I see nothing wrong with the monthly subscription model, even in addition to single-sum payments for major expansions. I see the subscription cost as necessary for maintaining the world, tweaking it, fixing it, and the number of little goodies that Blizzard creates/runs each month. I see $15ish per month as reasonable for a game that has the extremely high ongoing play value as WoW. I'm just waiting for something better to come along that deserves my $15.
