If every expansion were to have the same exact lackluster content longevity as Endwalker, we could all just wait until X.5 and get through all of it before the next expansion launch.

Now imagine everyone who was unhappy with the current expansion, waited to buy the expansion and subbed for several months then quit when the next expansion launched. How much profit do you think they would lose?

Now tell me. Is that something you would want to hinder the game's ability to improve? Because people like you completely ignore a dedicated part of the playerbase?
But you don't realize the time it take to develop games and content, as well as the people needed for it, you could get 10x the content we get now, but the subscription fee would then have to be 100 dollars per month.

If you look back in time old for old MMORPGs... they had similar cost per month... now 20 years+ later the subscription fee is more or less the same, but inflation and the likes has kicked in, so you are paying less than what you did in the past.

Mention any of the expansion that had a better span in time with the exception of 2.0 of course, due to that was re-building the game.

YOu did not get much more in HW, SB, SHB nor EW, you got some additional modes, and still as of games like this, it does not always round up around the max ilevel and the previous content is still worth playing as well.

As said before you will run into a drought, no matter what and the players is not ready to pay the increased subscription fee that is long over due.
