While I agree that it's silly to write off the whole expansion based on just the story, it's not like a lot of other things in this expansion aren't pretty dire either. The levelling experience is still really boring, with the same "talk to 3 people" quests and silly fetch quests all over the place (and a couple of escort and sneak quests that many people hate). The zones, while beautiful, still don't have much to do in them. Fates are still all the same "kill X amount of Y" nonsense that don't scale properly. Jobs are more homogenised and boring (especially healers and tanks) than they've been in a long time. Glamour gets more annoying with every job that gets added due to not having enough Plates or inventory space, And in general everything is just more of the same predictable things with zero surprises that we've had for a decade now.

The only big positive thing I've seen people mention is that the instanced content (raids, dungeons, Extremes) are better than they've been for quite some time. Which is great but it's far from "the rest of the game".
