I think folks just need to take a beat and recalibrate expectations with the end very likely in sight... And then we'll all return to our regularly scheduled predictions about the (very likely but not definitely so quite yet) final pack and what it'll entail.
And, TBH, I fully expect the "speculation community" to simply evolve from DLC discussion and split into new groups: (1) what we'd want to see in a sequel, and (2) focusing on/discussing mods. The latter will have to take place elsewhere unless the rules change but... It'll happen in some way, shape, or form. Either way it'll keep people interested in the game!
