There has not been a single major patch without a critical issue since Endwalker.

I gave several examples of things SE could implement that would distract a lot of the audience until 6.25

a lot =/= everyone, (which is what you wished for, content for everyone). i still play CC (only a few matches a week but heck, an hour a week still means more "excitement for my money" than pretty much everything else i could buy for 13 euros.) you mentioned how great pet battles were in wow okay, i and many others couldn't have cared less for them back than. its great that was something for you, but again this is not for everyone. for me ? pet battles in wow allways sucked for me, never felt any fun doing them. now in final i do treasure maps twice a week, i also still level classes and grind for money just because i like having spare gil, and before mahjsoul took off in the west i actually used ffxiv to play mahjong cause it was pretty much the easiest way to get some form of english speaking mahjong client.

i get it, the one big feature of 6.1 fell short for you, for understandable reasons at that and that sucks, but "wow pet battles" aren't superior to cc or doing treasure maps twice a week just because you in particular like them more. CC did distract a lot of the audience for a good while, and so do other things. you (and with you i mean the whole "the sky is falling" crew) need to stop acting like the game offers nothing to do because you find nothing that keeps you engaged. maybe the game offers nothing for you, and if thats so than that sucks, but this isn't a zero sum game. for every feature you personally would like more compared to things we actually got someone else would prefer what we got now instead of "wow pet battles".

i mean no offense to you btw even if the thing about the sky falling may sound like that, i get wanting something to do, i get having attachment to a product and wanting it to do better and i get being unhappy with the way things are. BUT and everyone needs to admit to themselves this one simple fact, if square actually gave you one of those things that you think would help solve the issues you have than something else would need to be put on the backburner in exchange, and that will also piss off people, just another group of people in that case.
