We're looking at a 2027 launch as most likely for 8.0, MSQ was poor, OC and CE were both cool but don't have reason to do it for over a month, OC's bonus's only really matter for forked tower and CE is the relic (It's achievement mount being a recolor is ridiculous). Still over a year and a half for the next expansion and people be bored, raiding (when it comes) can also keep a person entertained only so long. A content drought worse than Endwalker's is coming except this time the good wills gone.

8.0 would have to be basically like a 1.0 -> 2.0 level change at this point.
8.0 comes out next summer. 7.3 is August 2025, 7.4 is December 2025, 7.5 is April 2026, 8.0 launches June/July/August 2026. Do the math and count the 4 month gap between content.
