How Allag fell. Basically the idea that a single Earthquake led to the collapse of a civilization (and yes, it had rot, don't get me wrong), and that all that tech was lost.

There had to be more. I like the idea that there was *some* Dynamis... or something like it. Even in the worst of the Roman civil wars, and the ensuing conquests of Rome, much if not all tech was preserved, contrary to what the term "Dark Ages" would tell you. It's just it became decentralized with lots of petty kingdoms.

Secondly, and more importantly, the timeline. We have literally taken multi month (?) ship rides, traveled all over the continent, fought a dozen if not more primals, rallied armies multiple times... and it's been like a year? I think 4-5 years, at minimum, should be expected- if not more. Not least with the formation of the Crystal Braves, the Doman War, Ul'Dah's reforms, and more.

At current each expac would be months and that just... doesn't fit. If anything taking "real world" time into in game would make sense to me.
