    I'm going to be real, I don't think this content is great.

    I had already tempered my expectations based on prior content thoroughly disappointing me, but I just feel like this wasn't well thought out.

    - My biggest gripe is that aspects of the content don't have a cap (the moon base phases), thus have already been completed on certain servers, and so if you wanted to get involved in that you now can't. I was lucky enough to play earlier than most, but I feel sad for those that won't get the chance to participate in the larger scale community activities.

    - The Cosmoliner... while (marginally) better than running around the entire map by foot, I would have just much rathered be allowed to ride my mount. Traversal is annoying and not being allowed to ride your mount there is actually mind boggling to me.

    - The FATES are subpar, uncreative and don't take you out of the monotony of the regular gameplay at all (which is what I consider FATES purpose to be).

    - Gathering massively suffers due to the traversal issues stated above and the fact GP does not restore after each mission.

    - The gameplay itself is fine, I do like grindy gameplay, it's something that you would just flick youtube on the side and do, but that's all it is, just a glorified leve grind, that can be quite difficult without sinking a ton of money into gear (I'm still using 7.0 penta gear and having a hard time passing A rank missions) without anything noteworthy at the end to make up for it, besides cosmetic items which will reduce in price very quickly.

    One thing to note the game doesn’t tell you very clearly is that often you can cheese a rank requirements by crafting more than the game actually wants you to craft. This ups your score if you can’t cap in the “suggested” amount of crafts

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
