Nothing will get fixed if the community allows culture warriors to seize control

Knowing square enix however they'll be baited into their trap.

You just did exactly what OP said, he pointed out bullet points why the expac is bad and then you strong arm forced it into political argument. Stay offended.

I came into this thread thinking it was about Warrior mains dressed in dapper suits with canes displaying their massive amounts of hoarded wealth, LOL.

The most irritating part about Estinien is it's clearly there is SOMEONE on the team understand the wisdom "sometime less is more". After HW he always has very limited screen time yet each time he appeared, it leaves a feeling of wanting more. And his scenes while short, is extremely varied.

- The goofiness and humorous scenes about him vs the lalafel guild, or his obliviousness with money.

- The profoundness when he defended Alphinaud while talking to Fedora "yes, you are I think it's not worth it because we're realistic. But it's people like him who can dream and make a difference"

- The badarse escapee he had with Gaius.

And more. Seriously, the writers for Estinien and Wuk Lamak need a proper sit down and exchange idea. How to make impactful character with limited time vs how to waste a large amount of time to show next to nothing.

Frankly the "less is more" will involve Estinien and really all the Scions retiring. Their character development has been complete for multiple expansions. Maybe barring Urianger who actually got something in Endwalker.

The community needs to speak up and say: no, this isn't us.

99% of people dissatisfied with Wuk Lamat are dissatisfied about the poor writing, poor characterization, poor quality control, poor pacing, and frankly what is an extremely obvious siphoning of resources to let junior devs helm the ship so senior devs can make some other third project that none of us paid for.

It's time to denounce people who want to twist criticisms into culture war BS and focus on the issues: the horrible job designs, the lackluster undertuned raids, the atrocious story, and broken, poorly thought out systems like DC travel.

and also how BAD they did the character graphics update to make almost all of them a downgrade too, promising they would be as most close to the original and almost not noticeable changes but they ruined faces and changed entire faces to the worst possible. Ambient graphics and textures are fine, but the new models? Not at all. Some of them are better but that's it. They didn't even listened to the majority of concerns of when Benchmark 2 was out, outside of Viera and Lalafells noses and hair glitches.

It's absolutely hilarious how Highlanders still don't have eyebrows after 7.0 upgrade.

You can't even tell that there has been a graphic update in many areas frankly.

I'm sorry but the shout chat filling up with Woke Lamat every day during hunts says you are wrong.

Maybe it's the copium I've been inhaling lately, but the Highlander guy from the Viper quest might be a promising sneak peek of what's to come...?

That, or it's another NPC privilege barred from player characters, like Hrothgar NPCs with hairstyles that aren't bound to their faces, Koana and his male Viera hairstyle, the neon hair colors from Solution 9, removed glamour restrictions on gear, etc.

Interesting, might have to do Viper to check it out then.
