It's literally the opposite. We have like weeks left in current iteration and I already don't know what to do with AA. I even bought griffon skin even though I don't own griffon and don't want to do it.

And what population have you expected to see ? I started to play 5 years ago and core maps ( aside maybe from Orr ) never had many ppl there. As for your experience - here is mine. Recently I played on my lvl 70 or so asura elementalist and while running from story point A to story point B I decided to stop and participate in random bridge defence event in Lornar Pass. And you know what ? In 1-2 minutes 2 people joined me and we had 3 ppl doing useless event with trash rewards in 11y.o game on core map. I think this is pretty much incredible. But you do you I guess.

I am conflicted on this. I did one gift of battle ( for Bifrost from leg box but decided not to make it in the end ) it took me a whole day ( not a most efficient approach or time usage I know ) and it was not that horrible. I even enjoyed some of the battles. So on the one hand I was kinda forced into activity I don't like but on the other hand I wouldn't want Li to be moved from raids into VW or WvW. So I guess it should stay as it is.

Yes-yes , aside from Storm's weapons still being 17g for 1 meta. But dunno why I even bother...

Tangled Depths is the best map this game has to offer. Don't lump it together with New Kaineng

I mean why bother with motivations if raid armour is 100 times easier and more fun to get ?

Not really. There are certain OBJECTIVE criteria that can be applied to any piece of media or entertainment Like story flow , character dynamics , underlying idea , technical details ( camera angles , light and so on ) For example Terminator 2 is OBJECTIVELY good movie ( regardless of your opinion ) just like Tremors 5 is OBJECTIVELY mediocre at best ( even though I like it )

I appreciate the attempt but your underlying premise is completely wrong because according to it every game that exists is bad because it doesn't allow me to play rainbow elephant with 8 legs and giant wings. You can consider WV "not as good" as previous system. But it certainly not "bad".

There is always people complaining about any change as I said. It's not an objective metric. For example I keep complaining that forcing elementalist to play with melee weapons is bad design because I want to get my classic wizard fantasy. But I don't think it makes elementalist class design objectively bad.

It's an MMO. Here people will complain and quit because of ANY changes. Objectively Wizard Vault is not a bad design choice by any means. Also they did listened to feedback and added 5th option to daily tasks so we can skip now those stupid mini dungeons. Oh common , stop pretending like people are quitting en masse because of WV or something.

1 core map with daily events was replaced by many maps with weekly rifts. Orr was packed the over day - people were doing temples. So I am failing to see how new expansion made it worse for core maps

I failed maybe 2 times total "never" seen it succeed ? Cmon this has to be a bait or troll post Also DE is the only one meta that can be at least somewhat challenging. Leave it as it is.

I didn't get a single high roll in 5y. No teq horde , no drakkar horde , obviously no infusions , nothing at all. And watching how teapot got his 3d frostsaw made me salty yes : )

Not doing anything is better if everything is going fine. In that situation comm didn't offer any useful advice or made necessary steps to compete content. They just acted like a kitten.

Nah , wispering and saying " I shouldn't say I'm dps when my dps is lower than some alac in the group" is 100% toxic behaviour and there is no justification for that.
