New Ultimate models for the new jobs(instead they just got shire and dungeon weapon models). And many more things that were prior to the pandemic. I do think the pandemic affected things of course, but again, things were bad before it even hit. The datamines for diamond weapon indicated there was a cutscene missing for the fight itself and model changes that went unused. The fight is also on the far shorter end of them as well. As for the entitlement, i dont expect every single thing to be the same as a past expansion. I do expect however, for us to at least see improvements from that past expansion and not downgrades like we've seen this expansion.
You seem to forget the additions of Hrothgar and Viera, which would have resulted in development time taken from other things, especially since both races were released under serious time constraints (meaning they likely had the entire dev team working together on them at one point).
