I didn't care for HW, I felt ARR and SB were much better. Iceheart was am amazing character though but I still don't get the love for Haurchefant or Aymeric, they were both kinda boring imo. The only thing I think it did better than SB was not split the story, that was a majorly bad decision. Void Arc was and still is annoying and I didn't care for Alex either cause being a more high fantasy type, I would much rather kill demons and dragons than toasters with attitude.

I think the thing that really killed it for me is as a legacy player I was biting at the bit to get into Ishgard finally and it was a huge let down once I did.
