What does Heavensward actually bring to the table as an expansion?

[Magis]

I don't want to be all doom and gloom just yet because Heavensward is still early in the expansion, but a lot of people are right. Only thing heavensward really brought was leveling up to 60 and a baby raid that's only fun for about 1 day a week.

No offense, but I'd just like to point out that you (and a lot of people) are just shifting the goal posts with this comment. When people complained about 2.0, people said the exact same thing you are saying; "They had to rebuild the game", "they were rushing just to get it workable cause of 1.0", "wait till the expansion" and similar stuff. Well we are at the expansion, and it seems not only didn't SE change much or fix people's complaints (housing, boring content, etc), in some cases they made the game as bad or worse than 2.0 (back to two dungeons). I though we were suppose to go forward with expansions, not go back to square one.

Edit: and remember various live letters and interviews, Yoshi himself said that ARR was the "building back player trust" phase.
