I dont think there is a single game out there that doesn't eventually fall into "business-as-usual". It happens. What matters is, are you still entertained and willing to play?
And in this case, continue to Pay to Play?
For me and Im sure many others, that is a yes. That shouldn't be discounted just like the opposite side shouldn't be.
So far I am satisfied and loving my time in the game. I dont fault or think less of anybody who may disagree, and not like or be happy with the current content, or arnt getting what they want. My mindset is we have yet to see Everything this expansion has to offer. Stormblood also had a slow start, but post-game and future patch content turned out to be awesome. Endwalker still has potential to do the same.
