I don't think it's that bad honestly considering most of the endgame content will be released just a month after launch. I'm a little charitable in that regard given COVID and stuff. I'm actually not at the end of the game yet with 80 hours in it (which to be fair, includes a few AFK hours and a lot of hours helping lower rank HR friends that don't really contribute to my grind total). I kind of think it was worse in World because that update took 2 months to release, and I just found the game less interesting, so I technically didn't even do any of the real endgame by the time I got to it in World because I was disinterested. 

But yea, it sucks, they should have probably pushed it back a few months, but I don't really mind how it's launched. I know someone who basically sped through the game, and even then he's putting a lot more time into it. And the update is coming out in like a week or two, so. 

I get what you are saying, and I dont disagree.  But yeah, maybe they should've pushed the game 2-3 months so that some of the upcoming updates would've been available at launch.  Im probably just gonna stick around playing online, which is a blast. 2.0 update comes in just a couple of day anyway. 

I'm pretty sure everything after the summer update, and maybe even a large portion of the summer update, will be stuff not meant at launch anyways, since there was always going to be some post-launch support. But yea, the "real ending" in summer and the elder dragons that come along with it as well as the last april update were launch planned initially most likely. Which, sucks. You don't want a game to have about 2/3 (possibly more than 3 updates to come though) be stuff initially planned at launch. At the very least, we might get two updates at about the same rate as World got 1, give or take a month, which is nice. 

I actually knew about this for like 2 weeks before the game came out since it was leaked. Which honestly was good, it helped me temper my expectations. But honestly it's kind of funny, I worried I'd run out of stuff to do before the end of April and I'm not realizing how unrealistic that expectation was
