Plenty to do, plenty to see.
I guess right now for me, and maybe others - Is I feel a little trapped with these predatory systems, and it really sucks that I love the housing so much but just not feeling anything else right now.

Maybe the spark will come back eventually and I won't feel so bitter. But right now, these systems just make it feel worse than it should be.
SEE!?
That feeling RIGHT THERE that you described, is much more Healthy then this...Trapped feeling from FOMO and Predatory Systems...but the thing is its also self-inflicted.
I always feel the "Copium" response here, but Endwalker is probly just that 1 Bad Expansion right now...or maybe just like Shadowbringers people will actually look back on it and suddenly remember things they did like about it....but in the moment I can see and feel some of the issues people talk about.
Can always be better next Expansion. They "Should" definitely see the backlash in some areas, and the praise in others and always work to further improve.
Its not as easy as many think it is to balance everything perfectly all the time and address EVERYBODIES Wishes and Concerns.

But never know until we get there.
