Is Stormblood an expansion or a Major update?

[alimdia]

Some people tried to equate Heavensward to a "big patch" and saying it wasn't deserving of being called an "expansion" so he likely thought that your post was a passive-aggressive reference to the same thing.

It depends how people look at it, there's a line of thought that thinks an expansion is just 3.0 and 3.1 to 3.5 are free content updates, while another thinks that 3.1 to 3.5 are part of the expansion (and paid for with the purchase of the expansion), but with a staggered release.

People who follow the first line of thought aren't wrong that 3.0 by itself can barely be called a full game, so the second one makes the most sense for me.
