If the current pacing and quality is something you prefer, then great. Good for you. Certainly not the case for all of us. I get that there's a pandemic, so I understand why they are a little behind. A delay or 2 is to be expected. The delays aren't really bothering me quite as much as the quality of what they've been pushing out. I think I've spent more time playing other games this expansion than I have during any other. They seem to put a ton of effort into the story and Nier raids, and then the rest of the expansion's content suffers. If that's how it's going to be I would prefer that they go back to mediocre story telling.
What kept you logging on at this point in prior expansions? Were there points you stopped bothering to log on because there wasn't anything you want to do?

We also know they decided to make this expansion about adding "lifestyle content". The push to get more players crafting and gathering has been part of that. There's also the player run farms they have mentioned on a few occasions as being a new feature this expansion but otherwise haven't been discussed.
