You know they aren't good in that, and they are forced to adjust some of the other older content out of sheer gaps in logic at times, i.e. making Crystal Tower mandatory during Shadowbringer.

What gap in logic was that?

The story moved on until the events of the Crystal Tower plotline, which previously could be kept optional, absolutely had to be integrated into the main story so they could write what they wanted to add next.

The circumstances changed, but there was nothing wrong with the raid being optional at the time they made it.

Which is exactly my point. They do not future-proof such things on the long run, and suddenly players need to perform mandatory extra jumps through hoops since it is in conflict with the Main Story.

For anything else that is not Main Story related, it's just - 'Eh, eventually. Maybe. Perhaps.' Like the mess with the Hrothgar and Viera they are still working on, years later.
