I'll agree with that. Despite that, I also can understand that people who are playing the game would consider any exp/sp fix that actually resolves the issue they have with it to be a fairly major update, since it's one of the most complained about things in the game for those who battle. I don't battle much, I'm more of a synth junky at the moment.

As for 1.16 being significant or not, I would say that largely will come down to how many miniquests they actually put in. The big thing for me in the game is the lack of things to do, and I think miniquests is what I personally felt was missing most once I got to around rank 15. I just wanted something to waste my time on that actually felt like there was a reason to it. Guildleves don't give you any real interaction with NPCs at all, at least not enough to suit my tastes.
