"It's too grindy and hard to get my weapon" for 4 xpacs and so now that it's "FINE, IS THIS TOO GRINDY???" it's not enough, but they also didn't have to go full scorched earth, so to speak.

They do need to find a balance though; I think Bozja was a great balance between grinding and having multiple ways to get item drops, but tbf, "more of the same" doesn't necessarily mean "it's going to be another 1500 tomes" (please don't prove me wrong devs, I would also like something else, especially when the talk of EW relics was "it'll be more like the ARR relic in terms of getting it" had me interested in the how) but... we'll see in 3-ish months I suppose. Talking about it so early is just going to get people speculating for much too long about the how and why of what it's going to be, and people are only going to get more angry about it despite not knowing anything but something vague.
Bozja was great during it's peak. Late in the expansion after people were phasing out and especially now if people want to go back and grind it, it's a pain the ass and extremely difficult since it relied on others. These exploration zones would probably be better if every activity within could be done solo in every possible way.
