Unfortunately logic does not apply to Conan - or your logic is wrong. I’ve been playing a few years and like you I really believed it was in the best interest of Funcom’s coffers to make the game good.
Time has shown that Funcom has no ability and little incentive to make the game good, and yet it seems their coffers are doing just fine, especially with the introduction of the much-reviled bazaar.
