To say its "just a game" is not helpful in anyway to the conversation being had! If it was 'just a game" people should have just been happy with 1.0 cus hey "its just a game" its never just a game its the context and culture surrounding the game, the people who made it, the corporations who fund it, the community that plays its. Its the same for all forms of media! I could say movies like The Godfather" was just a movie calm down people "Titanic is just a movie" "Harry Potter is just a movie" "The Avengers is just a movie" no that's reductionist and ignores everything surrounding the thing in question!
There is so much to enjoy here with the new expansion, new areas, story, characters, gear, jobs, interactions with other players. But no, lets harp on ONE thing you dont like to the point of sounding like a child throwing a fit because they didnot get the color toy they wanted.

Not everything needs to be inclusive, not everything needs to have everything someone wants, not everything is for everyone.
