My gaming day started after work.
...a nerve-wracking bank to bank running-mother-lode-node with 65 Tier2 recipes/maneuvers/spells
...Got on mumble and joined a philosophical discussion on alignment in MMOs vs tabletop vs real world where there were vast difference in opinion yet not one raised voice
...then a discussion about building a settlement from the ground up
...then listening in on an in-depth economics PFU lecture that turned into a discussion on holdings and outposts
...all the while running an exploring toon around hunting escalation levels in the non-claimed home hexes for the token rush Thursday (Friday?)
...then doing the running-simulation thing to a depleted home hex to join the last battle. The Moloch General went down quickly, but I had moved into an area where the evasion utility led me to fall down one of those unGodly mesas where getting back into the battle was not going to happen. So I just tried to target any mob that my fellow partymates kited into my range. I was able to help with two of the remaining. Looked in inventory to see two blue items and a purple item: Redouble, Death Ward, and Intense Crystal +3 recipe.
Fun times.
Then ran to another hex and in 35 minutes of escalation hunting my toon pulled in 4 tier 2 recipes.
Is the above worth a fifteen-dollar-a-month subscription in an unfinished game? To me it was worth fifteen dollars just that night, but wasn't much different in "fun" than any other night until...
...it all was drowned out by what happened near the end of my game night leading to more joy than all of the above combined. I had found a hex that was at its end and called out for anyone who wanted to help finish it off. It was low level (but hey the boss was already there so why not?). One university student whose toon in her words was only "three or four hours old" ran out from the starter town. We came up on the boss and saw where they had a gaggle of archers and I worried that she would become a human pincushion and lose whatever maneuver that popped, so the strategy was for her to shoot once and run and I would just sit there and hope to shoot the ones chasing her. We managed that and when I got rid of the archers I asked, "I got Rush, what maneuver did you get"?...
Augment
BOOM!
You are win!
