What does Heavensward actually bring to the table as an expansion?

Sorry, but it's not lots of players. Its you and a few others.

Just going to point out, it actually is a lot of players. Look at the total amount of subs now, compared to a year or even two years ago. They've dropped massively and theres a reason for that.
Not everyone posts on the forums either. 5 mil accounts =/= 5 mil players. Going to say it again, since some people still don't get it and think theres a ton of players and the game is doing good, when it isn't. But the actual total of players is about 600k-700k (but 5 million accounts?), out of those 600k-700k, about 100k-200k are rmt. Out of whats left, theres about 100k or so that aren't actively playing and only have an active account because they bought extra subscription time. So, not counting rmt, people with 2 accounts for refer a friend and people who have extra time, there's really only about 300k or so. So yes, it is actually a lot of players who feel this way about XIV, seeing as how in 2.0, there were tons of people, by 2.1 the number dropped by 1/4th and has continued to drop each update.

You play for tokens and gear, not for enjoyment. And you forget you're a minority.

So playing for tokens and gear means you don't play for enjoyment? LOL Some people find enjoyment in getting those things you know. Sure sounds like you're belittling people's experiences, being rude to fellow players and all that stuff you claimed about me. Perhaps you were really talking about yourself.
