An extra dungeon is not worth more than ocean fishing, ishgard restoration, diadem, revamping ARR quests, flying in ARR, bozja, and delubrum reginae.


This expansion did have less exploration zones and no deep dungeon, but it had way more crafter and gatherer content than the other expansions. It might not be a type of content that you are interested in, but it's more content for a portion of the playerbase.
Ocean fishing is just like regular fishing with an extra RNG layer on it. It doesn't really change much, in the grand scheme. And don't say it's an instance and that's new, because Diadem did that in HW, where we got 3.

Speaking of Diadem, restoration straight used Diadem, so part of that was already in the game, on top of quite literally being able to see all its content in literally 5 minutes. I doubt it really took that many resources.

Also, arr's revamp and flying? Really? They didn't add any quests, they only deleted quests and adjusted exp for it. And flying is easily just a switch on. The only real part of that addition that could'a required work was the distanced eye-candy, which wouldn't take that many resources.

Bozja is just Eureka with a different coat of paint, half of its stuff is literally copy pasted. Even the duty stuff is compatible to Ozma, just maybe a bit more pug friendly.

The question I guess was that worth the loss of a good few dungeons that could'a made Expert less numbing by at least having a third option sometimes, on top of Ultimate losing an entire tier, on top of no deep dungeon? Could say that, but considering most examples of what came instead seem to be copy paste's of already existing stuff, it barely feels like it.

Oh, and for the record, I did everything you listed there, even redid ARR. Outside of ARR's quests for obvious reasons, they all were either done super fast, or their copy pastes were clear super fast. It's actually how funny how quick I disliked Bozja just because it felt like Eureka 2.0
