I had a lengthy gap in my subscription, but it wasn't for a lack of content in the game(s). It was, in part, for an increase in content out of the game. I've been continually subbed again since mid-2020 because there is a wealth of content in-game and I was able to carve out time again from out-of-game content.
If I don't sub... I sub because my gear is unusable if I don't. My mercs are not able to deploy if l don't. AA spending, Although maxed. Basically at high end you have to sub. OP, to answer the question why a port to N. Ro.. because others may have not gotten the other N Ro port (Which I forgotten about honestly). Why not.
at the end of the day it was free.. quit griping that's ungrateful.. thats like getting a free 10 dollar bill and asking why it wasnt 20 come on now.. and second it has a cool down time both clickies do so now you have two to rotate.. next month might be a cool illusion or something stupid but at the end of it its gonna be free so you dont have to click buy leave it
Maybe try launching things together for a change? God forbid they do ANYTHING that isn't tied to the monthly patch.
