Expected more lukewarm take from her. I was pleasantly surprised that she admits that tome dump isn't very exciting and that "just take a break" isn't solution.

What sticked out from me was the comment from chatter: "this expansion been very safe while being experimental"

V&C was great new thing - but it didn't even provide savage equivalent rewards, new reward system or any meaningful rewards for that matter. This single problem caused whole content to die in a week.
Savage loot got some small book nerfs - but it's still locked until .18/.38 without any core changes, even though we have 19 jobs at this point.
No changes in AR, dungeon, or trial formulas
IS is something brand new - but it's nearly completely disconnected from the rest of the game, alongside other problems with it's design
EO is, well, a DD, nothing new or experimental here
But the best experiment was lack of exploratory zone. Hopefully result of this experiment will be that every single expansion from now on will have strong focus on them.
