Most complaints come from people who have already exhausted the current end-game content. Which is understandable, as none of the PvE additions will challenge them as much as Coil has. Hardcore end-game stuff is all that matters to some people, but there IS a lot of content coming. PvP should be fun, Treasure Hunts, Extreme mode Primals + Ultima, FC housing, more varied ways of levelling up and earning tomes, a gear bridge to assist with tackling Coil (though I suppose most hardcore aren't too fond of that idea). I can understand how a lot of that may be underwhelming to end-gamers, but there's a lot of fun to be had there...

Also once this patch has been and gone, there - no more "it should've been in 2.0", and from the teases we've had so far, 2.2 and 2.3 should be very satisfying for players of all content.
