Where is the gameplay?

[Voidmage]

I've played since Heavensward and the last time I remember them actually doing something cool was either in Heavensward or Stormblood when there was an old school style dungeon crawler where you talked to NPCs that represented the devs. They've been phoning it in on events since Shadowbringers, which means they've been slacking on them for 3 expansions.

I don’t disagree that they are slacking but I absolutely do with the stance that all this was always like that.

The Papa Gruff and Halloween dungeon also was not in Stormblood but later as far as I remember.

They HAVE done better in the past that’s what I am saying because I am absolutely annoyed in that whole “eh, was always like that” take.

We should expect quality and not defend that stuff with apathy. That’s the entire reason I post here because I KNOW they can do better and if people would stop responding to trolls and end their little infighting here there might actually be a chance to have more structured threads like the “live letter and what we wish from it” one.
Maybe then it would all amount to more than playing don quijote.
