Honestly, there are good reasons why content should be spaced out that are not "increases subscription time" - it helps fight choice paralysis, for example, or funnels a greater number of players in a singular direction, which means content is more populated, which also reduces queue times. The problem is not the spacing out of the content itself, its the amount of shelf life / play time the content has, the cadence of updates, and the variety of content offered.
When CS3 frontloads "one and done" kinda of content in an expansion, and plans to release longer shelf life content further back then of course people will feel like there is nothing to do. Releasing everything at once would bring different kinda issues really.
RIP Viper 28/06/2024 - 30/07/2024. It was a fun month.
It wouldnt be an issue if the content would last, but it isn't.Honestly, there are good reasons why content should be spaced out that are not "increases subscription time" - it helps fight choice paralysis, for example, or funnels a greater number of players in a singular direction, which means content is more populated, which also reduces queue times.

I dont see any reason delaying 10min-worthy quests to a later date. It gives an unpolished impression.

I mean... yes? I don't disagree with that notion. If the content would last, then we would not be having this discussion.
Current content cadence paired with content lifetime results in what we experience currently.
Releasing the finale to the Role Actions quest only now in January was... certainly a choice they made.
