This game is HUGE and the expansions only make it an even bigger game. For the first few hours the game is mind blowing and it can be very overwhelming for newer players especially with how useless quest markers can be when travelling from place to place. Multiple areas means many maps and markers on one map will bring you to that map's port to go to the marker's location or an area that leads to the real area. It makes getting around tedious until you unlock all wayshrines. The game is enjoyable and tons and tons of quests with many classes and playstyles means hundreds possibly thousands of hours to be used on this game. One problem I do have with the game is how stupid the craft bag mechanic is. Crafting and everyday life is very difficult without the bag but I don't see the point in paying a monthly fee. If they would release it to buy as a permanent feature like dlc instead of keeping it locked away behind a monthly paywall it would make the game much less tedious for those who like crafting. I have seen posts of people who literally stopped playing the game because they didn't want to pay for the monthly fee but could not play without the craft bag. At 20 bucks for the ridiculously large base game and all expansions it is more than worth it if you need something to keep you busy.
