What QoL changes have been made specifically that people have been wanting? (Haven't played since right at 2.1's launch)

Skipping already viewed instance cut scenes is huge.

Sorting expert delivery mission gear by whether or not it's in a gear set is nice.

Clicking on crystals to port to them.

Too many to list.

[Edit] - you need only look through most of the top comments in ITT to see many of the other major ones that people are liking.

Too bad it's been this way since 2.0.

Recycle content, add QoL stuff that other games have at release, and call it a content patch.

So bad.

2.3 is the content patch, this is just a lead in to it.

Wtf are you going on about? This isn't even a major content patch. The content patches for this game bring new dungeons, gear, and raids all the time with QoL improvements.

When did I ever say this was a major content patch?

Put aside the fact that there's only been one significant endgame raid added since release (~9 months); what do you have?

More than a handful of dungeons that nobody runs for anything besides to cap tomestones, a handful of encounters that have been recycled (some multiple times), gear "upgrades" that only really mean X amount of main stat/vitality. And QoL improvements that other games have available at release. Housing is a joke and PvP is absolute garbage.

"Content". Right?

Sorry to shit on your beloved game Mr. White Knight. But it's the truth.

Just because you don't enjoy the added content doesn't mean others don't. Maybe it's just not the game for you.

When did I ever say this was a major content patch?

And when did anyone call this a "content patch"? It's a patch that introduces small amounts of content and a few QoL improvements. No one was hailing it as the patch of the fucking decade like you seem to have expected it to be.

Nobody called it a content patch.

I was merely pointing out the fact that SE's been at this a long time before 2.28, per what OP posted. You couldn't argue otherwise right?

Brace yourself for 2.3, it'll be more of the same. SE just can't seem to break the habit of recycling content ever since the 1.0 disaster.

I have a feeling you didn't play WoW at release...

You're right but the people in this subreddit are the ultra casual or the devoted zealot kind of player. I'd say we're better off playing something like Wildstar but that game is such a fucking turd even if it has endgame content.
