4.5 month patch release is NOT a problem

All content in the game has only ever lasted 5-20 minutes per attempt.

This is because the game is a pick-and-mix:


That is how it's designed, always was designed and probably always will be. And that is why everything will always last 5-20 minutes:



That is a job listing from 2022. That is my point. It's not copium, and I'm not saying there can't be more content, I'm just saying some people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the game. It could last longer than 20mins, but they intentionally ask their designers to restrict it to this timeframe.

This is because all of these things are a lot more practical to assess at a pre-interview, or interview, versus asking someone to design something like Exploratory content, relics, or 8-man encounters, which isn't practical to assess in the timeframe of an interview. This just gives an idea of their core competencies and isn't really indicative of much beyond that.

Also, all of these listed in your pick-and-mix screenshot are just core content released expansion-by-expansion and patch-by-patch, it isn't the content such as exploratory content, relic progression, HoH or even stuff like Island Sanctuary which is their 'new feature' list for each expansion.

You are trying to infer way too many internal things based on a job spec, there's still senior positions, or content they may learn to develop on the job.
