I'll be playing the game regardless of what happens because I won't be playing it as 90% of the players will, take my time without guides to hold my hand. That said, you are naive if you think the game will be released like that.
The game will have QoL changes. Flightpaths, group maker and changes to unviable class trees are things I'm very confident about that will be in there. It's amusing to see people think it will just be a patch selection and be done with it.
