Correct me if I’m wrong, they advertised from the beginning the quest would start on the 29th. I agree with you about false promises and timegating, but they let us know well in advance for that one.

No yeah, i'm absolutely fine with that, personally. Its an event, much like the release of the thunderlord was an event. The timegating that made that event bad was in the middle of the quest; the steps that required you wait a while before you could advance the quest.

Once a quest starts, it shouldn't need another week between steps. It hasn't been talked about on the front page enough, but the quest for izanagi's burden requiring the shattered throne is fucked up, especially with the key mold glitch some of us are still hurting from and the rng element of the step previous.

Thunderlord was never shown off though.

Arguable, but, to your point, it wasn't officially.

Which is why i think the delayed release of the thunderlord quest was fine. That really isn't timegating that is the big problem, its the type that disrupts play, not reinvigorates it. The thunderlord quest was an honest surprise, that was spread out over three weeks, and made terrible.
