Based on the queue at launch and the queue now. They haven't.
Exactly this - a lot of people in the community seem to think this game is completely untouchable in it's quality and effort. There ARE other options out there that have some better systems and more innovation in their development than XIV, some that are worse. What a lot of people have touched on, and rightly so, is that atm there isn't any other major competition for XIV, which means the devs are getting lazy and allowing things to stagnate.

If this was/is Yoshi P's Magnum opus, I'd be really worried, I genuinelly feel like he's been hamstringed with this expansion. I refuse to believe the writers are the same that came from ShadowBringers and the way certain classes have been gutted really reeks to me of a rush job. Baring in mind they had a 6 month delay due to the magical mystery virus, I would have expected much more from the dev team.

We're getting less dungeons per expansion now, it was 18 in Heavensward total. It's been steadily dropping ever since.

Less UNIQUE gear sets (the morons will scream at me for this one, they really hate people bringing this up).

Less unique musical tracks. Almost all of EW's Story based music is a remix of the same EW theme with a slightly different tempo. Even the new raids only have one piece of music with the final raid a remix and NO second phase music.

It's just all around less content.
