It's one of those cases of like you said "be careful what you ask for" you'd be amazed when we analyze data how things pan out.
It's never a "sweet spot" of content. You always get it's too much or not enough no matter what. This is why we are always changing how things are done, to really figure out what people enjoy the most and we try to duplicate it. But in the gaming community, the players interests change so often...
I for one really enjoy campaigns over directives, that is just me though.
