Is the game a litle bit too fast now?

Correction: only 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 were the ones that came in ~3months interval. The smaller ones between them have been quite frequent even in ARR - not this frequent, but frequent enough.

And yes, Alexander came two weeks after HW launch, and now we're four weeks after HW launch and Alex Savage is here - just like they said and showed on numerous occasions they had planned.

I do agree it's kinda insane though, like yeah hi you can get gear from Alex normal, but all in a weekly lock - and hey now esoterics gear is now here, also with a weekly cap but it's still gonna cause much less headache to collect and is apparently 10 ilvl higher than Alex normal....? Eh.

That's what I mean. I haven't compled i190 yet (under weekly lock) and now there's new gear? Why put a weekly lock if they giving better gear anyway?

The one job thing sucks too cause ive got an alt.

i200 and i210 will take longer to get than you think. It will take only 5 weeks to full outfit a class in 190 and 8+ weeks to full gear a class to i200 unless you are lucky with drops from Alex SV.

Before Heavensward, the numbered patches came at a 3 months interval roughly. It meant new quests, new instances, new gear and new tomestones. You had time to upgrade your mains, and even equip your alternative classes.
Now, Heavensward has not even been out officially for a month (official launch was the 23rd of june), and I feel I'm getting overwhelmed with the new upgrades.

Technically speaking, everything that's out right now is stuff that was "supposed" to be out as soon as HW launched. The only reason Alex was held back so that people could "take their time" and enjoy the storyline.
