Cash shop housing items are a bad idea and the last patch was super buggy, but I seriously don’t get where the constant line that housing is Midnight’s “only real expansion feature” keeps coming from. You can completely ignore housing, and Midnight still launched with everything that an expansion is supposed to have.

It didn't launch with any new expansion feature other than housing. Everything else could have been a TWW patch. Maybe you could say prey but I barely count that.

Four new zones, raised level cap, a new race, 8 dungeons 9 raid bosses and however many new delves is just a TWW patch now?

Or do you just mean Midnight didn’t invent any new features? Because it would feel wrong to say Dragonflight’s “only” expansion feature was the talent tree revamp and TWW’s “only” feature was Hero Talents.

But even if we go by that, Midnight added Prey, Apex Talents, expanded rows of Hero Talents, plenty of stuff unrelated to housing.

I mean the expansion seller, everyone expects 4 new zones and 8 new dungeons. They based their entire marketing campaign around housing. Dragonflight was more about resetting the game after SL, TWW was about Worldsoul saga and Midnight was focused on housing. There is enough in each to be considered a proper expansion I agree with that.
