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

Except.. they aren't empty statements, they're valid, legitimate concerns. People AREN'T doing old content any more, making it essentially "replaced" with the new content. As far as I can tell, you're just ignoring everything he's saying in order to insult him.

Last time I'm going to say it because it really feels like you're not getting it and just blindly defending XIV. But yes, replaced. Everything pre 3.0 was replaced. Do people do coil? Do people do ex primals? Do people do any of the lvl 50 dungeons if they're not doing high lvl? Do people do CT? No. No they don't. You can even see this with other topics popping up about people trying to do pony farms and no one's joining. All of that content was replaced. If it wasn't replaced, like you're saying, then people would still be doing those, they'd still be relevant, the gear would be useful, but it's not. None of it is.

There are plenty of NEW/RETURNING PLAYERS who need/want to run the content that is 'old' and 'outdated' to US! Same with the magitek weapons and Ironworks gear, THEY will need it.

Old world content has only been replaced for those of us over level 52 or so. Everyone else, and according to that census over that means 60% of the player base, is less than level 41, and either is or will need to do the old raids and dungeons.
