Mind telling me your calculations? Did you count .55 as major patch?
2.0 was released in 27/8/2013, 6.4 in 23/5/2023, that's 3556 days.

Major patches are :
2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5,
3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5,
4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5,
5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5,
6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 = 28 patches

Average between each patch, including X.5 to Y.0, is 127 days. In-expansion patches have average of 118. This is of course, assuming that ChatGPT gave me right release dates and I didn't do mistakes:



Before someone gets the misconception that I'm demanding that devs hurry up or whatever, I'm just pointing out the fact that patches do take longer, even longer than they said they will, while quality is noticeably worse. Right now EW is at worse pace than even ShB's Covid pace for some reason, and content doesn't reflect the added time to it. The "they take more time to check everything is working" doesn't even apply, EW patches do lack QA, as we can see from numerous bugs EW had. I'm not trying to bring the game down, I just want to have back the better standards, instead of settling on mediocrity.
