It boils down to the expansions real end at a x.3 patch which we didn't get this time around. 2 patches to build up a new expansion is the norm and now we have 5 patches to build up a story so yeah its really feeling like filler because of that. Especially since we know where we are going but are rushing towards it while gaining as little information as possible. Thats how I feel. ARR was slow because it had to build up the entirety of the game so maybe its just arr all over again.
