Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[Shurrikhan]

My complaint is more it's suddenly a problem when it hasn't been before AND that people point to the before as bastions of content. EW is effectively ShB 2.0, yet many praised ShB and condemn EW. For having roughly the same amount of content. And highly praise SB. For having roughly the same amount of content.

If they were condemning ShB and SB, that would make more sense.

But it hasn't been treated as a "sudden" problem in terms of being novel in its type, only in its extent. It's more a 'straw that breaks the camel's back' situation, not a complaint over straw itself.

You'll find complaints about "overly safe" or "unambitious" roadmapping as far back as Stormblood.
