Instanced Raids Unveiled!

It's not "making excuses". It's debunking silly, baseless assumptions made of nothhing and biased to the extreme.
And yes, that's quite helpful by definition.

I agree with the video being wrong and not judging the dungeon layout itself til it comes out or we get more SC's. But, it's not debunking because that requires scientific evidence or minimal deviation of pattern. The pattern is thus: announcement of big change, patch that implements change, no additions or tweaks to added content, next big announcement. They have added content, none of which has fundamentally changed the game in anyway and doesn't support much more than a slight deviation from going back to doing leves and behest.

They added sidequests that are unsupported by content beyond rank 10 and NM's that are soloable by any high level mage. That really is all they added: they tweaked leves, anima, rewards, market wards to be more like an auction house ....sort of it but no changes that really mean anything. The pattern is lack of focus and continued implementation and support of added features so far.

It's debunking because the pictures showed look nothing like the dungeons we are currently playing on. Ergo the usual, baseless and biased whines have no reason to be.

The pattern you're describing is your own, personal interpretation, and has really little to do with realistic game development.

The same could be said about your debunking. The pattern is not my own interpretation, it is there in game currently as proof....we have had a few patches since then and they have not improved on those things. The most ridiculous thing is we both want the game to succeed: you just don't want to be "mean" to SE because you feel bad. I praise their work, but I can also recognize and have no issues with saying aloud that specific areas need improvement and that additions need to be continuously fleshed out/fixed before adding in to many new things that require just as much if not more commitment.
