This is true and, yes, I know FFXI isn't like other MMORPGs (I've played FFXI off and on since its release here in the US). I am merely saying that if you're used to subscriptions being user friendly after playing many many pay to play titles, you aren't going to put forth extra research in to whether of not SE is going to double charge you for 4 days play. That's not typically how the human thought process plays out.
I work a petty menial job. Knowing that SE is taking over an hours pay from me for such a stupid thing upsets me. Is it all their fault? No. However I can still criticize their subscription plan for not being user friendly.
