I think the low population might be the most objective argument against further expansions.
No, the most objective argument is that Luclin and PoP were shit and killed the game world.

Nexus is really such a non issue I find it hilarious people include it. You do realize that nexus only provides transport between 5 zones, on a 15min recharge, meaning your trips typically have 15 minute travel time for a North Karana to Greater Faydark port.

Bazaar again incredible, sell while you sleep, pay and get what you want, never have to deal with low ballers, hagglers or resellers.
You have an extremely artificial notion of the game. PoK books ruin adventure and the feeling of the world, plus an aspect of social interaction. This isn't fucking Star-Trek-with-Raids. The game is supposed to be a LOTR-esque world. Nexus is a similar problem, although I'd be okay with an NPC Wizard teleporter at a few of the spires (North Karana, Faydark, Dreadlands) who teleports to a different spire every 10 minutes, with a level 30 requirement to use it and needing to pay something for it.

Bazaar cuts out social interaction. You're not supposed to be able to play the game while you sleep. The game isn't supposed to be about just going from fucking point A to point B and farming. It's supposed to place you in a world that is dangerous and alive, where you need to journey and engage in local communities. Not just solo hop all around the world, unless you are specifically a class with that ability who has gotten to a high enough level to do so.
