I am legitimately curious to hear why this is a "lukewarm expansion cycle"

Like, what does this person actually want?

I did the cartoon shake head rub eyes thing at the thing where they were like we're very sorry but the patches are gonna come out every 4 months instead of 3.5 months, and it was worded as somehow a problem. YoshiP it's been almost a year since the last patch in WoW. Every 4 months for a new patch is absurd

They're just having a good time trolling and judging by people's responses they're doing a fine job of it.

I've played an embarrassingly large number of MMOs and FFXIV gets the most frequent content updates, and they're often more substantial than other games', too

That's what I figured because I simply don't know what else they could add. More PvP stuff? It's never really been a PvP focused game. More weird grindy/gated stuff a la WoW? lmao I'll eat broken glass instead, thanks

Especially where they're using the extra time to allow their team more breathing room to recover while they're also retooling the early experience with the end goal of making the story more single-player friendly (future-proofing for allowing it to be remain a main title entry regardless of the "mmo" part as well as being nice now for group-shy players), adding another race option, upgrading a decade or so's worth of graphical assets, all on top of providing the usual expansion content and preparing for the entire next expansion. I don't doubt that time is being used, even if we don't get a new diadem iteration this expansion.

It's telling that they're trying to warn people off from getting involved with the lefty board and instead funneling them to 4chan.

People can sometimes get a little defensive in this thread, but I have not been banned for my correct opinons on lalafels (they look stupid) so I I think this person is not being entirely honest.

They're doing ARR story dungeons next patch and they'll add more with later patches.

I think they said all 2.0 dungeons (so not 2.x dungeons like Snowcloak or Keeper of the Lake) will have them in 6.1, and then they'll add more in .x patches and have all of HW and SB MSQ dungeons trust-compatible by 7.0. They mentioned they'd have at least a few HW dungeons trust-compatible by 6.2

I actually wonder how the new CM and Prae are gonna work since they're being retooled into 4-player dungeons; Are they gonna show up in 5-6-7-8 roulette now? :ohdear:
