Instead of censoring criticism of the Live Letter maybe actually build a good game

People truly imagining that the complaints are born from ignorance of the live letter formula :'D

Exactly the same, more than likely. People botted the hell out of it the first time.

OP omitted what might be the most crucial part of 7.2... pvp. This is pretty much the only place with actual gameplay to boot.
That being said I don't trust them, especially if they do changes as bad and lackluster as 7.1 despite it being the pvp patch.

I'm wondering if the 7.2 PvP changes might be an experiment for potential PvE changes. Like you, my fear is they're going to screw it up.

I don't think OP is offering good faith criticism by any means...but admittedly I did think that this LL was more of a nothing-burger than usual. Like the only announcements that I can remember being something I found interesting in the slightest was a little bit about the new field exploration job system and how that one old Frontlines map is returning, but even that was like...2 slides worth of information. It just feels like there used to be a lot more new things and changes announced, idk. I'd be super excited for PLLs and read the translations first thing if I couldn't catch it live, I was always so excited to see what was in store for the game. But now I didn't really think to check the PLL notes until a few days later and it just felt like, "Oh...that's it?"

Maybe it's just my own attitude toward the game that's changed? Or do you think there really was just less stuff to see and talk about this time? I was really hoping there would be something in there to get me feeling that same excitement again, but it didn't work.

It's the same as it always has been. Part 1 is the general, here is what to expect in the 7.2 patch cycle, part 2 is where they go into more information about them, including any notable job changes (though nothing specific, just generalised statements).

Part 2 they are going to go into the zones and show you, in the flesh, what the cosmic exploration content looks like, and show us what the gameplay loop is going to be, at least in the beginning, they are going to go into Shade's Triangle and give us a quick look at how the phantom job system is going to work.

But remember, they aren't going to tell us everything, they still want there to be an air of mystery, that you need to, shockingly, talk to each other and the community about, share information and help each other out.

This is also why I keep saying it is ridiculous to complain about not getting information, when we know it is likely to come in part 2. It is just getting annoyed for the sake of getting annoyed. Or, i the OPs case, they know what they are going, they know these things stir up trouble, so they make a post to stir it up.

If you're trying to recapture a feeling you had years ago, it's probably not going to happen. Not specific to this game either, it's just a sad part of growing up and getting older.

since they have exactly zero solid defense of the state of the game.

Instead of filling OP filing his post history with negativity and trolling, how about something nice or positive for a change?
