Based on the history of what has been released for FFXIV, and what the developers said they would release, it takes a level of wishful thinking to think it would be anything more. The time to complain about the content being too much like PotD would have been when they said it was going to be like PotD. What one shouldn't do is remain silent when the devs say it is going to be PotD for Stormblood, and then when you get exactly that, start complaining. It's not foolish to expect high quality from Square, but it is foolish to expect something that they never brought up. If they had said that this was going to be different/unique, and not a copy of PotD, then you would have a point.
