.....Would you say FF7 is a bad game because you've beaten it 5 times but now it's boring?
I'd suggest not comparing offline games with online. FF7 might have gotten boring around the 5th time I beat it, sure, but five years later I can pick it up again without having to reactive any accounts and shell out any more money. The two models don't really compare, so we shouldn't compare them.

With an MMO you are paying for that "chunk experience" but you also lose access to it forever without shelling out more and more money, provided the servers are even still running at all. For that, we expect an excellent, extremely well-crafted experience that we will remember forever and always, because it will be gone one day. So far Heavensward hasn't lived up to what I expected that well-crafted experience to be. Even flying was a disappointment aside from the interesting side-quest of hunting down currents (which was probably the best way to introduce it and brilliant on their part).

Flying itself is just a disappointment because you aren't really free to explore the entirety of the world. You still can't land on surfaces you should be able to land on and you still have to go potentially out of your way to find the "doorway" to the next zone. There's many aspects of this game that just aren't up to the standards of a modern mmo.
