    As someone who doesn't really engage in high end content in the form of Ultimates and Savage, I was more or less looking forward to some form of relic grind to keep myself busy for the time being.

    While it's nice to have a gear upgrade for essentially not doing anything (already had the tomes with me), I'm left with the feeling there's nothing else to do I'm really interested in.

    I was hoping the Island Sanctuary would've filled that casual and time wasting aspect, but it ended up being a glorified retainer venture you check once a week once you have the buildings set up.

    I was taking a break when the Criterion Dungeon released, and was surprised to hear that it had a shorter lifespan than Lord of Verminion (it's hearsay, I don't know if that was actually the case or not, lol.)

    Resubbed recently to keep my house, and to check if they had added anything interesting. I was a bit disappointed when I felt I was out of things to do after an hour or so of logging in after a several months break.

    And yeah, maybe it's on me. I've been around since the ARR Beta, and the game has always had this predictable content formula over the years. However, this is the first time I've felt little reason to play at all. Maybe that says more about me than about the game. I'm mostly talking from my subjective experience.

    I'm a little sad that one of the few activities I enjoyed doing was essentially scrapped and reduced to what we have now. I'll probably end up capping the Omnicron and Loporrit Beast Tribes before calling it quits. Never was too interested in Palace of the Dead content.

    The only thing holding my interest right now is my house, but I'm willing to let that go if 7.0 continues the trend. More power to the people that enjoy this, though. I think it's natural for older players to move on to different games as new ones come in.

    Been playing since 1.0 beta and this is exactly how I feel. Only thing keeping me around now is my friends in game. Its just getting too watered down to justify spending money on this monthly. This expac has largely felt like a free to play experience for me
