endwalker seen as low point?

[Shurrikhan]

Endwalker being a low point implies that its the worst expansion. I brought up a worse expansion.

Please, explain how that's whataboutism. I'll wait.

I mean, if your answer to "This is a low point" is "There has been at least one lower point before"... how is that not a "whataboutism"?

<< "This guy's pretty awful."

>> "Sure, but he's no Columbus/Hitler."

<< "This expansion seems to me to have trended negatively in certain key aspects (story, job design, etc.) that make me feel it has marked a downward turn in overall design."

>> "Sure, but ARR was worse."

...How would the one be a whataboutism, and not the other?

For my part, I don't really see the point in on-the-whole evaluations anyways (I'd rather talk specifically and separately about story, content pacing, content variety, job design, encounter design, etc.), but to point at something worse from the past just to dismiss critiques about the present is pretty obviously the opposite of anything constructive.

Your opinion is the low point of this forum.
