I like the story for what it is, as in tying up all the loose ends and bringing it all together finally. But so far the story has been the only redeeming factor for me. And I get it, we are all free to disagree or agree, this is just my take and I do not want to anyone to feel like : NO YOU HAVE TO AGREE. I just wanted to vent my feelings about this expansion thus far.

I will ignore the queues, that just happens.

What I cannot ignore are the other things. The dungeons and Trials i've seen so far are just a big scoop of MAH, they are not outright bad, but they are also not even good, like what an amazing letdown with all the bosses till lvl 89 dungeon.

The quest design really was getting on my nerves. Oh, here take those quests that have you run exactly to half points between aetheryte's so you cannot teleport to them.

I hate the Escort mechanic, its given to quests where it does not really make any sense, but its not given to quest where it does.

The zones are lackluster again, the only one I find remotely nice is Elpis the rest is again vast fields with some stuff dotted over the place, like seriously SE, if you compare any zone to the original AAR zones, they just feel "empty" without much of elevation changes and detail.[Compare the South Shroud to lets say Labyrinthos. (if you gonna make "field" zone, make it at least feel vast and amazing like you did with Azim steppe)]

The armor design is the biggest disappointment I had, I get it, making new armors is hard, but outright copying older sets is just lazy, AT LEAST you could add things to them and alter them, but no we just get a straight copy pasta (again)
