The problem is criterion is a failure in terms of rewards. Relic grind is not a grind its basically Hildibrand story with tomestone dump. Deep dungeon doesnt do anything to shake up the norm in terms of content. Island sanctuary is a farming simulator that doesnt promote group content and people are hoping it helps with housing issues which so far it hasnt.

Most expansions we have had some sort of extra content---> Diadem, Eureka, Bozja.

Since we dont have that this expansion we are heavily dependent on savage and extreme content. And that is why this expansion feels flat.
