This post is simply misleading in a lot of ways.

First and foremost, those images you posted supporting your "thesis" are actually the sign that there isnt anything to do in game left except this grindfest.
Which also bring us to point 2. When you dont offer anything people will just adapt and be FORCED (which isnt what you would want to do as a game company) to do what you threw at them.
Now this happened the same with 1.0. Where people was telling them "hey SE, this isnt really going well, wake up?" They kept sleeping, we had the same amount of white knights on the forums which accepted EVERYTHING they got thrown at. And that didnt go well.

Now if they have to learn something from the past, its right infront of your eyes. Of course people do the relic quest, but that is because they have no alternatives. Also there are people that have subbed or 6 months, like me, so either they play or not, doesnt really matter. But in the end what matters is the continue disappointing of your userbase, that shouldnt be underestimated. It will end up like 1.0, and many other games. You keep frustrating people, everybody has a limit, i am personally on the edge of not renewing anything, and for sure if they dont show me something solid that is worth the money i throw at this game, i wont sub anymore.

People complain and whine like a cycle, but they still play, but then, after eating all this crap all over, eventually they get full, thats when you lose the userbase. Now you are basically hoping and throwing the dices that the userbase isnt fed up enough with the lack of content, lack of creativity, slow development, poor planning, total overlooking of problems, lots of shortcomings by SE? Well.. good luck to you and SE. I am pretty sure that if you keep throwing fuel to the fire, it will eventually blow up.
