What are the internal issues of Gridania?

me leveling my archer in Gridania

Elezen dude: *says something horribly racist*

Me: "I came out to have a good time and i'm honestly feeling so attacked right now"

Gridiania is allowed to exist, it isn't guaranteed to be there. It's not like Uldah and Limasa where they just worry about running things properly. If the elementals get upset with having people in the woods, there will be no more people in the woods. It's why there's so many issues with poachers, Gridanians know they could mess it up for everyone.

Doesn't the current lore say that the elementals have been significantly weakened due to the calamity, and that everyone's just trying to be respectful now despite the fact that the elementals can no longer vaporize everyone..
