This thread will be probably closed but i wish to explain it form point of view european businessman. Laws in EU are different then in US. In this case in US "lifetime" means "until it works", in EU it means "lifetime". So let's say SE will somehow ban botting. In this case company selling lifetimes in EU is screwed - they have to return all money from lifetimes. Let's be honest - we are cheaters. Most of us would use opportunity to get some money back (i wouldnt because of time and respect for developers as i'm developer also).
So making something shady with suport longer that 90 days is just oo risky for any company. I don't know if you remember case of ffxiapp. It was lifetime, it was awesome but at some point developers weren't earning any money and had to support it still. So they decided to close project. In EU they would be screwed.
So - with ff14minion we are making decent amount of gils/money/levels. 7€/mo. isn't much for this.
