    That still doesn't make the A ranks "not content", it just makes them less exciting content. To you at least.

    There are people who dedicate large chunks of their playtime to searching them out and organising hunt trains. It's certainly engaging to them.

    Flying around in the zone searching it is still time spent in the game, out in the field, enjoying the scenery and music.

    Weather changes are what make rare FATEs extra special - it hardly happens so it's exciting when it does. If it happened more frequently with every semi-rare monster I think we'd get tired of it.

    People use the hyperbole that there is no OW content to mean that there is no fun and engaging OW content, there is no quality OW content.

    The only OW content that creates some sort of stimuli would be S rank spawning, not even fighting them.
    Everything else is pretty much hit the harmless HP sponge until it dies, alone or with a train.

    The organization of the trains is only to see if the A Rank are alive, it does not require anything else because making S Rank trains is impossible since mostly these are summon in these same trains, I know because I participate a lot in these for the mounts.

    if you want to fool yourself and consider that seeing a beautiful landscape is "making content" is up to you but if later they tell me that the activities in this game are shit compared to Wow, TESO or FFXI, I will have to be right.

    And it is not only content, it is that the world feels alive with things like these, give me secrets, a place where I can only access after doing something with a reward, give me things like these.

    Different games do things in different ways.

    I'm assuming you've already collected everything and anything in-game then? Gotten every achievement, explored everywhere, have every orchestrion scroll possible?

    I had fun with the new toys, pets, glamours in WoW. There wasn't any particular 'excitement' to getting most of them, especially "the world is alive" excitement. Just a collecting grind, same as in most MMOs.

    If you want to see what you're missing (without the WoWhead "step by step") try these:

    I'm talking about OpenWorld content. And if I have all the rare Fates achievements in the game even in due course I organize groups to get things like Ishgard's Barding that only drop in a chain fate in Churning Mists.

    In Wow while level up in Shadowlands I got two mounts doing things in the world, one included a rare drop that had to be used in a specific place with 1 hour duration. In Pandaria I obtained all the weapons of the Klaxxi that were hidden throughout the continent. (I have the achievement of all the treasures of the game)
