Case and point: The shift to heavy RNG and glamour focused end-game. While rewarding and engaging to those who simply want to stand out or casual play, disappointing and monotonous to those of us who use skill as a measure of identity. I'm sure we all had our spots in Mor Dhona,Idyllshire and Rhalgar's Reach where we afk with our raid weapons while we wait for the next content, which continues to be further stretched out with every expansion. We went from 3 month patches to 4-4.5 month patches, while still keeping the same amount of content as the former but with the same resources going into "new content" that constantly falls short of its mark.
Aka what happens when the sales and marketing people get promoted over the product design people.
