Ah, I kinda realized thats what you meant after making my post. 
I dunno, maybe it was retarded in other eras and we're just less familiar with the intricate details. I bet it was at least especially retarded during the end days of previous empires too.

Did you see the Genshin ad I sent you? I think its funny that Mihoyo's advertisement team doesn't really feel the need to even show anything other than just "There's a new area." Its like they're not even trying to bring in new players, just bring back people who have already played before.
