You could break that down to say the same about virtually any game ever released.

And do you really think paying a monthly sub to go to "ongoing bug
fixes" is acceptable?


For a game that's continually being updated and is rather large I'd say so, yes. For something of the sheer volume of an MMO there are going to be people trying or doing things you could never account for in testing. Are you saying that if there are any bugs they shouldn't waste their time fixing them at all? If bugs get found they get fixed and relatively promptly, I don't see that as a bad thing.
