Well a good amount of things like Lord Of Verminion and the upcoming Palace of The Dead, etc aren't even of HW I believe. That is ARR content since newbies can play it.

I like FFXIV and HW. I think HW has been a good expansion/continuation of the game. And for people who have not bought it yet, its worth is way more than what we actually paid for. We payed $30(?) for HW at its release when it had MUCH less content. Someone who buys it now for the same price has all from 3.0-3.32.

So the worth and reviews can easily vary.

I like HW alot though I started Nov. 2014
