Linear, linear, linear

[R041]

Lets face it, the linearity didnt start with EW. Its started as soon as the game went to Heveansward

I'M GONNA SAY IT.. Heavensward sucked

*braces for impact*

Okay, not because it's a bad story. But because I think it being an expac garnered general attention and praise as the community itself grew, so CBU:III took that as the expac design being good. Then we kept boiling everything down as sub-versions of Heavensward. This is kinda also where they went "How can we be more different from WoW?" and it almost seemed like they were changing shit just to change shit regardless of it being good or bad.

Basically Heavensward is to ARR as ARR was to 1.0. We can argue the specifics, but we know that's basically true.

It has a lot of pros to me, but that came with a ton of cons too. :/
