SE enough of the treadmill, please make the game more interesting!

This is the usual problem there is with every MMO...

People want horizontal progression, but if they made that, I'm certain people would complain about there being no reason to gear up or something along those lines...

In a themepark MMO, it usually just comes down to the amount of content the developers put out, and while the amount of content SE brings us is decent, they bring us the wrong content... A major patch every 3 months is okay(like they said it would be), but it has actually been like 4 months between them all, and every other patch makes no sense in the progression of the game. I'm not a hardcore player, and I see a use for Crystal Tower, but with how the weekly cap for tomes work, every player(however casual you are) will be able to have full gear from those tomes, so the gear isn't really that important... It all comes down to items to upgrade your gear, which is nice, but a whole 4 months wait to get something that already exists in the game? (much easier mind)

Instead of releasing crystal tower like raids every other patch, they should use that development to make the game a little more horizontal (not too much though), and offer something new and challenging for the more hardcore players, but still appeal to less hardcore players. And it should only be 3 months between patches... Then it would be fine

EDIT: In fact, if they struggle to make content for both hardcore and casual players (and they don't have resources to make more content), they could just make an extreme version or something of the content they release (not 24 man raids, oh god...), which would make it much easier for them, and they could release relevant gear for hardcore players. Could even make something new that you put on your gear to get a special attribute or something. Also, I don't want 24 man raids ever... Makes everything feel meaningless and chaotic.
