-Recruiting the KT/Zanda would have been better lead in stories for this expansion IMO…for both us and the developers. They should have started with one to two months worth of questing and pre expansion stuff; basically us setting our foothold in the main towns, meeting these people, remembering them and having various flashbacks from people’s point’s of views. Maybe some early profession stuff and early xp.
-This would have easily bought them a good 2-4 months where no one would have complained about time gates because we would have been leveling our new allied races, running alts through prequests/catch up…etc… The quest process taking as long as the rep grind in the end just being done in a more logical and fun way for the players but also giving Devs breathing room.
They coulda used that time to work on bugs and/or polish the expansion/az system before it they became problems…
Instead we got a full expansion based around maximizing the amt of money they can bring in by time gating the only decent features they could come up with.
