2.0 probably wouldn’t have happened if people didn’t stick around for 1.x, combined with the declining player count for FF11. The real perk for sticking out the last 3 paid months of 1.x wasn’t the legacy tattoo, it was the subscription discount.

Agreed. The subscription discount matters way more than the arbitrary neck tattoo, and I think that type of reward is totally fine. That's not a badge of honor for "the grind", it's compensation for losing the product they originally paid for and incentive to stick around after. Like being grandfathered in to a contract.
