SE, no effort anywhere lately.

I have a dreaded feeling that 7.0 is still at least 2 years away. Probably releasing at like mid-2025.

If it's two years away this game will die to another MMO taking over.

if no delay

That's the kicker.

1 new corridor (dungeon) every 4.5 months.
1 raid every 4.5 months.
1 hour of 90% non voiced content.
45 minutes of MSQ.
Worthless updates like here get some 10 potency on X Skill meanwhile other jobs gets -10.
New maps or skills? Are you crazy? Wait for another 3 years thats gonna be 40 usd for the new "expansion".

Granted there is some partial hyperbole in this post it’s more than what you’re saying.
1 dungeon granted true but is technically 2/3 if we want to count variant dungeons which are releasing in 6.4 and 6.5 also criterion they are still dungeons that have more boss fights and multiple routes so take that what we will.
1 big raid and 1 set of 4 bosses which is more than most mmos except wow but then 14 bosses are more involved (for the most part than what wow others)
Your non voiced and MSQ side contradict each other; I have grown up on non voiced games and I really don’t care if it is or isn’t voiced. We technically get more voiced dialogue now then ever it’s just now there is so much more writing it seems about the same in comparison.
We got a new map it’s island sanctuary (granted not what everyone wants) and the last 2 expansions did give new maps gave eureka and bozja. New skills we don’t need and no mmo does that within patch cycles to my knowledge, wow, eso, new world, gw2 in between expansions don’t provide new skills it’s more new systems to interact with.

Im not sure what you deem value but the price of an expansion and for what you get is worth it I feel.
New levels and skills and usually 2 new classes on top of reworks of others
40-60 hours of story content
6 new zones
6 story tied dungeons 2 additional
3 trial bosses
1-2 weeks later the first 4 raid bosses
New mounts, minions, hunts, gear, collectibles etc
And more with QoL

By all means to me for £32.99 which is what it costs me here I’ve paid that for games with a fraction the playtime. Even if we compare it to say ESO which is the same cost for their ‘chapters’ you get far far less content. Im not by all means defending the game and there is a lot I would change or introduce but the content release is generally up there as the most per your money.

Island Sanctuary a new Map ... rofl. That Spot is so small, there is nothing to explore, to see, it is so boring and sad that my ass doesn't even care to move there anymore.

Mounts, Minions, 0815 Glamour Items are no Content. Those are things you get 1 time, have fun with it for a second and then move on.

The MSQ since Endwalker was 0815, just boring. Endwalker alone was the worst Story ever but the Things that came after was not even better.

Zero: I hate Zenos, UHOH I hate him soooooooooo much
4 Fiends: I'm gonna Kill you ...
Golbez: Soon my Dream comes true ...
The 12: Here we are Let's Go... we have some boring Story and now fight us ...
The 13th Shard: Troja pretty nice, cool Gear ... that's all.
Graha Tia: Please promise me .... *Kicks in his Teeths...*
Pandemonium: A Woman named Athena did something bad ... Lahabrea became crazy ... Elidibus had to intervene and call us for help...
Did I forgot something? If yes then cause it was so 0815 that it was not even worth to remember.

Good for you, but most of us don't have such a low standards, especially from a game that is most known for its story.

Except WoW has m+ which is repeatable fun content.

NO IT IS NOT.
I've been in Shadowlands and doing you 10 (later 8) +15 runs each week just to be disappointed with Great Vault results is anything but fun.
Also before you come at me with varied affixes in M+ I can tell you this: They feel more like punishments for some classes rather than interesting challenges.
If there was a Necrotic affix then all Blood Death Knights simply didn't do M+ that week.
Not that they were doing in 9.0 much because you either took Veng DH tank or you just gimped yourself.

I mean couldn’t the same be said to you that I could say good for you and that most of us aren’t bothered if it’s all voiced or not. We would both need to provide census data to back our claims but I’m going off of my opinion not a consensus. Which yours will be wildly off the mark, eso fully voiced albeit much worse dialogue and very repetitious voice actor usage it’s like the same 15 people doing all the voices. A game can be known for its story doesn’t mean voice acting has to be w thing. I’m sure attention spans have whittled over the years but that’s not a dig at yourself more the people of today. I’m sure there are more people who are in my camp than yours and that’s just me spit balling. But like I said I’m all for more I’m just fine with what’s there.

I was just making an example is all when it comes to map given in a patch. If they nail the island sanctuary expansion in 6.4 which is a new area as well and it’s core features then great if they don’t nail it il be in your camp of opinion. Also yeah mounts and minions are 1 time items but they are tied to the content… you have to interact with the content to get it. If you want to get the mounts and minions from island sanctuary faster you have to utilise the workshops for instance. You want those tank mounts you got to tank more… you have to partake in aspects of the game.

My question for you is what would be deemed content? Content in itself is such a broad term everyones view on the term will be different.
