Same will happen here - there will be some great new content to accompany the bug fixes and people can stop pretending that there's nothing new happening this year.
I actually am one of the few who enjoy all the Erebor raids. I don't really consider them raids, though - not really. They are a bit thin in that regard. But they are enjoyable to me. You should try the Fires of Smaug - that one is actually the best of the 3.
You and I must be looking at different forums and talking to different people - I look but don't see how happy people are with the changes. I see actually more and more people UNhappy with the changes, even those who originally thought they would prove to be good. Turbine also stated during beta they expected the forums to erupt for 2 weeks and then settle down, which I haven't seen happen either.
You are one of the few that enjoyed all the Erebor raids. They were not really raids, we agree on that, because they were thin. I did try Fires of Smaug and we used to farm it 2-3 times a raid night at T2c in less than 20 minutes. But there was no progression, no real sense of accomplishment like there was when you finished the last boss of BG on original level or DN on level. It was very lacking in that regard and extremely easy to get through compared to raids in previous expansions.
If by doing more than fixing bugs you mean possible housing changes, new areas without instances or raids so basically no point in going through them....yes. But for those who like group content we were let down with HD and we're not even getting a bone for the foreseeable future.
I'd explain it to you, but I'm all out of Puppets and Crayons.
