And on top of things we've been dealing with stuff like removal of TP in ShB, the stat squish in EW, the graphics update, the DC visiting, and of course we can't forget the server crashes and login queues.

I just find people whinging and trying to bookkeep whether the content is "deficient" or not to be a lot of aimless nitpicking. Pick a couple things you want the devs to work on (that they actually *can* work on) and promote those ideas. Don't expect the content to be comparable from expansion to expansion--it never has been in ANY MMO.
Things were missing in ShB long before the pandemic even started though. The dungeon cut, deep dungeon, hildibrand, primal weapons, and voice acting were all confirmed cut before the pandemic came, and even when it did, the devs themselves stated they were working at 95% efficiency and that’s BEFORE they even took the what was it, 3-5 months to accommodate the loss of time due to the pandemic? I think when a game makes the most money and has attracted the most players it ever has, we should at the very least see the same amount of content. The fact we can’t even get things that we got 3 expansions ago now is beyond absurd. Some of the EW dungeon gear is dyable sure, but there are reused sets that they still couldn’t even make dyable, or even role swap them. We are in 2022 lmao. The game has made record breaking profits. SB gave us server travel and again, you didn’t see a cut in content. People have been picking things for the devs to work on for over SIX YEARS and they’ve been ignored by the current dev team. This is why i say it’s no wonder people want a change. I don’t see it as aimless nitpicking when we all pay to play the game. We’re all funding the game i expect to see peoples money going to the right place.
