Besides, it seems like most players are interested only in moving forward with new content and aren't willing to sacrifice the speed at which they receive new content if it means looking at older content.
It wouldn't be bad if they actually tried to future proof it. The problem with most of the aftermentioned content is that you require interest from other players to be able to engage with it. I started playing this game 4 months ago and it's sad I might never be able to finish the stories of Eureka and Bozja because I committed the crime of joining in "too late", same with pre EW Extreme and Savage content. And no, just using PF isn't a solution, you have to sit for hours waiting for people who may abandon before more join, while you're unable to do solo progress because you're in a party.

This is the same issue that made me leave Gw2. Arenanet (the devs) have a tendency to introduce new systems every expansion that usually require the involvement of many players, only to abandon them and make it impossible for newer players to complete. People often told me XIV was the mmo where even old content was still relevant but it's no different.
