If Enix pulled a WoD, the community here would probably argue it was fine. I've never seen a community so firmly against QoL, having things to do or quality. I don't think there's been a single suggestion posted here that people have mostly agreed on (even if the Devs like it and actually implement it later), they'll argue to the death that it's unnecessary, bad, servers will blow up, just wait 6 months, learn to adjust and so on.

Honestly I don't think the patch was that bad in terms of effort put into it, I just think they back themselves into a corner with how they put those resources to use. They pour their time into a new zone, 17 weapon models, a big PvE instance and an EX trial, but they're so afraid to ask anything of us now that they just hand us the rewards at the start, or attach no real reward so we can skip it, and all those resources are wasted.
MMO's thrive on keeping you occupied long term. Next patch is months away after all and old content is not unlimited. It's just not sustainable to pay a team to put countless hours into designing something that lasts your playerbase 45 minutes. It's probably why they had to drop a dungeon, those are a massive resource waste.
