Do we really need a new hyper advanced civilization in every expansion now?

I do think it kinda cheapens the world building.
"Garlemald is the most civilization ever!"
"Allag was the most advanced civilization ever!"
"The Ancients/Omicrons were the most civilization ever!"

I think on some cases- like the Ancients or the Omicrons- it's justified and flows well with the story/lore. But I felt Alexandria being compared to Allag (sometimes in terms of relative superiority) felt a bit tired.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Garlemald too! And Alexandria being compared to Allag and Sphene basically being an Ascian. Why didn't they just make it another Allagan city or tied to the Ancients and made Sphene an Ancient when they're basically almost identical already? Just feels pointless adding all these new concepts with souls being harvested and all this AI nonsense when they're basically just the Ascians again but with a different name.
