I thought it was disappointing, but not awful. Not far from ARR post-patch level, but even that had some decent moments, to be fair.

I think what pisses people off more is that this is where the new story arc's momentum will have to build off of, giving it decently high stake for situating something interesting (even if not a great need for any immediate urgency into that new arc), and they wanted to see something far, far better than ARR from whatever experience was gleaned over the expansions since. To many, there was an awful lot of wasted potential, or silly missteps with disproportionate cost.
