pay for a console video game when I can play F2P games on my smartphone?"...

Unfortunately, whatever scope from the free updates can't override the sentiments I shared earlier and the comments that BraLoD also makes:

Having to pay for the game and to be able to play it is a non deal to me, and the sole reason I won't be getting it.

Maybe it has been good for SE, but it's not for me.

Exactly like I said, it's similar to smartphone gamers who prefer to play F2P games and will never buy a console game, even GTA, because they don't want to pay for it. They just don't understand or agree with the value. 

 

Don't worry, SE knows that it doesn't attract everyone, and they don't care. They chose the paid high quality, and it works well, it's one of their most successful games and the second most successful MMO after WoW (once again, a MMO with a fee, how strange). A lot of people prefer to pay for a better experience, so they should survive without your money. And like outlawauron said, I think I played 1000 hours in the first year, for maybe the price of 3 games if you include everything in it (and I still didn't have enough time to do everything I wanted to). It's worth it.
