Playing an expansion as current content has been a lacklustre MMO experience

[Atelier-Bagur]

I just want to point out that the game currently has over 112 hours of pure, raw cutscene. And that doesn't even take into consideration time spent talking to NPCs outside of cutscenes, doing basic fetch quests, travel from Cutscene 1 to Cutscene 2, job cutscenes, etc. Source: https://i.redd.it/463hl51ydqv91.png

So, story is story. You only go through it all once afterwards story patches are at least a few hours of narrative content at best and the rest is just whatever. This argument doesnt hold much merit when you consider that perspective.

Also cant dismiss that story is still content to a lot of people. Otherwise this game's design wouldve bombed a long time ago yet
