I was going to watch it, but decided against it. I find most videos of this kind tend to just boil down to misdirects or have the whole "It's fine if you don't think about it much" message. I had a whole big thing written out here that I deleted because who cares. Point is, I think a lot of the harshness of the critique around EW stems from the concern players have that Dawntrail and beyond will just be a repeat of the same structure and formula. Not to say EW doesn't have it's issues. The longevity and fun-factor of a lot of it's additions are very underwhelming. I don't want a repeat of EW's structure, I want new ideas, and for them to take the best ideas they've had and build upon them in ways that grab me like I'm playing something for the first time again.
