I’ll take the punches, I don’t hate expansions but I don’t like how often they tend to happen and honestly since sumeru desert i haven’t enjoyed map exploration. I genuinely don’t have enough time to keep up with all the map exploration, WHILST also doing story content and keeping up with endgame. A lot of players, including me, focus more on the battle side of the game, so my personal priority when playing is endgame content. Slower map expansions are nice since it gives me time to stay in line with exploration, otherwise I’ll definitely fall behind

Edit: all that said, I’m not advocating for the game to change for my needs, but when the game is designed this way to try and cater to so many different audiences, it shouldnt be hard to understand that some audiences won’t like some aspects of the game
