If you want to nit pick what I said, sure go ahead, my point was there is history of them doing this and there’s no point of freaking out about SE stealing their times or making a big deal like some are, FFXIV’s tome progression formulaic and there was no reason to expect things to change.
Let's be real here; the only reason you said "every expansion" instead of just mentioning HW was to try to legitimize your own position in making the OP/topic look more stupid/unnecessary.

Tome progression throughout a patch/expansion cycle has indeed been formulaic (one uncapped tome, one weekly capped tome), but there has been precisely one opportunity before where, at the end of a cycle (4.0 specifically) they made the decision to nuke both the latest set of tomes and put all of their stuff onto poetics. You do not make a formula or pattern out of ONE instance of it occurring.

Regardless of how you want to spin it, saying "this happens every time" when it's only happened once before is, while not technically incorrect, still kind of misleading and presumptuous.
