Yea, I remember that (the exploratory zone), though I am betting we would need to wait till patch content, so... I don't know.. 18+ (more??) months away? The V/C stuff, I just don't think that's long term engaging content. To me, it's just dungeon runs, that you do a few times. Once you have what you want, which could be just 12 runs to get the mount, there's just feels like no longevity or reason to go back. Even releasing multiple, there's just no reason to re-do the prior ones. And, so far, there's nothing linking them together in an over-arching way. There's nothing for crafters/gatherers (its not like you need either to do IS).
For me, I just wish they had made Garlemald an exploratory zone and given us a Diadem 2.0 (somewhere new). Why is the Garlemald restoration happening off screen? And I don't think it's valid to say, well, its not like they had Firmament for HW. No, but EW isn't their 1st expansion either.
