The whole game is optional. You don't have to play it at all. But we chose to. And we pay money for it. We pay the money for actual content instead of a relic grind that was thrown together in 10 minutes by an applicant. This expansion is over half an year old. And what has it to show for it? Content worth 2 weeks of playing at max level. And now they decide to bring on an "epic relic quest", that's little more than a selling point for bots.

The game has a lot of good things going for it. For one, most armour looks amazing. It's not simply a body point like in most MMOs. And it's not just there to show bare skin, but actually protecting your vital spots. I love that. I also love the character and world design. But there's just as much frustrating and ridiculous stuff going on. Lack of content might be the biggest issue. But it sure as hell is not the only one.
