The only issue I have with their judgement is how things ended up with the example of diadem. They thought they did a good thing (and turns out it was more of just the same we already had ingame, but worse with rng). Tried it a second time, then closed it before opening it to just gathering (where it's actually not bad). That took how many years? THAT's what I'm worried about. They see how housing in ishgard does -- try to fix it-- screw it up again-- then finally just remove it before it stays as the foundation firmament route but with minions (island sanctuary). We finally have a fix in expansion 7.55
