The one consistent critic on Heavensward is "too much like ARR"? srsly?

I have seen (and often done) all kinds of complaints against MMOs, but this is the first time I see a game accused of being too like ITSELF.

Be thankful that at SE they seem to follow the "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" wisdom. Not everyone does that, and you see perfectly working games literally ruined by expansions.

FFXIV is a clone of FFXIV!

If you want this game to start innovating and pushing the boundaries on what content we can expect start a protest against the ps3, what?, i'm being serious >.>

Not sure if its been mentioned yet in the 8 pages (probably has) but the complaints I have read have more to do with the fact they didnt really address anything from the original. Particularly the overabundance of boring repetitive fetch quests. Honestly the only improvement ive seen with HW is that the storyline better. Or rather, more consistently entertaining. They added flight, but other than that not much has changed, improved, or been fixed.
