The Mare Lamentorum was hailed as a completely new world for us to explore and yet it's as big as both areas of Uldah put together.

While most of the complaints look like to be over rather minor things blown way out of proportion and story being up to taste of course, this take about zones is just straight up bad. Size does not equal quality and the old giant areas with basically nothing of worth in it were terrible. Ruby sea is the worst offender at that, as a majority of the large open space in it doesnt even have fates happening. It's just water. There is no reason for ruby sea, western coerthas and dravanian hinterlands to be as large as they are.
