Very much this. The zone just feels like pasted together nonsense that Verant threw out there to keep high level guilds busy until Kunark. Yeah a cool idea, floaty islands in the sky where you have to work through each level, and the first times you do it the challenge of each level might seem novel, but it's ultimately too artificial and an unnecessary time sink that doesn't provide interesting gameplay. It's especially tedious when Level 50 is the max, because spells just get heavily resisted, so the place is all about tank-and-spank.
