So I can see they are doing a bit more than usual and because they are doing so, issues are going to happen.

Things don't break when people dont change them, but if anything thats an argument encouraging them to leave stuff as is instead of trying.

All that being said the content droughts are hitting pretty hard imo.

That's the thing with guaranteed drops. Content ends faster. That's one reason why stuff in older MMOs lasted so long. It took months/years to obtain gear. Not because the content was particularly difficult or long lived, but because you had fractions of a percent chance to get the item you wanted. Sure, not having increased ilvls every other patch helps make that a possibility, since no one in their right mind would spend months grinding an item that's obsolete the next day because a new patch just dropped, but I never enjoyed the old MMO rng style of things, and I played Lineage II over XI lol.
