From a solely consumer standpoint...

1/10 bait, very low quality. No effort made. I want my money back, and I didn't even pay for this

Unfortunately, that's 30 seconds of our lives we can never get back in any form.

This expansion is a complete ripoff. What have we actually paid for besides 14 hours of cinema and a whole lot of the same thing we already had?

Was the story good? Yes, minus the plot holes. I'm not saying the movie wasn't of great quality, I'm saying I didn't get to play my character more than 5 minutes at a time until I hit 90. At which point I was handed a free set of 90 gear I didn't need because the game/story line ended when I hit 90.

Two 90 dungeons and 4 raid bosses. No new story arc. Boss mechanics are reskins of the same stuff we've been doing for ten years. Go stand over here during this, go stand over there during that. Always stay in motion because that's the only idea the devs seem to be capable of.

The firmament opened over 2 years ago, yet the neighborhood is still absent. So all this gil is useless, as is crafting because of the broken economy. Am I the only one who finds it offensive that valuable server space was wasted on the Firmament and Diadem instead of just expanding the existing neighborhoods? Or that SE somehow made it our job in-game to do extra chores to somehow EARN new disk space? I'm 100% positive that nothing I do in cyberspace creates hard drives in real life. And since I can look up subscription numbers and profits online, I have to ask the question of where the hell all those record profits are actually going.

It's not our job as consumers to jump through hoops and suffer distraction after distraction just to get the features this game advertises but can't deliver. If there isn't ALWAYS a lot of each size for sale, and I mean ALWAYS, EA isn't delivering on their end of the business/consumer arrangement. Especially when so many features and items require owning a house.

In my mind, this will always be the company that couldn't deliver from here on out.

Bad bait. They've delivered what's standard for an expansion release patch.

As a consumer who's worried about getting best value for your money, you'd be better off not buying and subscribing until SE announces they will no longer be making new content for the game. At that point you can get access to all the content the game will ever have for the smallest cost.

I mean, I only got six new zones and 14+ hours of a wild ride. Why not 20 new zones? Why not 40 new zones and a neverending story that gets released faster than even I can clear it?

This is some oh so glorious bait folks. Ignore and move on with your day.

" No one can say anything bad about the game that I can't refuse to let go since 1 decade , everyone must be trolling "

I think he has a point tbh. I also felt like I wouldn't play much (especially on the last zone), there was almost no gameplay between cutscenes. Zones in general felt tiny compared to other zones (not all of them, mind you, but most. Mainly because of the shape (round) I guess. The last zone (no spoiler!) was tiny, like there wasn't even much where you could move (apart from the fact that you didn't do anything there except watching videos).

There are other things as well (like reused skins everywhere) that made it feel "cheap" compared to all the other expansions and while I'm happy with what we got, I still think it shows.

I hope the next one will be more like HW and less like EW when it comes to zones and skins.

You are entitled to your opinion but that does not make it correct.

Nobody forced you to rush through the content in 14 hours. The release schedule is published in several places and everyone knew when the next content drop was.

The free set of 90 gear is actually needed in order to assist you gaining upgraded ilevel gear from duties which you will need in order to be able to access future content.

I am assuming you may have overlooked the content for DoH and DoL?

As the Yoshi-P says - it's fine to suspend your sub for a while and then come back.

2 weeks of MSQ + sidequests. 8 new dungeons. 4 new raids and their savage versions. 3 new trials and 2 extreme versions. And the many patches to follow. 12 new A ranks. 7 new S ranks. Loads of fates to grind. Lots of new and exciting mounts, minions and triple triad cards to grind that I am still grinding for right now. More raids, dungeons, story, relics and pvp to come.
